#Imagine accusing the only muslim/brown character in the book of being misogynistic while also keeping silent about LOVELL and even Robin

I try not to hate on Babel critics but God they make it hard…

The more I read “ur dur colonialism is bad we get it” critics about Babel, the more I think people overestimate their own media literacy. I mean, come on, ffs: what is the name of the book? “The Necessity of Violence”, right??

So is Kuang proving to you colonialism is bad in her book or is she arguing all the reasons why there is a necessity for violence in resistance against colonialism?

It’s NOT about colonialism being bad — that is NOT what’s in question here, any other notion is not even entertained. It’s about why you should “bite the hand that ‘feeds’ you” ffs, it’s why you should be violent.
