Right, the spread of Islam is well documented through conquests and force conversions of natives or else they'd be killed! Which is why I'm puzzled how Islam has been romanticized by the loony left. Of course, The Western world is currently at war with radical Islam and to the left that means they're only victims of Western imperialism, who need to be treated like royalty while any questions are seen as Islamphobia!
The Left has a very deeply-rooted rule of not questioning people they consider to be lower on the privilege stack regardless of whether what they're being told contradicts with what they can see with their own eyes. Likewise, the history of "oppressed peoples" must always be viewed through the most rose-tinted glasses possible. If Muslims say the spread of their religion was peaceful, it was peaceful. If they say they treat women better than Western culture, they do. If a 3rd generation Indian woman in California says that transexuals used to be worshipped in India before the British arrived, then they did! All evidence to the contrary must be dismissed as deception by The Right. The truth is, there is no expansion without violence. No empire or kingdom or nation or ideology in the history of humanity came into existence without violence. The question should not be, which was the most peaceful? But rather, which made the best contributions to the world?
It's true that marginalised people don't always vote in the interested of people sharing their marginalisation - see any Republican in the closet who were always routinely voting against gay rights while still fucking dudes. That is, of course, their right - and can be seen as hypocritical. Of course, that's also expecting someone who is, in this instance, part of the alphabet, to want to vote for all the alphabet's interests, as if a) being gay is the only thing that matters about Buttigieg, and b) he has to support every group that has tied itself to the LGB bandwagon no matter what, whether it be troons, asexuals, or on and on down the line of all the groups that try to get in on the 'queer victim' ideology.
I'm going to get a bunch of bad stickers, but I do think he's got a point there with the lung cancer vaccine and 98% literacy rate...
Nah man, Cuba is a space age utopia. You can definitely trust all the true and honest statistics their government publishes. Just like North Korea.
It illustrates how they think. In SJW world, everything can be divided into Goodies and Baddies. A country must be 100% good or 100% bad. Nothing of any nuance is allowed. You can’t say that trump has done a few good things and a few bad but is generally so far a quite average to ok president. It must be orange man bad. You can’t say that Cuba is in general crap due to lack of freedom and the economy being shit but it has a few things it’s done well on, such as literacy and cimavex. You can’t say that. It’s got to be all good or all evil. Nothing in between. Welcome to SJW land.
The US’ literacy rate is 99% and it’s not like we don’t have groundbreaking disease vaccines in the States either. The difference is that we also don’t detain people for criticizing anything the government does.
Islam is pretty colonial though, just look at how fast it spread:
No, everyone lived in perfect harmony in Africa and the middle east before the white devil came and ruined everything. It would all be Wakanda from sea to sea if not for wypipo. Religion of peace. Tribes of peace. Europeans invented violence. Everything else was invented by Africans and Arabs.
I always wondered what would happen if you showed these kinds of people something like Hotel Rwanda or First They Killed My Father. Would their brains implode from it challenging their ideas or would they try to explain it away somehow?
I think it’s fair to say that many of the subjects posted here probably don’t interact with many minorities or cherry pick the ones they do interact with.
Oh, their subculture already has some prepared hot takes for those courtesy of old Soviet and Maoist collaborator academics like Noam Chomsky. Chomskyite stuff are the only fucking things they've ever read on the subjects, so they have just enough cherry picked knowledge to dismiss these sorts of incidents when they're brought up and avoid cognitive dissonance.
Considering this is an SJW we're talking about, I feel like she deserves a medal for consistency. Actually holding a group of brown people to a similar standard on something? Shock and amazement!
They have an educated, and entrepreneurial (how else do you survive under communism...) population, and a beautiful island. If they could get a decent government in they could be a really smart little country and probably quite unique in that part of the world. They have fantastically intact coral and marine environments too - they could go for the high end eco tourism, biomed research, and become somewhere with a high standard of living quite rapidly.
