I guess you’re right, the only possibility is that people like their post partition nation and national identities. There’s really no other explanation and no I won’t read any history to find out. Good thing the British came along and taught those foolish savages who they are.
Oh OK. So they don't want to. So what was the point of blaming the English yet?
My reply to you was sarcastic. Of course theres much more to decolonization than redrawing lines on a map and the British are absolutely to blame for the longstanding effects of colonialism.
Why are you simping so hard for a country that fucked up half the world?
Because the circumstances of the earth flow directly from their actions.
Now how come you’re simping so hard for England?
Do you even know what "simping" means?
Stay on topic. Why are you simping for England so hard?
If you live there it’s okay, what do you think I’m gonna do, make fun of your food or teeth?
You really don't know what that word means
Like I said, stay on topic.
If you don’t understand how I’m using the english language, work it out using context clues.
Why are you such a simp for England?
Nobody simping here dude. Learn what that word means.
That word is internet slang, moron. It doesn't need to be tightly defined like it's scientific nomenclature. Even if it did, the way it's being used by the person talking to you is perfectly fine and understandable.
But I'm not surprised this is what you're getting hung up on because it's clear you have no idea what context is. You have demonstrated you are completely ignorant of the importance of historical and geopolitical context in general, and completely ignorant of the specific historical and geopolitical context of the Middle East. And now with your "hurr durr that's not what 'simping' means!!1!" deflection, you're showing you also don't understand the fundamental importance of context in language. It's no wonder you can't see anything beyond lines on a map.
Hey, why is it more important to argue over the definition of words than to answer my question?
Why are you simping so hard for England?
Because the past affects the present
