I'm delusional for telling that ancient texts should "respected studied and understood" (as a culture with 5 millennia of history deserves). What would I have been if I had told that the books should be burned and the culture annihilated. To study a text, in my language, implies to put it in the proper context. And my argument was that the roots of today's mentality are ancient.

Study and understand them as much as you want... but if you are trying to whitesplain away western-backed settler-colonialism by using these ancient texts as a prop you are either delusional or a propagandist.
