Dyspeptic Codger

Of course, key to understanding the post-ww2 left-wing's unusual allyship with Islam (e.g. green party and labour) is the realization that western child education has a laser focus on negatives like transatlantic slavery and the holocaust, and does not mention a single time either Stalin's pogroms, famines, arabic slavery of Africans and castating them en masse, Greek's explusion of Islam in 1923, oppression of women, all the arabic genocides (there are literally too many to even begin), and all the other vital parts of history. I would know this because everyone born after 1945 in the UK experienced the same education, including me. It has a bias. First, it overwhelmingly focuses on teaching the negatives of european culture - purporting it as uniquely despotic, uniquely colonialistic, uniquely imperialistic, uniquely oppressive group of people; people who gassed millions in germany and stole septillions from India. Secondly, the only mentions of foreign groups of people that we get taught about amounts to how the kumbaya dance, a lion king VHS (i'm old, 'kay?), and "wakanda forever" type shit. For example, UK children get taught that europeans enslaved the world, gassed milions of jews, colonized Indians, and nuked Japan to ash. From my memory, the only classes about africans were about how they build mud huts and what zebras look like, and the only classes about Arabs were how their women (are forced to) dress. We get taught this from as early as 10 years old. I distinctly remember the gas chamber pictures being made to see in textbooks and on war museum school trips, and it being considerably traumatizing. Do we get made to see equivalent images of lines of black slaves queuing up for arab slavemasters to chop off their testicles? Nope. Even an idiot can get it that most children that get put through this education regime would eventually grow up to become an incredibly brainwashed, seething, anti-western loony. This is why I always say "post-ww2 leftism" - it is not the leftism (progressivism) that our great-grandfathers would recognize pre-1945. The right would be wise to understand this mechanism behind the left's bizarre sympathy for what is actually their apparent arch-nemisis - Islam - a far-right, ultra-conservative religious-political regime/institution. The right must understand this if it is to have any long-term succees, since victory is written by the winners, then after, written by their children.
