So I made a mistake in engaging in a post about Islam - again - and I told myself before to not engage but I just had to because of the “suspicious” responses in that thread and now I have been accused of occidentalism - a literal reverse racism argument. Not that they’ll even be aware of the term but I didn’t expect people to read the books and articles I listed at the start of my argument (who reads anyways, am I right?)

And now I wonder why I stopped my break from posting on this site in the first place.

Maybe you all were right that this site can not be (re)educated. I apologize - I have not interacted enough with white people to know they were like this.

Going to take a long break.

I am going to violate my posting break just to leave this article:

Gay universalism, homoracialism and « marriage for all » by Houria Bouteldja.

I have had arguments over this on here and Lemmygrad and so I am not going to engage further.

Just know that there is a different set of arguments and realities that we in the global south have to deal with it, away from the tired (and often orientalist/chauvinist) liberal-conservative dichotomy.
