So, since we've been discussing crazy-nuts trad insanity on internet forums lately, this thread filled with blatant racism (of admittedly troubling provenance) was pointed out to me by a reader. Just...disgusting. There are no words.
What words would you have if you have if you woke up in the Western world before 1960 and found this to be mild stuff? What words would you have if you woke up anywhere outside the Western world today and found this to be laughably milquetoast? Do you imagine that "anti-racism" and universalism are an eternal truth? Don't most ideologies come from somewhere? Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates talked about the "barbarians" quite a bit. Morons?
You are welcome to disagree with me and with each other. Civil debate is a valuable way to test and exchange ideas. Do keep it civil, though. Any really offensive craziness will either be held up as an example of What We Don't Stand For, or deleted.
Thank you for this call out. It makes me feel better. ~ Tabouli
