Slavery Has Returned to Africa. So what now, leftists? Oh, you want to rush in and liberate those Africans? Establish western values among the people? Hmm, I dunno. Sounds like something a filthy colonizer would do.

So what are we to do about homophobia in Africa? Intervene? Or be isolationists who let people suffer for no reason. What's your solution?

So, bullying then. What a gem you are. Whites lecturing blacks on correct moral behavior, after raiding their villages, putting them in chains, loading them into lethal slave ships and selling them into slavery. You're going to tell them what to do.

Hey racist: Take a long walk off a short pier - preferably while wearing a backpack of lead weights.

What do you mean by "intervene"? Economic/diplomatic/legal?

It seems the core of your moral agonising is whether the nature of the "intervention" takes away the "agency" of the other; it's not clear to me that diplomatic efforts do this.

I think we both agree that persecuted LGBT refugees have a right to asylum.
