the following woke comment is a simple decolonizing action that
we should repeat more often:

most other people in the world are not tall. Especially Indians.

This Eurocentric bias appears frequently, therefore needs to be
challenged every time we come across it:

should be 163 cm (5 ft 4.3 in) and the average height of a man
176.5 cm (5 ft 9.5 in).

"Then we have university to continue destroying the psyche of
young people. The brain keeps developing until the mid-20s, and
probably by no coincidence, that is how long it would take
someone to get a PhD if they went to university straight after
high school."
Thankfully I moved out as soon as I graduated high school (at
the age of 18). Never going back again.
"Westerners have perfectly honed things so young people's entire
brain development cycles are riddled with nothing but stress and
violence."
And we wonder why we have so many losers and are in increasingly
depressed and drugged world. Yet Transhumanists like Zoltan
Istvan (Gentile) advocate extending education to
college/university. Alhamdulillah, it seems like that is
thankfully only a minority, since almost everyone (apart from a
small group of false leftists) doesn't take that seriously, let
alone extending it.
How do we advocate people running away from their families, let
alone make it mainstream?

Make a small non-profit community which goal is to have a rest
place for oppressed young and child. It needs farms and healthy
sanitations on the first stage, so when we are got boycott from
the people or groups who dislike us, we still can eat and drink.
And use ethical law based on Sharia and Schopenhauerism to make
a good empathic ethical rule. When a hopeless people escape from
oppressive community, try to help them to find our base. Make
power and movement from that early work.

Neither of these is the correct answer.

Black, Hispanic and Native American students, by 2032. “A whole

From an equity perspective, it’s almost untenable.”

We should be trying to end these career fields altogether (True
Leftism), not make them more inclusive (False Leftism)! These
career fields should never have existed in the first place! Yes,
leaving STEM "white"-dominated is extremely dangerous to
everyone else, but the correct way to end "white" domination of
STEM is to phase out STEM completely, not to keep violently
pushing "non-whites" into STEM whether they like it or not in
order to perpetually compete with "whites" in STEM.

The part in bold is the True Left solution. Of course False

Self-Reflection, and Correct way for the muslims on seeing
Western Civilization
--- Quote ---
> Now, everyone must realize that this is an acute problem that
is endemic in the Muslim intellectual world. This attitude of
adoption without adaptation is shown by Thaha Husain, an expert
on Arabic literature from Egypt (1889-1976). In his book,
Mustaqbal ats-Tsaqafah fi Mishr, he says, "We must imitate the
Europeans in order to be equal to them in civilization; whether
it is good or bad, sweet or bitter, and what is liked or what is
hated from them." No less extreme than Thaha Husain's statement,
is what Abdullah Cevdet, a leader of the Young Turks Movement,
has emphasized, "There is only one civilization, and that is
European civilization. Therefore, we must borrow Western
Civilization, both its roses and its thorns. at a time."
>
> Applicatively, such statements have actually animates Muslim
students who study in the West equally. Without saying such
extreme words, they now seem to be very fond of picking up
Western scientific discourses, concepts, and methodologies, to
then apply them in dissecting the concepts, teachings, and
understandings that exist in Islam, by using the Western
perspective (framework).
>
> This irony actually departs from an attitude of exaggerated
awe towards the West, giving rise to feelings of inferiority and
blunting of critical power towards the West. So it is not
surprising, if they are generally of the view that the West is
superior to Islam in many ways, including in the field of
religion. From here, they then adopted Western sciences,
concepts and methodologies as well as their point of view, so
that they did not leave room for the Islamic point of view to
participate in making selections, comments and criticisms in
their study methodology. Ultimately, West would go on to win,
from the first round all the way to the end.

Result from Muslims's Ignorance
--- Quote ---
> So just like in the economic and political fields, the
Judeo-Christian West is actually also very interested in getting
its claws in the field of religion. Thomas Stamford Raffles in
his famous book, The History of Java, wrote very clearly about
efforts to spread and hegemony of religion. He said: "The Dutch
had a goal, as the main policy, to spread Christianity in the
eastern archipelago. The Portuguese had succeeded in carrying
out the same goal before..." (Thomas Stamford Raffles, The
History of Java, p. 143).

colonialists in launching this program of thought and religious
destruction can also be proven through the recognition of Alb C.
Kruyt (a figure of the Nederlands bijbelgenootschap) and OJH
Graaf van Limburg Stirum, as quoted by Dr. Aqib Suminto follows:
Christianization was an important factor in the colonization
process and Christian zending was an ally for the colonial
government, so that the government would help face any obstacles
that hindered the expansion of zending.
>
> While the prominent missionary program is changing the minds
of Muslims. This strategy has long been proclaimed by Samuel
Zwemmer, an Orientalist who serves as director of missionary
organizations and who is also the founder of The Muslim World
journal. In 1935 at the Christian Missionary Conference in the
City of Jerusalem, Zwemmer said that:
>
> [i]Our main mission as Christians is not to destroy Muslims,
but to make a Muslim being apostate from Islam, so that he
becomes an immoral Muslim. This will open the door for
imperialist victory in Islamic countries. Your goal is to create
a new generation that is far from Islam. Generations of Muslims
who conform to the will of the colonialists, generations who are
lazy and only pursue the satisfaction of their desires.
>
> Within the chain of Western culture, the mission movement has
two tasks: [color=red][b]destroying the opposing civilization
(Islam) and rebuilding it in the form of Western civilization.
This needs to be done so that Muslims can stand in the ranks of
Western culture, in the end a generation of Muslims who are
hostile to their own religion emerge.

Correct way to see Western Civilization part 2

> So far, the Democratic System has only produced world
dictators, and produced big-class corruptors, and even created
greedy and greedy international capitalists. The democratic
system is a source of problems that has spawned many mobs of
mafiosos and generations of opportunists, as well as a place
where the dogs of the sycophants of power reside. This is
because the democratic system is the entry point for the
capitalists to gain power.
>
> One man one vote in a democratic system has provided an
opportunity for the bourgeoisie to buy people's votes, so that
when they are in power they compete to make wealth to return the
capital to buy votes, as well as earn the maximum profit.
Democratic system is a source of havoc and destruction.
>
> The democratic system is full of intrigue and deception,
because this system is always masked by humanity, equality,
justice, deliberation and consensus. In fact, this system is the
most inhumane, just look at how the allied countries in the name
of democracy have ravaged Iraq and Afghanistan. In fact, this
system at least respects equality, the proof is that people of
color are still second-class citizens in Western countries that
adhere to democracy. Precisely this system is the most unfair,
the proof is that they blatantly prohibit Muslim women in their
country from wearing the headscarf.
>
> ...
>
> in the Islamic system the standard of truth is common sense
which is based on Shari'a, while in a democratic system the
standard of truth is pain which is based on the desires of the
majority group. Therefore, in the Islamic System, the good and
bad of something is determined by the Shari'a, and must be
accepted by common sense. While in a democratic system, whether
something is good or bad depends on the desires of the people,
even though it is not in accordance with the Shari'a or does not
make sense.

> in the Islamic System, the voice of the Ulama is not the same
as the voice of the Layman, between the voice of the Sholeh and
the voice of the bad person. While in a Democratic System
everyone's voice is the same: Clerics and Corruptors, Teachers
and Prostitutes, Santri and Criminals, Warriors and Losers,
Heroes and Bastards, there is no difference in the value of
their votes. Therefore, in the Islamic System, only good people
are asked for their opinions and their voices are assessed, and
even then their voices are still referred to as human voices.
While in a Democratic System all good and bad people are
equated, even their voices are all referred to as the voice of
God.

This is not the correct argument against democracy, because it
assumes majority rule is good, and then only argues that
democracy is bad because it does not truly produce majority rule
but instead leads to minority (capitalist) rule. Thus it only
motivates democrats to build a system of democracy that is
immune to capitalist manipulation. The only correct way to argue
against democracy is to argue that majority rule itself is bad
and minority rule is what we want. (But the minority we prefer
to rule is of course not the capitalist minority.)

I'm already added the arguments from that book which I'm shown
to this forum. Before your correction, I think criticizing
democracy because its vulnerability to the capitalism, racism,
and westernization is enough to showing the fatal flaws of
democracy. Because I also try to give short important arguments
too which hopefully easily usable by the members while on debate
and doing their political activity
