I think we can agree that we disagree in most core parts. I could argue with you and point out that your logic can be twisted (“influence from propaganda” etc.) but I choose not to. It’s not that I sweep your comment of the table. There’s definitely some points I agree with you (not everything needs to be US/west centric), but at the same time I believe simple “falling under different hegemon’s sphere” won’t change much for the better. Part of why I came to this conclusion was studying history of my own country.
You could just be honest and admit that you’ve got no rebuttal to their extremely thorough and in depth post, but you’re too stubborn to consider changing your beliefs anyway. Not this “agree to disagree” cop out.
