the way leftists online (and probs irl in progressive circles but idk) talk abt ppl from swa/na is insane. trying to oppose racism so hard it turns into racism again. just full blown orientalism but from the other side. if u oppose racism u gotta uhhhhh woobify n infantilize entire ethnic n religious groups n strip them of their agency. im not even arab n im offended for them.
#this is esp so belittling n erasing to women/lgbt ppl/disabled ppl/ethnic n religious minorities/etc. n their struggles#ppl who saw 'modern day homophobia n misogyny r a direct result of colonialism' n just kept running w it not knowing where#like imagine being a yemeni woman that had the houthis destroy her community draft her son at 13 and marry her daughter off at 8#n see her die at childbirth (bc that what happens to a lot of these girls n no one likes to talk abt it)#then come online n see braindead westerners going 'awwww theyre pirates uwu just like one piece!!'#id get homicidal
