Your post is 100% the sheep/Liberal/Lefty indoctrination jingoism camp. You are EXACTLY what this article is against, and your mindless up-voters do not even see it…Ignorance of history and mocking the Missionaries (and so the West historically), most of whom gave their lives to serve the poor around the globe.
Fuzzie wuzzies were the fallows of the Mahdi, and thus fanatical Muslims, the missionaries did not get sent to civilize them. Kipling wrote the poem which made that name famous, for their sheer bravery and determination – they ‘Broke The British Square’ with the meagerest of arms, something which only happened a couple times in British history.
“We’ve fought with many men acrost the seas,
An’ some of ’em was brave an’ some was not:
The Paythan an’ the Zulu an’ Burmese;
But the Fuzzy was the finest o’ the lot.
We never got a ha’porth’s change of ‘im:
‘E squatted in the scrub an’ ‘ocked our ‘orses,”
“‘E cut our sentries up at Sua~kim~,
An’ ‘e played the cat an’ banjo with our forces.
So ‘ere’s ~to~ you, Fuzzy-Wuzzy, at your ‘ome in the Soudan;
You’re a pore benighted ‘eathen but a first-class fightin’ man;
We gives you your certificate, an’ if you want it signed
We’ll come an’ ‘ave a romp with you whenever you’re inclined.
We took our chanst among the Khyber ‘ills,
The Boers knocked us silly at a mile,
The Burman give us Irriwaddy chills,
An’ a Zulu ~impi~ dished us up in style:
But all we ever got from such as they
Was pop to what the Fuzzy made us swaller;
We ‘eld our bloomin’ own, the papers say,
But man for man the Fuzzy knocked us ‘oller.
Then ‘ere’s ~to~ you, Fuzzy-Wuzzy, an’ the missis and the kid;
Our orders was to break you, an’ of course we went an’ did.
We sloshed you with Martinis, an’ it wasn’t ‘ardly fair;
But for all the odds agin’ you, Fuzzy-Wuz, you broke the square.”
The neoliberal global corporations spent $16Bn on the Biden campaign. The least he can do is fly their flag above that of the United States.

The Rainbow flag has become less a symbol of the gay community and is more the flag of a radicalised liberal humanism, that aspires to the same hegemonic position the church held in medieval Europe.
And being pushed from the same direction towards today’s benighted heathen. In the sixteenth century it was conquistadors burning Aztecs as heathen, today it’s America telling someone else they’re heathen.

When looking for an excuse to bomb a country, homophobia and racism will do.
We fought the Russians in Afghanistan by proxie, with KSA money dollar for dollar, and Saudi with ISI created the Taliban in the process, with their Deobandi/(Salifast if I may) madrassas, the ones who then kicked out the mujahideen and re-enforced Pashtunwali, the code of the Pashtuns that requires the Bruqua and separation of women.
THEN we went into Afghanistan to kick out the Saudi Osama, and THEN we stayed to give the women and girls Western Liberalism. This is actually true – the Talib are not outward threats, but the press on the treatment of Afghani women was really the reasons we stayed – it was all the MSM, with Feminists, and Liberal bed-wetters who mired us in that disaster for 20 additional years, for the sake of bringing Liberalism to that land. How I could talk of this issue, Iraq……
The Irony of the entire Afghanistan war is breath taking.

“liberal cultural imperialists” – that sums it up succinctly.
Missionary zeal in its modern form. Teach those fuzzy wuzzies to become civilised. The trouble is, it’s the civilisers who are the barbarians.

Indeed. Kipling was a saint.

Its neoreligion. Same old stuff, different beliefs
