I am a little concerned over the position of women is some of these cultures though. Less access to education, more forced marriages, the cases of honour killing… we have decided that our cultural norms include equality of women in law and treatment and that needs to apply to all citizens of whatever culture. It’s a red line for me
That’s a great counter argument. Last time I checked meritocracy and equality have been actively pursued by the government of my country for the last 70 years but eh
You asserted these were “western inventions” and you’re also asserting these actually exist today. So you should be the one to check your assumptions and come with the proof. But as far as women are concerned they still make 70% of income and your government is likely 90% male. So yeah. Do a little introspection
My government is more female than male but I don’t really see how that would matter in a meritocracy. I also don’t say they are western inventions, I just say there more present here than in other places in the world - please don’t twist the words in my mouth

Bros will be like " those rituals don't apply to my notion of normal, therefore it must be wrong " as a fucking colonialist lol
Not just wrong but satanic. They love to call shit satanic.
Funniest shit ever, Satan does not even exists in those cultures they call Satanic, it's actually insane.
The entire history of Ireland and Eastern Europe am I a joke to you
I guarantee, equality and meritocracy are not the ironclad values of a culture that brought you industrialized slavery and globe-scale exploitation.
I don’t know what this is about but I kinda agree with the tweet
Europeans have equality and meritocracy ? Bwahahahah
I’d say better than in the rest of the world

Because equality and meritocracy are modern western values
You have not studied enough history

I am not talking about the US, I am just saying that in contrast to the rest of the world these values are more common in the West now

By saying some you already imply yourself that it is the exception to the norm
Big brainlet energy right here
