Western Chauvinism

Western chauvinism is a term that emphasizes the unabashed embrace and belief in the superiority of the western world, with an ethnocentric focus on maintaining a "western culture." Members of the Proud Boys often refer to themselves as "western chauvinists," and part of the Proud Boys' indoctrination ritual includes the use of the phrase, "I am a proud western chauvinist and I refuse to apologize for creating the modern world."
