  27.  @Logos-Nomos  hk area was already han for centuries, then british stole it so now hkers are colonial bootlickers. mongolia was colonized by han under manchu rule not ccp rule. tibet barely has han majority

  28.  @Logos-Nomos  ofc its being colonized politically but not culturally, unless you make a distinction between han groups. that’s like saying texas is being colonized by californians

  44.  @shehzadahmad3945  it depends on the region. egypt had it the worse under the ottomans, mamluk oppression remained in place. syria was relatively prosperous in part due to levantine trade with western europe. iraq stagnated under ottoman rule until the mamluk dynasty came to power, when the area experienced an economic revival. ottomans didn't do much with the hejaz other than ceremonial claims.
    1
  45.  AileDiablo  the ottomans made things the same, because the mamluks continued to dominate egyptian society. this all changed for the better when muhammad ali overthrew the mamluks.

  51.  @helloworld5334  no, indians don’t feel western, they are closer to russia than west. in reality china has gotten india surrounded. mosg of india’s neighbours - pakistan, sri lanka, bangladesh, and nepal - are all run by pro-chinese governments. nepal has border disputes with india, bangladesh has immigration issues with india, and pakistan hates india for obvious reasons.

  73. theres no feudalism, never was in arab
    1
  74.  @jonjohns8145  well in my opinion the average frenchmen is close to the average german. you could have chose a better analogy, like the average frenchmen and the average pole. also arabs have been fighting each other frequently. morocco was always fighting with algeria during ottoman times. its less bloody because of turkic domination keeping everyone down, but that doesn't mean there is no conflcit.

  75.  @jonjohns8145  i feel like saying europe is more diverse than the arab is ignoring the centuries of regional variation there.
    1
  76.  @jonjohns8145  the arab world is so vast that anywhere can be a considered an "edge of empire." the maghreb, and the mashriq can both be considered the heartlands of respective cultures as much as europe is. by all metrics, the ottoman-safavid wars are the spanish succession/30 years/napoleonic wars of the middle east - for example, nader shah is known as the napoleon of the east. i'm also curious as to why you consider the 100 years war in the same category as those other wars you mention, since it was only a war between a few countries, only took place in france, and is as much a war as the moroccan-algerian wars of the early modern period. obviously the arab wars aren't talked because they are overshadowed by the ottoman safavid wars, whose participants were not arab. however, it's worth noting that iraq and khuzestan, then known as arabistan, were ruled by autonomous arab tribes, and the two regions fought each other often on behalf of the ottomans and safavids. as for actual wars between the arab great powers, see the fatimid-hamdanid-abbasid wars of the ninth, tenth, and eleventh centuries.
