As I said. “Analysis” only based on a theoretical framework with zero supporting facts is not analysis, it’s dogma.

Sorry but colonialism being to blame here seems like an a priori assumption with you and not anything that you’ve actually factually established.

I certainly don’t have a problem with the idea of colonialism or other parts of history having very long lasting and diverse effects but it’s just not the case that we can say it is the root cause of any given issue absent of any real evidence for such a claim.

No doubt it and many other historical events will affect many things later on but it’s still not really a reasonable position to assume that has to be it even with lots of evidence that makes it seem unlikely in a particular case. Colonialism did not introduce anti-homosexual attitudes to the African continent. Islam, which arrived before the western colonialists also has them but wasn’t the first appearance of that there either.

Even assuming that this has anything directly to do with religion which is already a big leap it is a Muslim majority country that had no laws against homosexuality prior to or right after independence from France… Sorry but this sounds like a pretty difficult one to pin on western colonialism.

not really a solution when most of the news media engages in it and it’s not abour reliability per se, just about ambigous titles designed to make people click.

not a great rule considering how much clickbait even reputable news outlets engage in these days… can see it a bit even in this one…

doesn’t really make that much sense to look at the registered user total because most of them have already moved on but sure, it’s like 2.5% if you compare to the 5 million that have been active within the last month.

Might be mostly referring to USA in which case the proper response would be “FU” but if it isn’t maybe those allies should be more focused on pressuring USA & Israel to end their special military operation instead.
