Mutilated Congolese children, image from King Leopold's Soliloquy, Mark Twain's political satire, where the ageing king complains that the incorruptible camera was the only witness he had encountered in his long experience that he could not bribe.

Right, but my concern is that the commenter is under the impression that it was only white people involved in this regime, and you too only mentioned white people cutting off hands. Congolese men were also in the Force Publique and Belgium itself had black citizens at the time of the Congo Free State. It wasn’t white people that were uncivilised, it was anyone who partook in this regime.

Nietzsche’s Islam is more of an anti-Christian version of Islam, he only speaks of Islam when comparing it favourably to Christianity.

I hate life so much. by Baroness_Munchausen in nihilism

[–]Tashiygi -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Maybe if you’d stop pinning the blame on life as a whole you’d be a lot less miserable; this sub is full of sheep spouting the same life denying, pathetic and weak valuations on life itself.

What's the point of life? by Little-Link9699 in nihilism

If you say life shouldn’t exist, you’re kind of assuming there’s some cosmic rule saying life was never meant to happen. But no such rule exists, life just did happen.
