Zohran Mamdani hasn't even been sworn in to Mayor of NY, and already the Subway is using Arabic numerals on the Subway. SHOCKING.

They put Arabic numerals on the subway trains. Welcome to Zohran Mamdani’s America, everyone

I don't know arabic but that looks like a number 6 train to me. What am I missing here, the color?

What a fckd up post.

Are you an Arab supremacist?

Mamdani is not even Arab (his mom said he is a "total Desi")

He is Muslim though.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

The intelligent, thoughtful and educated Arabs that gave us those numerals are extinct. They were slaughtered out of existence by savage, uncivilized, Bedouin. The same as we have today.

Yeah, you are missing something. But I'm not telling you. Figure it out, it isn't difficult.

I salute you.

pass, don't have the time and effort for something that I don't care about in NYC

why so obtuse? just spit it out

I am sure first on his agenda, let's put arabic on all the trains in town

next day? transit authority might rebel, this could takes months if at all

Then you don't have the time or the effort. You can wait until someone comes on here and points out the obvious, or not.

It’s a joke

All the numerals we use are Arabic in origin

I'll point out something obvious, seeing as how you have a problem dealing with reality: Even today's Muslims are living in the 7th century. Someone who still thinks it's the middle ages isn't going to have much if anything to contribute to the 21st century.

well excuse me for not learning this in school, they don't exactly teach this

At no point did any teacher say, class numbers are from muslims

Far as I knew they were greek

Arabic doesn’t automatically mean Muslim

Arabic is a language

Christian Arabs in Lebanon speak Arabic. When they refer to God they use the word Allah because that is the Arabic word for God.

You never learned to use the internet?

You didn't learn that you can go on Bing, on Yahoo, on Google and type in "arabic numerals" and see what pops up?

If you can't, I can't help you.

lol, yes I learned the internet, I have been building computers for 26 years and on forums way longer than you have

I don't search for muslim shit like you do apparently and no it never crossed my mind to even search

at no point in time did any teacher in grade good tell the class, kids, your numbers originate from arabic

100% of the kids in my class would have said......what is arabic

I did not go to school in dearborn.......

My school was 98% white

BTW you are off by few if you bothered to ask gemini......

the concept of the numbers (place value and zero) originated in India (which is why they are formally called Hindu-Arabic), they were transmitted and popularized throughout the world by Arab scholars and traders.

I'm sorry you can't figure it out and you need to be told how to think.

WTF you talking about? you seem to like to talk down to people online

I never bothered to learn where numbers are from or taught in school.....not a hard concept

nobody tells me how to think and certainly not you

but as I pointed out it's NOT arabic, it was created in India and transported around the globe

so this whole story about mamdani putting arabic numbers on a train is FALSE

It's Indian.....they just used it like many other cultures

Do I like to talk down to people? Not particularly.

However I do think that people should be able to think for themselves. So many people come on here and are completely incapable of understand what they're talking about.
People come on here and say "oh, that person is a Communist, boo..." And I ask "What is a Communist?" or "What is Communism?" Do you know how many people are capable of actually responding back with an answer that is even close? None. Not one person is able to go look on the internet and try and understand what's written on Wikipedia.

The last dude who tried to answer basically said Communism was a dictatorship

Post in thread 'Writer: 'The Fall of New York City in 8 Charts''

Are they Communist? Do you know what Communism is, to say these are Communist countries?

Plenty of capitalist countries are horror stories. Ever been to Zimbabwe? Mozambique?

All three are dictatorships:

Venezuela = Radical Socialist / (Communist leaning)

Cuba = officially communist.

North Korea = officially communist.
__

You speak of 2 African countries?
Have you ever been in Somalia ? Where the first ISLAMO SOCIALIST appeared by Siad Barre massacring "only" 200,000 Isaaq (Isaaq genocide), where Ilhan Omar's father was general..

Quiz:

How many did Communist Mao...

• Sayaras

• 

"All three are dictatorships:

Venezuela = Radical Socialist / (Communist leaning)

Cuba = officially communist.

North Korea = officially communist."

That was the response to "Are they Communist? Do you know what Communism is, to say these are Communist countries?"

And the biggest problem is, this is endemic within our society. People don't know what they're talking about. They read what's on social media, they read what's in the media, they listen to people talking on youtube and Tiktok and they lap it up. They're not learning. They're being manipulated.

And you've taken something super simple and said "I'm not doing any research, you need to tell me how to think"

Now, if you think me believing that people should do their own research, people should make their own opinions, is me looking down on people, then fine. Why do I care if that's what you think.

But you see how hard it is. You can try and get people to think for themselves, but they won't. They don't want to. Not even people who come on political forums.

But they get to vote, and that is becoming dangerous now. Will "democracy" survive the age of social media? I doubt it.

 

[Michael1985]

I just heard about Mamdani compelling people to use Arabic numerals in schools. I already know what those are.

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

I'm sure someone on social media was just making a joke, and a whole bunch of idiots tore things way out of context.

Just heard the joke:

"Muslims have contributed zero to society"
