i'm feeling controversial today so here's another hot take. and before you type away at your keyboards, know that this is all coming from a south asian.

white leftists have got to stop acting like christianity is the only religion that deserves to be criticized and you cannot touch any other religion because that'd be racist and bigoted. because as an indian who's watching my country progress towards hindu nationalism, this attitude doesn't help at all.

white people see hinduism as this exotic brown religion that's so much more progressive but don't know the violence of the caste system, how it others a large portion of the population on the basis of caste, literally branding them as "untouchables". they teach us in school that this problem is a thing of the past but the caste system is still alive and shows itself in violent ways. and that's not even covering how non hindus are treated in the country. muslims especially are being killed, have their houses bulldozed, businesses destroyed, and are being denied housing, our fucking prime minister called them infiltrators and there's this fear among hindu extremists that they'll outnumber the hindus in the country. portraying hinduism as this exotic religion does a disservice to all those oppressed by the hindutva ideology

similarly, white people see buddhism as this hippie religion that's all about peace but have no idea how extremist buddhists in myanmar have been persecuting the rohingya muslims for years and drive them out of the country.

if anything portraying these religions as exotic hippie brown religions is a type of orientalism itself.

and also y'all have got to realize that just because christianity has institutional power in america doesn't mean there aren't parts of the world where they are persecuted on the basis of religion. yes karen from florida who cries christophobia because she sees rainbow sprinkles on a cake is stupid but christian oppression DOES exist in non western countries where they're a minority. pakistani christians get lynched almost on a daily basis over blasphemy accusations. just look up the case of asia bibi, a pakistani christian woman who was sentenced to death on blasphemy charges because of something she said when she was being denied water because it was "forbidden" for a christian and a muslim to drink from the same utensil and she'd made it unclean just by touching it (which is ALSO rooted in casteism and part of pakistani christians' oppression also comes from the fact that a lot of them are dalit but that's a whole other discussion). and that's just one christian group, this isn't even going into what copts, assyrians, armenians etc have faced and continue to face. saying that christians everywhere are privileged because of american christianity actually harms christian minorites in non western countries.

and one last thing because this post is getting too long: someone being anti america doesn't automatically mean they're the good guys. too many times i've been seeing westerners on twitter dot com praise the fucking taliban just because they hate america. yes, the same taliban who banned education for women, thinks women should be imprisomed at home, and consistently oppresses religious and ethnic minorities in afghanistan. yes, america's war on afghanistan was bad and they SHOULD be called out for their war crimes there. no, the taliban are still not the good guys. BOTH of them are bad. you cannot pretend to care about muslims and brown people if you praise the taliban. because guess what? most of their victims are BROWN MUSLIM WOMEN. but of course white libs who praise them don't rub their two braincells together to make that conclusion.

this post has gotten too long and i've just been rambling so the point of this post is: white "leftists" whose politics are primarily america centric should stop acting like criticism of ideologies like hindutva, buddhist extremism, and islamic extremism BY people affected by these ideologies is the same as racism or religious intolerance because that helps literally no one except the extremist bigots. also america is not the centre of the world, just because something isn't happening in america doesn't mean it isn't happening elsewhere

If there’s one lesson from history I could beam into every American’s brain it’s that while dictators WILL cast their opposition as the terrorist riff raf that need to be done away with, they will ALSO cast their opposition as the Elites - the social elites, the economic elites, even the class elites - that stand against the cause of the Working Man, whom the dictator represents. (They will cast the opposition as the elites pretty much no matter what their actual economic background is. They will find a way to make you an Elite, whether because your clothes are too fancy or you have a copy of Doesteyevski in your house or a set of wineglasses. Just like there is always something about you that can make you an Enemy of the State or a Terrorist, there is always something you have or believe that is Elite.)

This serves to break the line, to turn people against basic liberal values, and to make the opposition doubt themselves - because what if they really are the elites? What if they really have turned against the cause of the working man by not supporting the dictator? After all, if this is the mass desire of the masses, who are they to judge? It doesn’t matter if it’s the supposed Elites who continue to support mass education, or the minimum wage, or a legal system that isn’t just arresting people in the middle of the night, or any policies obviously better for the majority. They’re the elites, see, and they don’t Know the cause of the working people like the dictator does. (This is also how dictatorships work- to curry the favour of the upper class and create mass doubt against the intellectuals and educated middle class, and also to turn the poor against the very very poor.)

eventually, even standing against basic human freedoms eroded by the dictatorship becomes an Elite thing to do- because how privileged must you be to care about press or law when you have food on the table and someone else does not?

don’t fall for it, people. Don’t fucking fall for it
