I'm talking overall and not speaking of the United States -well, except as we are a part of Western Civilization as a whole. This is what the movie 300 was all about to me? That part of the world versus Western Civilization.
That's not at all what that movie was about. And Western Civilization mostly didn't give two shits about Persia for the overwhelming portion of post-medieval history. We actually fostered something of a fascination with the place from the 17th century until well after World War 1. Your racism has heavily distorted your perception of historical narrative.
You are so blinded by hatred that you call a man you don't even know a racist. Please, no longer come around me. I only feel pity for you. Yes, antithesis, you are opposite... —opposite of reality and your fellow man of reality! Enjoy.
I know that you deploy the racist "Deus Vult" narrative that Western Civilization and Central Asian civilization have had a conflict going back thousands of years. It's not true and it's rooted in a belief in some kind of superiority to Western culture. It's a racist narrative. Why would you repeat it if you didn't believe it?
