Since Ethiopians are Orthodox and bear very similar values to Europeans as a whole are they viewed as "Western" in any way

You do realize Christianity comes from Palestine ?
>>135466409

Zionism/modern israel is the "antichrist" not a religious person here, but if you think about it, you have people falsely claiming to be descendants of the chosen one, who are persecuting the real descendants of the so called "chosen people", modern day palestinians, who were probably jews at some point, some stayed jews, the majority became christians, then when islam came around some beceame muslims.
But palestinian christians are proud that they stuck to christianity even under islamic rule (had to pay taxes for being christian) which was one million times better than being occupied by modern day israelis.

Yeah, I just used Ethiopians as they were Black while still retaining the similar values

Even though I love my Ethiopian Orthodox cousins, Ethiopian society is in no way "Western".
Western society values individual rights, free speech, democracy, etc., none of which are found in any measurable way in Ethiopia.

Moving to the West will make Ethiopians materially better off, but more prone to degeneracy like everyone else that lives in the west

Yeah I've heard of journalists getting arrested here frequently for speaking on government issues
