So you’re just going to gloss over the fact that it wasn’t until the 20th century that they got to vote?
Yeah, like I gloss over the fact that the 20th century was not 200 years ago, genius.
Also you completely ignore the context of their literacy
Because it's irrelevant to the point.
. I stand by my remark. You’re an ignorant hack who’s only interested in pushing your narrow minded agenda the serves to protect the social hierarchies that benefit you to the detriment of others. Ignorant, self-entitled pricks like you are one of the biggest problems we have in politics today.
And I stand by my belief that you are an extremist without any respect for basic human freedoms and dignity, and that views like yours lead inexorably to the Killing Fields 'the cultural revolution' or the gulags of Soviet Russia. You don't think you know what's best for the world, you KNOW it, and thus comfortably classify all who dissent as the dangerous and evil enemy of the people.
