Yes. Nationalism is unnatural. Middle Eastern cities for the longest of times hosted people from diverse backgrounds. Even the tiny little Gaza has churches from different Christian sects that stood for centuries until Israel bombed them.

Every Arab country has some religious or ethnic or linguistic minority. Even Saudi Arabia has indigenous people who don’t speak Arabic, Faifi is one indigenous Semitic language spoken. And it also has religious minorities that aren’t Sunni Muslims. Saudi Arabia is not an ethnostate, all the diverse people are equally Saudi but it does privilege Najdis and Najdi culture.

Israelis are only good at killing civilians. They can’t defeat an armed resistance so they take it out on women and children.

The region has been cursed by the worst invaders since the Mongols.

For the same reason blockchain was hyped for a while.

They can't help but take a hit at MENA countries. Who destabilized them? They never mention that; and as if your human rights track record is any better, just different. They also never mention that the US is the biggest producer of oil.

I only use Windows 11 because it came preinstalled on the latest laptop I bought. Otherwise I have been a Linux user for over 15 years and will switch back sooner or later. Microsoft is making their products the immoral choice and I do recommend boycotting them.

Yet another Trump lie.

Trump is so predictable, repetitive and so anti-intellectual, you could generate his responses with AI and they’ll actually be more coherent. It is not enough to do interviews, you have to be sane and informed.

How is X still up? I am equally surprised many are still on the platform given all the bad performance and rate limitations.

History has the tendency to repeat itself.

A great deal of energy, hardware and software went into providing that wrong answer.
