Awful takes from awful people

whenever you hear the word “decolonization” you pretty much know right off the bat that you are talking to a Marxist. These people have no real knowledge of history, or any other subject for that matter and are generally best ignored or ridiculed. Colonialism has pretty much existed since ancient times and there’s nothing inherently “white” about it… it’s just part of HUMAN experience.

I know that I should laugh because it’s so ridiculous, but the idea that Marxists “have no REAL KNOWLEDGE of history” really pisses me off. It makes me so incredibly angry that shitlibs wag their fingers with an unearned sense of superiority because they can regurgitate lessons from their high school history class and haven’t picked up a non-harry potter book since, while people that do countless hours of research, reading, thinking, and (hopefully) actually taking action in their communities are dismissed as the dumb ones, the clueless ones…it’s really maddening, luckily Marxism is completely correct, otherwise it’d be so easy to doubt myself.

reminds me of this

It is so frustrating to argue with libs who make arguments so old that literally Marx himself responded to them. I get the impression that Marxists already won the debate back in the 19th century and the liberal tactic has just been to pretend the debate has never happened, to continue repeating centuries-old arguments over and over again as if they’ve never been responded to, and to discourage anyone from looking into Marxism or reading Marx, Lenin, Mao, etc.

They did that shit with Bernie Sanders and the “who will pay for it” line, pretending like there was no answer, even though it had been addressed in his campaign website as well as several interviews.

A few math people dared to ask the question, “why is every math major a white guy?”, and a certain section of racist libs completely lost their minds.

Sure, colonialism was not “invented” by “white” people, but euros did a lot of it world wide for the last 5 centuries

Claiming something is human nature and using it as an excuse to ignore it is one of the worst qualities of libs
