blowfish posted:cite ur sources That she alleviated people's suffering is undeniable. Some knee-jerkers (became famous) by championing the facts that was a conservative Catholic who accepted money from kleptocrats, and also that her hospices weren't up to Western standards. That's pretty much it. Also it's kinda funny how Hitchen's got all the research for his Mother Teresa book for free because a publisher though the original writer wasn't famous enough to sell books, and it ended up making only Hitchens even more famous

Another funny thing about the hospice is that Hitchens was outraged over people being quote-unquote forced to take shits in squat toilets in plain sight of other people, even though that was entirely common among lower caste Indians back then, and still is to a large extent. Just another instance of the Civilized man sneering at the savages
