Reposted by @poliakoff.bsky.socialNathan Goldwag @goldwagnathan.bsky.social · 06/10/2026The history of early 19th century Egypt is pretty wild, and I think gets overshadowed by the eventual British takeover. Not only are they doing their own parallel colonization campaigns in East Africa and Sudan, they also make a pretty credible play at just overthrowing the Ottomans entirely. 713616
poliakoff.bsky.social @poliakoff.bsky.social · 07/10/2026If modern society is to survive, institutions, elites, media companies and neighbors of people peddling this idiocy and dishonesty have to start rejecting it outright - mocking, laughing and embarrassing them again. “No, not all opinions are valid.
