Your Definition
A [portmanteau] of "Western" and "Bulverism" (assuming your opponent is wrong and explaining why they hold that error). This fallacy occurs when, instead of refuting a dissident or non-hegemonic argument, one dismisses it by asserting: 1) "All other systems are worse," 2) "It's the system that works," or 3) by slapping it with labels like "pseudoscience," "[relativism]," or "[post-modernism]." The refutation consists of justifying the opponent's supposed motives (arrogance, ignorance, ideology) from within the dominant worldview, thereby protecting the hegemony from substantive critique.
