Hindus and buddhists carried out massacres on muslim populations and are actively doing it, their hostility comes purely from their ethno-nationalist islamophobic environment, rather than a reasonable critique of abrahamic religions

hotd season 4 pacing
The remaining events of the Dance of the Dragons to be covered in #HOTD Season 4 (SPOILERS ⚠️)
• Fall of Dragonstone
• Battle Above the Gods Eye
• Storming of the Dragonpit
• Second Tumbleton
• Rhaenyra's Death
• Moon of the Three Kings
• Battle of the Kingsroad
• Aegon II's Death
• Hour of the Wolf
• Regency of Aegon III
There are obviously too many events on this list to fit into an eight-episode season, so some will almost certainly be merged or condensed.
I think I'll do another post breaking down which events I believe will be merged, which might be cut entirely, and which will receive greater focus, much like the Gullet, the Fall of KL, and First Tumbleton did in Season 3.

apparently, Possible Love got multiple nominations at the Blue Dragon Film Awards (one of Korea's biggest film award ceremonies) but was left out of Best Picture and Best Director at Lee Chang-dong request. he's boycotting it because the awards are organized and backed by a major conservative newspaper. as if i needed another reason to love him more.

So why were UK taxpayers still compensating enslavers up until 2015?
Slavery was abhorrent. Fact.
But to issue a formal apology today is dangerous virtue-signalling that could expose Britain to reparations costing us millions or even billions of pounds. This is very much how the Chagos disaster started under the Tories.
There is no good reason why people living in 21st Britain should pay for the wrongdoings of centuries ago.
And let’s also not forget the role that Britain played in ending slavery- often overlooked in our schools, museums and by the BBC.
And then there are the clear benefits of the British Empire. Investment, infrastructure, legal systems, education, healthcare- there was also much that was good. I write a lot about this in my best-selling book, ‘Patriot: Empire, betrayal and hope’.
Let’s teach history in a balanced and truthful way; not through the lens of political ideology.
And Burnham should stand up for 21st century Brits, not pay for the wrongs of 18th century slave-traders.

They are still men. They slutshame women and are as misogynistic as the straight ones.
