    That’s a strawman argument. The Arabs were united enough to succeed.

    Jesus, this does not help the stereotype of the angry internet commenter upon whom nuance and understanding are lost.

      Look. You use whatever excuses you need to cope with the situation. But at the end of the day, you better get used to living under a dictatorship because thats where you’ll be.

        “Do what I tell you to do, or you’re just making excuses! There couldn’t possibly be other real factors that affect peoples’ lives that I haven’t considered!”

        Man, how astute and useful. Do you think this won you the argument?

        The fact is you all want to see one thing: for all those guns Americans own to be turned on each other. If you think that you’re advocating for anything else - or if you think there will be any other outcome - I don’t know what to tell you.

        It’s real fucking easy to wag your finger and say, “Just do X!” as though we’d never thought of that!

        Get a clue and understand that you don’t understand.
