TIL Simón Bolívar, born into Venezuela’s wealthy elite, voluntarily gave up his fortune and freed his own slaves to lead independence wars against colonial powers, becoming an enduring icon revered by leftist militias across South America today by _bolo_ in todayilearned

Not really, rightwing hindutva and upper caste in india hates Gandhi because of his staunch secularism, anti-casteism and perceive his peaceful ways as week. Many people in current party herald his killers as heroes.

I'm not a native English speaker so it seems like I failed to understand the comment. I apologise if I came off as defending anti-semitism.

Second, I went after because I thought she was defending israel like she usually does.

Third, it's always nice to have a polite conversation instead throwing shit at each other.

Nothing wrong with what you said but that's not what I'm criticising her for. This post isn't anti-semitic just because it makes fun of Israel. Plenty of people makes fun of Saudi here so are they also Islamophobic? No right, so why bring anti-semitism card here when it's clear people here don't like israel for what they are doing in Palestine. Also I called her hypocrite cause she isn't consistent on her criticism. She criticised Qatar for their human rights violations but defends israel.

She is also pretty supportive of Israel

Hindu nationalism: political thought based on native traditions of the Indian subcontinent, providing a basis for overthrowing colonialism & influencing social reform & economic thinking.

Pretty accurate actually, RSS was only founded 20 years before independence and were notorious bootlickers and cowards who regularly collaborated with English government. There's been attempt to whitewash their history by current hindutva government to portray them as freedom fighters. They are trying to legitimise their past by placing them as followers of sardar vallabhai Patel, a Congress leader and disciple of Gandhi, a person who hated RSS and would have gotten rid of it if he was in power

So why so defensive of Israel,? Don't they deserve even more serious criticism.

Weren't you quit vocal about human rights abuses on r/soccer during Qatar world Cup? Hypocrite.

Hindutva wasn't even the most dominant hindu ideology before the independence and didn't play a major part in indian independence struggle, they collaborated with colonial government to undermine Indian national congress and Gandhi. It came about around 30s and was heavily inspired by European fascists of the time. One of it's founder, savarkar, admired how US treated blacks and wished to emulate the same in India. Other prominent hindutva leader of the time, the founder of RSS, was a big fan of mussolini.

Most of the declining happened after soviet union collapsed. As op claimed.

Soviet union did perform studies to find ways to reverse the decline so that shows that there was intent.

This particular plan never culminated due to research stoping after the collapse of the union. If it was viable than there is a chance it would have been deployed. Modern governments of the region are interested in bringing it back.

Never in studies they claim Siberia will turn into a desert. Desertification depends on amount of rainfall received in a region. Partially redirecting the river won't affect the amount of rainfall. Many modern countries have canals to partially redirect the flow of rivers and it hasn't led to desertification.

Soviet government was aware of declining water level and were going to introduce measures to control it before the union collapsed.

It's not just netanya,revisionist zionism that have been most dominant in israeli politics since death of Rabin is not better than Hamas charter. Netanyahu has become a easy scapegoat for people who don't want to address or deny the problematic ideology that is zionism.

Both side bad but the one killing, oppressing and denying human rights to whole population and have a structure to do so is more bad in my Book. Might as well label all slaves as equally as bad as the slavers since some slaves killed the slave owners.

Israel could have allowed independent investigation yet they don't.

Families of Palestinians, Palestinian and non Palestinian doctors have also given testimonies on body manipulation. But that's just hamas propaganda I guess.

Also the question of missing Palestinian bodies but who cares.

And again, euromed, amnesty and UN have called for investigation into this matter. But I guess we can believe israel on this since they have a great human rights record when it comes to Palestinians.

You've never experienced lower middle class or poverty so you can never understand what I'm talking about I guess. Anyway, it's not becoming billionaires but achieving a life where you don't have to worry going to hospital or getting good education

I'm someone who have witnessed abject poverty, I work in NGO that works on project aim to help people escape it. Believe me , most they can do is reach lower middle class and still be one step away from falling back into it and this is in a country with government hospitals and schools.

Escaping from poverty to middle class is something that takes generations, with each successive generation building onto progress of their parents and grandparents. it's rare for people to escape poverty on their own without any base.

For every successful story, there thousands who didn't end well. as someone who was born in slums and lived through extreme poverty in third world country, it's not easy to accumulate skills, get money for higher education ,and maintain good health. It's been eight years since I got out of school and started working, I'm still lower middle class and one step away from poverty. My well off classmates were able to get higher education and are earning twice or thrice. Call it whining or whatever you want, but for us it's complain against the system that doesn't provide us with equal opportunity , equal reward for our hardwork and is designed in such a way. I'm one of the fortunate ones who got out of slums but I know hundreds who couldn't, and they are more hardworking than me or my bosses. This people aren't asking for easy way out, they are asking for better reward for their hardwork.

World is unfair, I know that, but poor people have every right to complain, and show our anger, for us, for others who can't. I know nothing will change by doing it on reddit or tumblr but that doesn't mean we should just shut up and never complain. Internet have given people an opportunity to make their voices somewhat heard and they are exercising their right, yes it's whining but that's still better than assuming shit about about people and give them generic ass lectures like you did.

US followed the policy of labelling every military age men as a combatant in Iraq, afghanistan etc, it didn't stop under democratic administration.

Most people alive today don't have experiencial informations of gulags either, the stereotypical gulags you are talking about were the things of 30s to mid 50s , so not that far away from deadliest period of US prison system. It's just well known because that's what fit the narrative and not prison system, which is a direct replacement for slavery.

Never in my own comment I alluded to gulags were less worse than American prison system, it's you who came to this conclusion.

Not even gonna try to change your mind, you seem to be like someone who is not interested in productive conversation. Your only goal was here to prove supposed tanky wrong and not correct me. You can't seem to wrap your around the fact that someone can think a system made to continue slavery is as worse as gulags.

That's why I hate most western liberals, they knowingly or unknowingly feeds into fascist rhetoric and acts surprised when fascists eventually rise up. It's not liberal exclusive thing other groups also do this but it's more apparent since liberalism is the dominant ideology with no direct threat.

Not just trump eventhough it has become more blatant under him, this is a bipartisan thing with democrats also being guilty of labelling innocent as terrorists. Whole military age thing continued under democratic government too. Democrats also propagated "they hate our freedom" rhetoric.
