Pakistan too, scumbag military. And people suspect, rightfully so that a lot of that got allocated to isntrael to be used in Gaza.

Edit, sorry I see it mentions Pakistan clearly.

True, they upgraded Ukrainians for a bit and downgraded Russians to Mongols. It's like bond ratings for races lol.

I have watched taimur rehman stuff before. In fact when I stopped listening to him was when he said the recent coup had no US involvement on Luna Oi's show and then the leaked memos came out that they did. He is a bhutto fan boy and that family sucks. So do the Sharifs, Zardaris, other elites and the military. Feudalist are not socialists, sorry not sorry bhutto family.

Is religion a particularly strong factor there? Yes, not the only one. Religious parties never win in elections there though and even trump pretended to read the Bible to kiss evangelical ass here. That's just how it goes.

Did Imran Khan use religious principles to garner support for social welfare programs and speak up for the oppressed? Sure did, it's a country full of Muslims after all. Did he give Sikhs access to their holy sites in a gesture of tolerance? Yep.

Did he win an election free and fair despite being pushtoon, a minority in Pakistan? Yep, and he is even further in the polls now despite tens of thousands of political arrests and military crackdowns. He even wins in Punjab province. People will put aside their differences there for a leader of good conscience, efficacy aside (even his fans admit he made mistakes, but he is a decent person).

Is Urdu a national language there? Yes, so is English actually. It has more English speakers than England even.

While I am not disagreeing with you 100%, I don't want to condemn pakistanis as too religious/ culturally bias to have better lives. It would take more than a few families and the military stripped of their wealth and power there but it would be a great start.

Edit: I also wanted to make it clear that I am glad we are having this discussion as we both clearly care about the country. No animosity on my part.

Bangladesh got separated because bhutto and his generals were power hungry, greedy pieces of shit. It had nothing to do with religion or culture. If they had just respected the elections, all that bloodshed could have been avoided. I am not saying religion isn't a factor but let's stop acting like little bill mahers here.

Edit: the bhutto family is still fucking up Pakistani politics and development with their greed.

To add: Those compradors ousting Imran Khan in the coup had nothing at all to do with religion and culture. All the elites saw the social welfare programs and corruption being curtailed (even 1%) and they got antsy and helped America do a coup.

Oh yeah, Muslim and other nations primarily were gravitating towards left wing socialism post independence but the west and their puppets made sure there was a reactionary tilt. But let's not give colonization and compradors a bail out by blaming only religion. The Pakistan army and elites don't have a religion problem, they have a greed problem.

Pakistan can't due to its elite (mainly its military being a complete puppet of the west and looting the country along with their civilian facade). Of course fundamentalism plays some part as the military utilizes it to a great extent, but a lot of it has to do with the country's resources being looted and its money stored in offshore accounts.

I can't speak for India or Bangladesh. I will say that the caste system is a detriment to development and that is definitely a form religious fundamentalism.

It's because the west said a few nice things about them. Colonization really wreaked havoc on a lot of brains, not just in India.

I have some devastating news for the hindutva fascists (not Indians in general): you will never be white or part of the west. Union carbide will dump chemicals on your land, Cargill will sell your farmers one time seed, metro PCS will make racist ass commercials about your accent. The only reason they are pumping you up is so you go fight china for them. You are part of the global south, embrace it. You are one of us.

Gonna repeat British propaganda with punk and other music over it to look like a rebel. Tony Blair with punk aesthetics.

Liberal human rights and western values language was never going to be a means of freedom for the global south. It's just for western academics, pundits, and their comprador counterparts to have a career. It has to be ditched.

I don't know how accurate Sardar Udham is (I hope it is), but it's an incredible movie.

As a consolation prize they will get some ivy league expat that hasn't seen Ukraine in decades to be charge of the IMF programs there, you know, just for a local touch.

The comprador class is so dangerous. What did the average Ukrainian get out of this except for misery? It's sad af.

The most dangerous weapon on earth, friendship with America.

"It's all for you Damien (America), it's all for you"

Also, using them to subdue people they consider even lesser.
