No form of civilization? Modern industrial production, perhaps - but civilization? Persia, India, China - you’re either kidding or unbelievably ignorant.
And by the way - modern industrial production (if that’s what you meant) is not equivalent to civilization at all. Why is the West so desperately trying to recover its sense of cultural identity? Industrialism destroys culture.
What civilization does Persia have? Or are you talking about 3k years ago?
India? Or are you talking 500 years ago?
China? Or are you talking 1500 years ago?
All failed a long long time ago.
The comment was based on modern times and the absurd “need” to negotiate with the world on their terms.
If we had done that the entire world would still be using whale oil.
GTFOOH.
This is what you wrote:
“No country has had any form of civilization until the west colonized them.”
You were not talking about the present. Nice bluff.
There’s no way to separate the present civilizations in India & China from their past iterations. Maybe Iran but that’s mostly due to the efforts of of Kermit Roosevelt Jr. and the Iranian reaction to the overthrow of their government and installation of the Shah by the ever so civilized West.
But feel free to make up whatever bullshit you like. That’s the beauty of this medium.
Blah blah blah.
I was talking about the present based off of your op.
Either way, it doesn’t matter.
Today, there is no trace of civilization outside of what the west has created.
Even more hilarious is your vote for Kennedy.
Fuck you and your reparations.
