You’re oversimplifying in order to compare the two. Wildly different historical contexts with entirely unrelated events. Distilling both down to “area conquered” just so you can make a point is reductive.
Beyond that though, why does it matter honestly? Does the fact that a city was conquered in the 1400s invalidate anything mentioned so far?
Oversimplifing an empire being overthrown. Seems legit.
Yes.
If you had made it past the first sentence you’d see how legit it is.
People. On a land mass. Wiped out. People. On a land mass. Wiped out.
Yeah, I guess I see your point.
Damn, still couldn’t make it past the first sentence huh? Really hard question too, I’m not surprised you conveniently ignored it given the aptitude you’ve shown so far. Ain’t my fault that you can’t possibly comprehend two things being somewhat similar yet remaining distinct.
God, I love sealioning.
Oh wait, my fault. I was responding to your comment "We are still here"
Wasn't sure which part of my anaolgy you weren't getting. Now we can peacefully argue about that instead.
**EDITED FOR TYPO
Nice, made it extremely clear this time that you have no interest in actually discussing anything. Really appreciate your honesty, have a good one
You too buddy! Would enjoy having rational conversations, even note elsewhere in this thread that I'm taking the time to read American Holocaust, as I told myself "why should I ask someone to do something I'm not willing to do myself?" Granted, being close to 50 years old, it likely won't change my mind, but I reason that if I do read this book, maybe I can better understand other's worldview, and maybe, just maybe we can have civil conversations instead of the stupid fucking bickering that's been going on in a... wait for it... meme thread!
