Getting the global Left to be apologists for Islam is the single biggest coup that Islamists have pulled off in the West. Using their own resources to target them.
Like having lambs carry the swords for their own slaughter. The Left are the #JihadCoolies.
Of course, Hindu "secular Left" in India are equally complicit #JihadCoolies as well.
It is worth recalling what happened to the Iranian Left after they collaborated in the Islamic takeover of Iran. The Leftists leaders were tortured and forced to publicly "confess" on TV.
The Islamic Regime of Iran tortured and forced the Leftists leaders (who'd helped in the "Islamic revolution") to "confess" and recant their ideology publically, because "The regime considered Marxism the main ideological rival of Islam." Marxism was akin to a religious rival.
"Kianuri was an Iranian Leftist, dubbed the 'Communist Ayatollah' ...he had often appeared on television praising the Islamic Republic as the best bulwark against U.S. imperialism."
This communist later recanted on TV...how Marxism was a foreign ideology which betrayed Iranians.
The Islamic Regime had turned on the Left soon after the Revolution, because the Left had started criticizing the regime for their persecution of the Bahai and of women. (note to "feminist" apologists for Islam).
You cannot ride the tiger of Islamism with the hope to "tame" it.
While out of power both Islamists and Communists attack "nationalism" they both become fiercely nationalist when in power. Both China and Iran are hyper-nationalist.
China considers Islam a "mental illness" and Iran executed or imprisoned Marxists after the Islamic Revolution.
Each totalitarian ideology, right-wing Christianity, Islamism and Marxism, knows how to deal with the other.
Plural indigenous societies don't understand the nature of totalitarianisms which seek to erase all others, so are at a loss to deal with them.
Marxism parallels religion was considered a "rival" by the Islamic regime—"Unlike liberalism, nationalism, and monarchism, it challenged religious metaphysics, held out a utopian future, and offered a comprehensive view of the past and the present."
By a combination of 1. Having a home team. There are plenty of Islamic universities in the world, unlike in India where the state destroyed Hindu scholarship. 2. Huge State funding to Western academia 3. Creating victim narrative
Many "modern" medicine are also extracts of herbs. But the pharma industry relies on dismissing the original because it can't be patented and yields much less profit.
And they'll attack scientific studies which don't fit their prejudice and pocketbook.
Here is an example of @theliverdr misleads and misreads even their own research in even simple things like whether drinking more water is helpful for health.
With his initial list of "debunking" why drinking water doesn't help, he cites the following article:
I will post explanations and queries from the paper. It uses a unique cryptographic approach to decipher the IVC script. More technical people need to do history. @yajnadevam
It makes the case that the script maps to a language, and uses regex to map it to Sanskrit.
@yajnadevam First question:
"The seal Dmd-1 single jar sign matches ana and eliminates other alternatives like ja and la."
Over 50% of White Liberal Women have a Mental Health issue.
This thread is not to mock them, mental health issues are serious and real. But here are some insights into why "progressives" may disproportionately suffer from mental health issues. 🧵
Evie has a somewhat conservative take on this: "Progressivism is an ideology that supposedly demands quality for all, and one that keeps score to an exhausting degree.... that isn't just unrealistic, it's unsustainable."
In a dharmic gaze, equality is not only unrealistic, it is unnatural. So an ideological obsession for equality is a constant fight against nature.
From an Indic point of view, anything that takes us away from the Real, will lead to mental issues.
U.S. has world’s highest rate of children living in single-parent households.
If this the society to emulate?
“Older adults in the U.S. are more likely than those around the world to age alone: More than a quarter of Americans ages 60 and older live alone (27%), compared with a global average of 16%.”
Research shows that children raised in single parent households show impaired cognitive development and also a higher incidence of mental health issues.
So we build a less able next generation… is this a desired societal outcome?
Congress otoh starts its agenda on Day 1. It is very clear about its constituencies and its supporters and always takes care of them first.
The BJP is keen to appease the "opposite camp" instead and scared to do anything that might upset them. It doesn't mind riding roughshod over its supporters. They can even be killed, as in WB, and it won't act. Because someone could perceive it as "favoritism." It's a mental liability.
There are no "irreversible changes." Congress will change things the day that come back to power. Meanwhile BJP lost 10 years and an entire generation fed on toxic textbooks. They could have reinstated MM Joshi's books in a day. Just cowardice.
Many manual scavengers of today can be traced back to the Muslim invasions.
"scholars such as Malkani (1980) among others established that the Bhangis (manual scavengers) were warriors who made captives after they became the prey to the enemy, particularly Muslim invaders..."
So warriors aka kshatriyas, became bhangis due to Islamic force. So much for Islam being "emancipatory"—they created dalits.
"The people who were made captives were
forced to clean indoor latrines and to dispose of the night soil. When these captives were set free, they were not allowed to live in society, and they thus formed a separate caste of Bhangis and continued the work of scavenging.
And manual scavenging become widespread due to the other "emancipators of dalits", the British.
Manual scavenging "was expanded along with the expansion of towns or cities over the last two hundred years... it was legalized and spread across India during the British period."
