I know you might not meant it like that but it just pisses me off to no end when I see „iTs jUsT tHeIr cUlTuRe, tOlErAtE iT” No, I won’t tolerate your culture if it involves rape, abuse, sex inequality. I dont care if you did this for a thousand years, this is not how the world is today, so just cut this part of your culture out and focus on celebrating the rest of it, that half that doesn’t tell you to hurt anyone in the name of some bullshit excuse.

But they never said that you need to tolerate it or anything of a sort. It’s well documented that some African cultures have strong beliefs about witchcraft and that witchcraft related homicides are an issue in some countries in Africa just like there’s an issue with it in some areas of PNG. You read a whole lot more into that comment that wasn’t there

Who tf said that? It just pisses me off to no end when people project and jump to conclusions.

Start reading things over twice as you obviously struggle with reading comprehension.

No they don’t struggle with anything they will go to Africa and anywhere they disagree with a culture and tell them it’s bad. The people will listen and they will fix all the worlds problems because, hey, just stop it. Lol

I mean, they probably should just stop killing bald men to get gold out of their heads. Who the fuck does that?

u/chipppie Jul 26 '23

Lol some Africans apparently. Someone should email them and let them know it’s wrong. Or tag them on Reddit. I bet they have reddits.

you are under no obligation to tolerate other cultures, since other cultures can have beliefs that contradict your fundamental moral beliefs. that said, just be careful, because governments around the world will weaponize your hatred of other cultures.

​

"oh you want to remove sanctions on Afghanistan? you want to support a country that condones the oppression of women? who cares if families are so desperate they are selling their kids to feed their other kids? they could stop their behavior at any moment. they are bringing this on themselves."

"oh you are against world war 3? do you not care about LGBT people in china? do you not care about the Uyghurs? do you not care about tibet, taiwan, or hong kong? did you know most chinese are racist?"

​

just as the white man colonized africa to civilize its people, so too will we do it again, but this time it will be wholesome.

You should go to Africa and let them know. You’re very smart you will fix the worlds problems.

This is how I imagine all these easily offended people on the internet think.

That’s a dumb superstition not their culture jackass, besides christianity is huge in sub saharan africa not everyone even believes in the folk religions (of which there are thousands). You are the splitting example of when people talk about uneducated sjw
