    Remember when american interventionism helped all the LGBT people and other minorities in their respective countries? Me neither.

        Interestingly, while present-day Muslims assume that homosexual behaviour was outlawed by Islam, it was not until after the colonial period of the late 18th and 19th centuries that this conservative opinion became prominent. Scholars such as Dunne (1998), Kligerman (2007), Kugle (2010a), Lapidus and Lena (2014) and Nawaz (2016) insist that intolerance towards queerness and homosexuality was introduced to the Muslim world during the period of European colonialism.

        Is that quasi-Wojak pic supposed to represent a socially unacceptable repulsive person or something?

        Removing the chanlord rage scribbling, I would have probably dated someone like that back in college and had a good time.

    liberals when asked to uphold the international values of sovereignty and duty to protect that THEY created (like literally the same individuals): racism

    liberals are indiscriminately leveling schools and hospitals with everyone inside, don’t think it gets more oppressive than that no matter how much you swear you killed those children for a good cause.

    I love how the west secretly wants to be a dictatorship by constantly comparing themselves to theocratic dictatorships. They are no friend to people.

    The position, that state and church should be divided, while also everyone should have the right to believe whatever they like, is something from the classic liberalism. Not what you have now, but the kind of liberalism which was on the rise, when also the bourgeoisie got more and more influence. I guess it is understandable what I try to say.

    It was also common to say by the german communists after the second world war, that it would be the communists who would defend the basic bourgeois rights (freedom of speach, freedom of arts, freedom of press, freedom of religion etc.), while the bourgeoisie would attack it constantly. What I try to say is, that ppl on those screenshots are stupid and simply don’t understand anything.

    Also, where does this “white christian” thing comes from? I never heard of this and also never encountered a marxist, which would blame something on christians, which are white. I can imagine that maybe there is political tendency if you have christians, which are white, but the cause of such tendency is neither being white nor being a christian.

    “The strawpeople in my head get along even though they should be fighting. They must be conspiring to destroy me, because that’s what I want to do to them. This is a real thing happening in the world and not just in my imagination.”

      ISIS really earned their state dept checks.

      Simultaneously served US geopolitical interests while being so utterly heinous with their cartoonish reactionary bullshit that the average American associates it with all Muslims…who are more often fierce opponents of the US, Al Qaeda, and ISIS. Their crimes could be pointed to when trying to win public support for “the war on terror”…which would coincidentally involve fighting other Muslim-majority groups.

      Even libs who “opposed the wars” took the bait.

    Lot of straw men being destroyed here.

    Seeing libs and chuds try to call us out is always reassuring because it’s so apparent that we know our enemies way better than they do.
