No you're better than this.

I'm afraid I'm really not. I'm not happy with 'Western influence' nowadays. I have enormous respect for historical Western culture - there's too much to sum up. But right now, I'd rather live in a country that is isolated from the West.

How was it before significant contact with the west. We're not talking modern shit here.

Ah, well then I agree (wrote the previous part before reading this). Small counterpoint: Japan was culturally pretty decent before Western contact as well though. Japanese cleanliness and orderliness did not spring out of nowhere. Its industry and modernization did though.
