There are no reports of Ibn Taymiyyah or any of these medieval scholars saying they are overrun with vermin because of trash being thrown in rivers.

When we are shown the life of the Abbasids we are shown clean, fresh rivers that people consume water from, crystal clean palaces.

When you see reports of medieval London or Paris the issue of rotting garbage being thrown everywhere is a major calamity.

Even the Black Plague was not caused by dumped trash in the streets.

It's the same today as well. Modern trash disposal systems simply don't exist in many Muslim, African and Latin American countries and yet you don't see the people from those lands complain about being overrun with vermin on the streets and disease. In countries like Bolivia, India, Syria, Pakistan and Nigeria people simply throw rubbish and trash in piles on the street and it's left to rot away. Yet you do not see those people complaining of rats, mice and cockroaches in their homes. But one missed waste collection in New York, Toronto or London and it's a public health crisis.

Confirmation bias. The nobles reading the works of Ibn Taymiyyah didn't want to hear about commoners casting shit out into the streets. It was only during the renaissance in Europe that there was more literacy and middle classes who lived alongside commoners took interest in their squalor and wrote about it profusely.

Britannia is responsible for the poor state of the Ganges.

Rodents aren't drawn to any old garbage anon, it's our food waste they're after. If you live in a third world country you probably don't have a lot of food waste because you can't afford to waste any food. Not to mention it's harder for rodents to hide in your house when you live in a one room shack with no wall cavities.

Well wouldn't Europe have to store large amounts of food more than the rest of the world since it's a civilized society that had winters?
I bet there were also a huge problem for northern China too

I don't understand this photo at all...why are chairs and tables perfectly still standing on water?

Indeed. Europe is a stinking shithole filled with garbage and shit flowing down the street. Everyone should stay as far away from it as possible.

Yes. Both New Worlders and brown people and Russians and Chinese need to stay away from us. You really don't want to come here and get plague with meningitis at the arrival

Britannia is also responsible for your shitting-up this previously white board.
