@rowb1t @nerthos @OneRatOneVerySmallTrenchCoat @scathach I dont see anything wrong with state religions including in states like iran as long as they dont enforce their laws that dont proscribe against evil in itself and the religion is non compulsory but I agree that the BJP is bad. killing animals is bad but killing people for killing cows is adharmic.

@OneRatOneVerySmallTrenchCoat @nerthos @rowb1t @scathach oh it makes sense that youre punjabi the punjab saw the most violence and displacement from the partition iirc. I'm really sorry for assuming smh

@kittenlikeasmallcat @nerthos @scathach oh I'm not claiming reading a wikipedia article is a flex just saying that I did what she asked of me

@OneRatOneVerySmallTrenchCoat @nerthos @rowb1t @scathach not sure why im talking to someome openly "anti-india" but the fact that you consider the Hindi people to be colonialists of any kind because of the controversial partition of india which saw death and displacement on both sides is certainly a unique take. they are not occupying or creating colonies in other parts of india that are tamil or gujarati or bengali. they are just a plurality of indians with a prestige culture and dialect. Hindustani people have prominence in both india and Pakistan, creating hindi culture in india and Urdu culture in Pakistan. do you consider Pakistan to be "occupied" by the urdu-speaking people? or do you consider Pakistan preferable because it has one major ethnoreligious group instead of india which tries to emulate a secular ideal (before modern hindu nationalism) while being pan-hindu and sikh and muslim? is there an article that states your opinion you could link me? I have mostly read about the history of india before British colonialism

@lizzie @nerthos @rowb1t imo the overhype of Ireland because theyre white is similar to communist people who hype east germany instead of Cuba or Vietnam

@OneRatOneVerySmallTrenchCoat @nerthos @rowb1t @scathach >Hindi occupied Indian subcontinent sorry but what the hell are you talking about

@rowb1t @nerthos @nyx ethnogenesis is real race is a construct. Europeans try to make jews neatly fit a race or religion categories which they are familiar with but like the Druze and Samaritans jews are more of a tribe than anything.

@OneRatOneVerySmallTrenchCoat @nerthos @rowb1t @scathach I'm very pro-india and no one can deny that but I'm not sure whether I'd consider it a genocide, I should read more about it. the Bangladeshi genocide is on there though which is proper.

@nyx @nerthos @rowb1t I personally consider Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews (who are both descended from a mix of levantines (paternally) and southern euros (maternally) to be like southern Italians, white. I consider mizrahi jews to be non-white since Arabs and arameans/assyrians are not considered white and mizrahi jews are descended from levantines paternally and other middle easterners maternally.

@scathach @nerthos honestly I was ambivalent before and could go either way but after reading about it like you suggested I dont believe it was a genocide

@rowb1t @nerthos it is so cute how you think youre not a white first worlder

@scathach @nerthos sorry but all of you are just using modern revisionist history motivated by irish nationalism. I read the wikipedia article in full. feel free to be outraged by genocide is intentional destruction of a people.

@scathach @nerthos you could argue your case or continue to attack me personally

@scathach @nerthos they include the trail of tears so it can't be argued that its anglo-american bias either

@scathach @nerthos bro its not even in the wikipedia article list of genocides and they stay up to date and have both genocides and genocidal massacres

@nerthos I'm not a postmodernist I use multipolar to mean "more than one superpower and many great powers". and historically whiteness is not something people use within their own communities but is something specifically designed to oppress others, therein lies a key distinction.

what would I do without the remembrance spell and the restoration spell

@shibao but would you eat pussy for it huh huh

@nerthos except im not personally against any European person for being European I'm against whiteness as an oppressive social construct that divides peoples within and without. I think you have made some assumptions as to what motivated my initial post what I was criticizing was not irish people supporting Ireland but (often third-worldist) leftists unusual fixation with Ireland a white christian first world western country. it strikes me as odd and against the spirit of supporting a multipolar world. as an alternative I argued that certain "developing" countries should be celebrated more. I dont know about the situation of the mapuches but I'm 100 percent sure that a people rejecting treaties and comitting terrorism doesnt justify genocide and never has, just as the Israeli genocide against Gaza isnt justified or the chinese oppression of the uyghurs.

the (puranic I believe) story of parvati performing austerities to become fair skinned makes me so mad
