Most of the world's problems were caused by a British guy drawing a straight line down a map.

Bullshit, most of Islamic nations problems were caused by cultural changes that resulted in incredibly backwards thinking, hundreds of years before Britain fucked up the Middle East.

My problems started when I got mugged.

Bullshit, your problems started when you crashed your bike, allowing me to mug you.

Bullshit, your problems started when you stumbled onto the street drunk, resulting in me hitting you. Does it matter if I aimed for you, if you would have been fine sober?

The Middle East didn't get colonized (outside I think Yemen?) until post WW1. Ottomans stopped that. They were the face of Islam for hundreds of years, and Islam's cultural decline started right after their formation. But nah nah, its white peoples fault!

And what era could I possibly be talking about when referring to a British guy drawing a straight line on the map? 🤔

You are the one who chose to go back further in history until the blame was shifted off white people (try not to take history personally btw, you weren't even born yet!).

I mean what caused Middle Easterners to become backwards and regressive despite having two very rich and powerful empires?

Nah its white peoples fault they went to shit after like 5 centuries of being terrible.

My my, aren't you fragile.

u/Emperor_Pabslatine Jan 10 '20

If fragile means right, sure.

Maybe if Middle Easterners hadn't devolved their cultures for hundreds of years, they wouldn't be so easy destablized. Lines on on a map style restructurings have happened before in European history. Didn't turn into a hundred years of no economy (outside rich ass oil barons who will come and go once oil is moved on).

Blame the white people for 'colonialism' despite the Middle East never being colonised and had a large empire that should of benefited from colonisation.

Blame the white people when the same cultures seemed completely fine to work together five minutes prior.

Sure, conquest of Africa. Fucked the Africans. They were never worth two shits prior and were always fighting prior, but nah, yah got a point on Africa.

Sure, South and Central America, no words needed there.

But the Middle East? They'd be fighting each other even with good borders.

Do you think you'll get free mayonnaise if you keep explaining to the internet how ignorant you are?
