“Only Backward Minority of Earth
(Naskaristana 2543)
Eurocentrism is the biggest fraud in education,
eurocentrism is the antithesis of education.
The only minority that has historically caused
irreparable damage to the world are the white people,
yet you confuse every little mediocre literature
from such backward population as default knowledge -
and by act of conscience if a braveheart white defies
the status quo, you declare them as woke infected.
First sign of an educated mind -
you don't start a conversation
on philosophy mentioning greeks,
you don't start a conversation
on poetry mentioning the english.
White people discovered nothing but other people's land,
other people's science, other people's philosophy -
Europe is the real footnote in the history of knowledge,
till you understand what this means in your bones,
your philosophy is just as fictional as your theology.”
― Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

“Access to essentials must be the first commandment of every single field and discipline, when it's the last instead, and an expendable one at that, every single field and discipline, along with its proud practitioners and proponents, are war criminals.”
