It’s so utterly gross and never fails to make my stomach churn. Discussions of Women’s rights and patriarchy within Muslim communities are happening all the time, in mosques, youth groups, hoyseholds (I speak with my mother consistently on these issues), bot as much as they really need to in my opinion but they occur nonetheless. Yet it is divorced from the invented reality which white liberals (and even leftists) live in, and if they were to peer into our conversation, which I’d prefer they didn’t as they can’t help to insert their chauvinistic views onto us often, they’d find it unrecognizable to what they expect, and that makes sense. They aren’t a part of the community nor do they have insight on how it operates very well, I don’t expect them to understand, but I’d personally like them to stop this overt fetishism for Muslim women if they genuinely wish to improve the situation at all. It only feeds into conservative narratives of patriarchal norms and the “necessity” (status quo) of maintaining “tradition” since all of us see the intervention of liberals in our spaces as dangers to our community.

I really hope Bolivia’s leftist expirement isn’t destroyed and that they’ll cone out of this current situation better off, whatever that looks like.

The part with the mirror makes me think if at least 4 different things.

Would Omori count as horror?

Are there any counter-actions being organized?

Do you believe it would be worth it to email the authors asking for a pdf?

There 100% social democrats who think this about the KPD.

Converted my Mother, now she wants to visit the DPRK, China, and Cuba. She’s not a well read Marxist, she doesn’t really like reading, but she hates imperialism and supports communists generally.

I hate Orwell but the phrase:

“Freedom is Slavery, War is Peace, Ignorance is Strength”

Is really a perfect way you describe liberals. Ironic that they are the ones who accuse others of falling into it so much.

Judges being responsible to the public, and gaining their mandate through popular election is anti-democracy. Lol’d at the comments of the US Ambassador.
