The middle east was extremely peaceful and stable before colonialism.

...continue.

Does the Ottoman empire not count as colonialism?

What a stupid picture. Ebert was part of the revolution and Liebknecht wasn't even a Jew.

clara zetkin was not jewish
her father was a devout protestant and her mother had french roots

It's been debunked numerous times. There is even a picture out there explained how much bullshit /pol/ was guilty of with that one.

You're completely delusional.

Pure coincidence

Can someone post the debunked photo?

It was peaceful and stable due to Ottoman imperialism, you just consider it inherently different to European imperialism (also ultimately a good thing) because you have difficulty thinking properly.

So the middle east was stable before 1948.

even better was the short period of post-colonial middle east BEFORE American intervention and fueling proxy wars for oil money

Afghanistan and Iran were just as liberal if not more than Europe in the 60s.

>HURR DURR A FEW PHOTOS OF RICH PEOPLE IN URBAN CENTRES IS PROOF THAT THE MIDDLE EAST WAS SECULAR AND MODERN AND LIBERAL BEFORE EVIL AMERIKKKANS SHOWED UP

What could have been

Under an autocratic empire

Actually it's more than just photos Fred, there is a tonne of information on it.

WISH WE COULD TURN BACK TIME

My fav response is "debunked multiple times" and then dont debunk it

Well, i don't have the pic, but the gist of it is that the people in the pic are from the spartacist uprising (a minor uprise during the revolution), not the leaders of the german revolution, that the german revolution started within the german army, that zetkin is not jewish, and that the pic cherrypicks among spartacists. It is also usually accompanied by people crying about muh judeo bolshevik conspiracy, but the leaders of the spartacist uprising were anti bolsheviks.

Got it. It is still in the archive. Make sure to save it.

Derp.

Dirt farmers in the countryside were more fundamentalist, sure, but they were irrelevant before they were given guns en masse.

But it was stable and had a base to evolve to something more.

60s hairstyles like that were horrible though.

Once you learn ancient history you really start appreciate the real mindfuck of the middle east. The cradle of civilization for thosands of years deteriorates into savagery. The post apocalyptic remnants of past greatness.
