    False equivalence, that’s an entirely different historical context. Things can apply to one situation and not another

      Explain. How is it a false equivalent? Romans controlled the city / region for over a thousand years and were later conqured, and their land stolen, to use the vernacular of this thread.

        You’re oversimplifying in order to compare the two. Wildly different historical contexts with entirely unrelated events. Distilling both down to “area conquered” just so you can make a point is reductive.

        Beyond that though, why does it matter honestly? Does the fact that a city was conquered in the 1400s invalidate anything mentioned so far?

              People. On a land mass. Wiped out. People. On a land mass. Wiped out.

              Yeah, I guess I see your point.

                Damn, still couldn’t make it past the first sentence huh? Really hard question too, I’m not surprised you conveniently ignored it given the aptitude you’ve shown so far. Ain’t my fault that you can’t possibly comprehend two things being somewhat similar yet remaining distinct.

                God, I love sealioning.

                  Oh wait, my fault. I was responding to your comment “We are still here

                  Wasn’t sure which part of myanaolgy you weren’t getting. Now we can peacefully argue about that instead.
