I think the level of Liberal brainworm toxicity of any given diaspora community in the West is directly proportional to the success of their home country in combatting imperialist schemes. Cuban and Venezuelan guasanos. Iranian Monarchists… whatever Yeonmi Park is…

The biggest joke in the world are Americans who think that they live in more of a democracy than modern Iran.

Glad to see you resisted the reactionary monarchist diaspora curse 💪

No problem and thank you for the conversation.

Don’t get me wrong, lots of times religions have been used as a weapon, like in Indonesia as you said but we could really talk about so many.

But to use that and say all types of Islam are equally reactionary and to blanket criticize religion generally is just xenophobic chauvanism. People in the Lemmy version of this thread are saying pretty heinous things and theres still a lot of questionable posts in this lemmygrad one too.

The development of Resistance Islam as part of Khomeinist revolution in Islamic politics and thought is objectively good for all people on earth, Muslims and not Muslims. One cannot be Pro-Palestine and think such things about religious people and faiths generally. Thats my only point here.

Hopefully that’s not what you took from what I said and my subsequent messages. (I didn’t downvote you)

No no. I replied because you’re one of the few reasonable replies here.

I agree, the contradiction is imperialism and it will use whatever methods available to maintain itself.

Palestine would have been completely gobbled up if not for the principled anti-imperialist revolutionary liberation theology of the Islamic Revolution.

Communists saying that religion is always backwards just shows these “anti-imperialist” dont see us as human.
