    It’s amazing how many “marxists” immediately turn into reddit science bros when they encounter the slightest notion that goes against their “sense of disgust” (which btw they have zero introspection about). It’s amazing, cuz an actually existing socialist state like China largely takes this “cultural relativism” approach when dealing with other nations (even with minority ethnic groups within China, so long as they don’t threaten the state by being used by western states as puppets). I mean that approach has more or less been the approach taken by civilizations that lasted centuries (i.e. the Roman Empire, Persian Empire, Abassid Caliphate, Ottoman Empire, Tang China and other dynasties, various Mongol Empires, etc.).

    Sincerely; i’m an anthropologist and marrying your cousin is weird in our cultural moment but has been entirely normal in many places in the past and doesn’t cause your babies to be born with tentacles and fangs.

    Also you’re an expert in this, but their only response is “YEAH BUT SCIENCE SAYS ITS BAD!! rage-cry” even though you literally stated that this is your expertise.

    Pretty much number 923432432432 in the evidence pile that hexbear is just a bunch of whiny western leftists that are actually guided by their own personal idealistic sense of morals and project that into a “material” analysis… for fucks sake smh… At this point they might as well just say CW (Islamophobia):

    “Those fucking m^zzies and their love of cousin f*cking, those sand n-words are basically savages. I only “critically support” but if I was in charge I would immediately gulag them!.”
