The unexamined assumption that Western liberal democratic institutions, values, and practices are the natural, universal, and only legitimate baseline for all political systems. Any deviation is measured against this default and found wanting. Western political defaultism makes it impossible to see the flaws in one’s own system, because the system itself is the standard of judgment. It dismisses non‑Western political experiments as “failed” before understanding them, and it treats critiques of the West as automatically “anti‑democratic.” It is the cognitive architecture of epistemic colonialism.
