No mention of farts or IQs or lacking clues or braincell counts. It is called repect. He is treating me with respect and in return he has earned my respect.
In future I am more likely to listen to his opinions or views than say for someone I don’t respect…

Farts? Apparently the term “talking out of your ass” means something different in New Zealand than it does in the US. As far as respect if you want it I suppose you need to deserve it. Why would anybody respect an individual who freely admits to know little if anything about Western systems yet is right there at the front of the line to offer up criticism? Nobody cares if you hate western systems. Nobody cares if you know anything about them. However if you’re going to criticize something at least know what you’re talking about or you pretty much end up looking like a joke. Kinda hard to respect a joke.
