No he is making a valid point that about judging the past by present standards. It is the same as judging other cultures by your own - which you copiously do, e.g. saying US prison slavery is ok because it’s “legal” but Saudi labour laws are “slavery” for whatever reasons, and then you go on to make bizarre assertions clearly culled from Far Right sources (= mainstream for the USA), that Muslims are displacing the British (you cannot comprehend that a Muslim could be British, or that barbers and taxidrivers can barely pay their household bills) > [@We watch the collapse of late stage capitalism in real time](https://www.ilovephilosophy.com/t/we-watch-the-collapse-of-late-stage-capitalism-in-real-time/83753/2351): > > Demographic replacement is real. By 2055 it is predicted that British people will be a minority in their own country. > > Guess what happens then. and no, wait, you’ve seen the movie “Taken” and now you’re insisting Muslims are selling Sex Slaves to the British elite. This from a Marxist. Oh wait, it’s an AMERICAN Marxist. Explains a lot. In America, you treat values like a fast food restaurant menu. A bit of this, a bit of that, Easy on the other. Hold that. King size it pronot. You’re nutty. You are unprincipled. Oh and here’s you bemoaning that people do these pesky checks: > [@Theory: Sexual Capitalism](https://www.ilovephilosophy.com/t/theory-sexual-capitalism/84789/225): > > es, renting an apartment these days is like applying to work at the CIA. The level of background checks they do in crazy nowadays. All capital owners are paranoid about getting “sub-optimal” people in there. No tolerance for risk or normal human failings anymore, we must all be good little perfect drones with nothing problematic about us. Just wait, soon social credit will be included too and they can already see everything we do online. It’s only a matter of time before that data is also included. --- _[View the full topic](https://www.ilovephilosophy.com/t/shortlist-for-islamic-reading/81196)._
