Comment on I'm not sure they will

  To understand the ideas present in this meme, you must understand a basic level of anthropology, (not a huge ask, but an ask) the concept of ‘the orient,’ (much bigger ask) critique of that concept, (less rare knowledge but often found only through right-wing criticism of the critique) ‘decolonization,’ (same again) and liberalism. (Same again.) If I fail to understand university level academic discourse on a field I don’t work in, this is utter gibberish. This does not teach anyone who is not already somewhat familiar with the discourse anything. It might as well be in a foreign language to most readers, and, again, oversimplifies the ideas which are being obliquely mentioned.
