Samsuma@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•Iran Says Air Defenses Down 2 Israeli Warplanes, Female Pilot Captured3·7 days agoyou weren’t going to read anything anyway that so much as humanizes the Global South, let alone Muslim women.
Samsuma@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•Iran Says Air Defenses Down 2 Israeli Warplanes, Female Pilot Captured7·7 days agoAh but you see, that line only works when it’s used by a lib. The same standard does not apply to them!
There’s absolutely no need to read books like “Do Muslim Women Need Saving?” for a better understanding on why Western media’s portrayal of Muslims is the way that it is, why do so when it’s much easier to regurgitate unfounded, fabricated, downright mythological what-is-practically Western projections on to populations that they deem “uncivilized”, all at the comfort of doing so from your own couch!

To the lurkers, if this was somehow not obvious, /s.

Samsuma@lemmy.mlto Memes@lemmy.ml•It's almost like a colonial power intentionally divided the region so they'll be focused on infighting instead of competing with said colonial power5·24 days agoOf course the situation might’ve been different. You wouldn’t have dumb needless animosity on sectarian lines as they do today. Understand that by saying dumb shit like “The fighting would’ve happened anyway!” serves two purposes: a) to minimize the depravity of the British, the British Raj and colonialism in general and b) assumes that clashes on the basis of sectarianism is an inevitable pathway. Btw, partitioning is a tried-and-tested, colonial “divide and conquer” tactic.
Point is, a lot more lives could’ve been spared had it not been for colonialism that plagued the area, this is indisputable.

Do you think the fighting would’ve lasted as long if the British never colonized that area?

I wish you and your German contemporaries could apply the same ass sentiment to the immigrants demonized in your country that have narrowly escaped the same ongoing wars/genocides backed by your state.
I do recognize international solidarity, it’s just that there’s more emphasis on solidarity with the workers of the Global South and it doesn’t include comfy libs, a majority of which are from the Global North. If that wasn’t hinted at in my original comment, then it is explicitly suggested here.
one unforgivably tried to appeal to the imperial core, (if somehow you’ve succumbed to the memory-holing, there’s analysis done here if you’re not allergic to reading), and the other? Well… Let’s take a look at what they’ve done by looking at the best of all time comments I’ve saved on this subject have to say:
- NATO Expansionism, the Maidan Coup and fashslop
- Media’s attitude on Ukraine over time
- More fashslop (that serve the interests of the Imperial Core)
- Even more fashslop
So yes, the meme posted is incredibly based.
(BTW many thanks to the users in these posts, your analyses + your due diligence to always provide a source for your claims are excellent. Hell, literally all it takes is a single undoctored image.)
It doesn’t really matter what you and I think. The wider public, as well as this community, recognizes that as a meme.
Here, have a look at many such examples of the same format:

There is no stringent definition of what a meme is or can be, despite what Merriam Webbster wants you to think. That there’s a meme, plain and simple.

How does equating two European ethno-supremacist entities and their horrible crimes downplay what happened in the Holocaust?
Arguably the latter lunatic European ethno-supremacist cancer entity plaguing West Asia is worse, but there are way too many similarities between the two to dismiss the idea of equating the two.
