the article doesn’t say what you say it says

I quoted from it, did I not?

@real opinion

Throughout medieval and modern history, the Indian subcontinent has been on the radar of various European settlers and traders, including, from the 15th to 17th centuries, the Portuguese, Dutch and French. The subcontinent was invaded and partly ruled by the Mughals in the 16th century, and colonised by the British from the 17th century onwards until independence in 1947. All these foreign “visitors” were of relatively fair complexion, and many claimed to be superior.

@fake opinion

Before Europeans invented slavery and took over the world everywhere else was basically a paradise.

The quote definitely says what it says, although you’re correct what I wrote isn’t an exact quote.

It’s the kind of bullshit-snowball-surrounding-one-tiny-grain-of-hypothetically-possibly-maybe-sort-of-but-not-really hyperbole that fake news websites are known for. I’m calling it. The author did not say what you say he said.
