    Not even that. Or are you one of those people blaming the Yemen civil war on white people?

      Bruh, it’s a single sentence, not an in-depth examination of all geopolitics for the past 500 years.

          A. Disproven me with FACTS and LOGIC

          OR

          B. Disputed the literal interpretation of something that was not meant literally or absolutely in the first place

            Then what exactly am I to take it as? What level of argument is this? “Na ah, you can’t disagree with me, because I was just using a commin saying and don’t want people to actually take my words at face value”?
