Reply to comment by 2KoolAwYe 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

Again strawmanning.

>Our argument is that colonialism didn't directly destroy the entirety of Saudian Arabian history

I never said it did.

>You know, rebutting the original point being made, instead of the one you switched to after realising the mistake but not admitting it

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.

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.
