I have zero problems with critique of the west. The problem is those people only want to allow criticism of the west and nothing else

Yea, and that'd probably be something I diverge from them too. Though, from what I can tell, their whole thing is very ideological, so if they believe there's nothing salvageable in the west because of its basic ideology (ie, liberalism and capitalism), then I'm not sure they can logically be very open minded about positives in the west, and I for one am happy to hear out ideological critiques, even if it can get silly or superficial in any particular argument, not least because many arguments on social media are pretty silly and superficial.
