there’s a very insidious form of racism in the western left when people act like fascists in nonwhite or nonwestern countries shouldn’t be held to the same standard y’all hold fascists in the US and europe
fascist theocratic regime supporters are just as bad in the middle east or elsewhere as they are in the west and you not wanting to call that shit out is just that type of racism where you think nonwhite people can do no wrong, it’s infantilizing and gross
“The Taliban aren’t that bad!”
THE TALIBAN SHOT MALALA FOR THE HEINOUS CRIME OF BEING A GIRL GOING TO SCHOOL BECKY!!!! THEY ARE FASCISTS!!!!
How you gonna claim the Taliban are unfairly maligned when you don’t even know that they’re Pashto not Arab!? “I don’t even know what ethnic group dominates the Taliban but I DO know that they are actually smol beans!”
I know that and you know that but she seems to think if you’re not White, Black, or Asian, you’re Arab.
