Why do liberals love to talk about how great the ancient arabic and african empires were? At the same time they rage against the imperialism and human rights violations of western european nations throughout history. Do they think Mali or the Ottoman Empire was some kind of liberal utopia? Or pre-European America was just perfect paradise? lol

Because they love to self-flagellate. They have a deep-rooted self-hatred and express it by diminishing the accomplishments of europeans and completely blowing out of proportion the accomplishments of non-whites.

Liberal here
>Why do liberals love to talk about how great the ancient arabic and african empires were?
Because they were fucking cool, and interesting to talk about, same as European or Asian empires.
>At the same time they rage against the imperialism and human rights violations of western european nations throughout history.
Because it was shit
>Do they think Mali or the Ottoman Empire was some kind of liberal utopia?
lol no they were fucking awful shitholes to live in.
>>330011
Yeah, it's funny.
>Look, the Americans, Africans and Asians could rape, oppress and conquer too! What do you mean uncivilized and backwards?

This, mostly.
Cultures from all over are fucking interesting.
OP's pic is from a moron. War, hereditary nobility, rape, and racism are pretty much universal. Especially for early civs. Class struggle's been almost everywhere almost always.
You want to get away from class struggle you're going to want to get away from narratives of "advancement" and start looking to anthropology and relatively (but not uniformly) egalitarian pre-state cultures. They arguably had a better quality of life than at least early states. Europe had these guys too, for what it's worth.

to be fair middle eastern civilisation, up until 17th century is quite great. their civilisation is on par with western and asian civilisation up until 16th century, then everything going down hill from there.
never get africa though, except then northern part, its literally a shithole, bunch of tribes that don't even wear clothes.

He might as well ask /sci/ why [insert bogeyman here] thinks that the earth is still flat.
What he asked does not happen other than amongst a similar class of anti-intellectual revisionists similar to himself, just of the opposite orientation.
But of course you are just another memester on his (manufactured and nonexistant in reality) team.

I don't
>At the same time they rage against the imperialism and human rights violations of western european nations throughout history.
Not really
>Do they think Mali or the Ottoman Empire was some kind of liberal utopia?
Quite the opposite, although they had nice weather
>Or pre-European America was just perfect paradise?
Far from it.
Why do you believe in fairy tales OP?
>the mongols will never impose their way on life of you
This is the Greeks fault
