Our treatment of minorities should definitely be better but we have never claimed to be custodians of liberty, fraternity, egalité, nor have we bombed poorer countries thousands of miles away in claims of protecting it nor have we called others uncivilized and colonized them. https://twitter.com/__mateen/status/1322796729574580225
We are a 70 odd year old country that came out of clutches of a hubdred year old colonization and struggling against a neocolonial order that does not let us escape debt traps and war traps. We have not yet stood on our feet but are still trying.
Meanwhile, those nations
Are hundreds of years old, have never been colonized and have built their palaces on top of skulls of hundreds of thousands of people have been feuled by blood of innocent and the weak who died to enrich them for many many years. We are not the same.
Our whole history, our whole society and its institutions were erased. In 47 we started from scratch, not even from zero we started from negative with the burden of imperial colonial systems that are designed to keep poor opressed and make rich richer. We dont even see who we are
So please. There is no equivalence. We must must treat our minorities better. We must treat our poor better. We must free our oppressed. To do that, we must understand our history and our problems and their context. It is not a fucking joke.
