    Yeah, because polygamy definitely wasn’t tightly linked to the cultural system of exploitation and oppression of women in Burkina Faso - it just existed in a cultural vacuum and Sankara was an evil dictator for taking away freedoms /s

    Reminds me of their liberal takes on drug use, even in countries like China that have strict anti-drug laws for good reason: opium was forced down their throats by the western powers and used to pacify and impoverish hundreds of thousands of ppl.

    They literally can’t think in any framework other than a western one. No, it isn’t the edgy, transgressive but ultimately nihilistic and soulless polygamistic sex you do with all your nerdy Anarchist buddies, it’s an institution of patriarchal dominance you removed.

    They literally will find any little thing to criticize. I need to learn more about Thomas Sankara. Any recommendations? Books?
