On Pacifism -Derrick Jenson
Yeah, Gandhi was an unbelievably selfish individual. My biggest reason for losing respect for him, though, was that he criticized the Jews for defending themselves against the Holocaust " he insisted that they should havecommitted public mass suicide in order to "shame" the Germans instead of fighting back.
... In order to shame the Germans? W*F? The Germans wouldn't've been shamed - they'd've been thrilled to get their way so easily!
Gandhi's exact words were: "But the Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher's knife. They should have thrown themselves into the sea from cliffs. As it is, they succumbed anyway in their millions." He also wrote an open letter to the British people in 1940 telling them to surrender to the Axis even if it meant accepting genocide: "I would like you to lay down the arms you have as being useless for saving you or humanity. You will invite Herr Hitler and Signor Mussolini to take what they want of the countries you call your possessions. Let them take possession of your beautiful island, with your many beautiful buildings. You will give all these but neither your souls, nor your minds. If these gentlemen choose to occupy your homes, you will vacate them. If they do not give you free passage out, you will allow yourself, man, woman and child, to be slaughtered, but you will refuse to owe allegiance to them."
he was also anti-black (lost all respect for him after reading how he treated sub-saharan africans).
read this. everyone needs to know gandhi's "true colors".
finally
Ghandi was a pedophile, to boot.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MY ENTIRE LIFE THANK YOU I CANNOT f**kING STAND THE WAY HE IS PORTRAYED HE WAS AN ABUSER WHO HIT HIS WIFE AND HIS DAUGHTERS ALSO (via oliveseraphim) i've reblogged this before but this version has even better commentary and sources so
also he believed women shouldn't fight off their rapists
His wife died from a treatable illness because he "didn't believe in modern medicine".
Yes and let's not forget what he did to Bhagat Singh also.
They do NOT teach you this in school
its about time folks find out who the real gandhi is. He considered Blacks slave, inferior and dirty. He actually wanted the whites in south africa to continue apartheid as he compared Blacks to animals.
I knew a fair amount of this due to being pakistani (we are kind of...not huge gandhi fans) but some of this shocked even me. (via jaythenerdkid) #f**kGANDHI Wow... This is very eye-opening. So disappointing, smdh.
yeah the reason they do not teach you this in school is DELIBERATE. gandhi was ultimately an ally of the british and basically all oppressors everywhere, and an oppressor himself. he was born into high caste and spent his entire life benefitting off the backs of his own people. and f**king postcolonial india is still obsessed with him, GREATLY because of the mark the british left on academic curriculum and the overall culture. they taught you to love gandhi because they wanted you to love your oppressor.
