Reply to comment by eggsssssssss in TIL there's a rock formation in Saudi Arabia about 6 meters high and 9 meters wide, split curiously in half and balanced on two small, natural pedestals. The origin of the Al Naslaa rock formation is unknown. by OccludedFug
Way to strawman.
I never said anything about race or class, or even called them victims.
Is your argument that European colonialism in the middle east had zero impact on Saudi Arabia?

Our argument is that colonialism didn't directly destroy the entirety of Saudian Arabian history
You know, rebutting the original point being made, instead of the one you switched to after realising the mistake but not admitting it

I never said it did.

I have checked back through the thread and noone made that claim.

You should learn how to read. That comment doesn't say what you are claiming it does.

What does it mean then?

That it contributed in some way to the current situation they are in.
Not that it was the sole cause of the destruction of the entire Saudi history as you are claiming.

Yeah no, that's not what they meant and it's pretty obvious.
