    Sure the west and their settler colonialism massive resource extraction and so on is great. And its not like the many religious problems against say homosexuality in christian Africa can’t be directly be blamed on christian missionaries. And its also not like poverty and brutal attacks on secular nationalists in the middle east in the name of fighting communism has anything to do with modern political Islam. No sir.

      That’s quite some whataboutism. I’m clearly talking about the insanity of 9 year old girls being forced to wed…

        That is clearly a reach given the statement “thinking the west has a better way is colonialism” is a massively ahistorical racist take.

          You don’t think the West has a better approach on whether or not 9 year old girls are forced to wed?

        You could have left colonialism out of it. You brought the western shit into the discussion. If you just said the west has better age of consent, everyone would agree.

          No, I was making the point that it’s currently popular to shit on the West exporting its ideals, but when it’s something as blindingly obvious as “maybe 9 year old girls shouldn’t be forced into marriage” then maybe on this one occasion that sense of superiority is well placed and necessary
