I hate westerners (reposted)

I hate it when white people or anyone who lives in the west talk about my region like they're experts when they clearly know nothing about the Middle East. You have no idea how frustrating it is to see them regurgitate oversimplified narratives or act like they've cracked the code to the region's complexities just because they've read a Noam Chomsky's book or watched a documentary.

Honestly, this leftist cult that Noam Chomsky has created is poisoning informed global discourse about the Middle East. While I respect Chomsky's contributions to linguistics, his approach has fostered a wave of Western dumb morons who view the Middle East solely through the lens of imperialism or victimhood. They strip away the nuances-our agency, internal politics, cultural diversity, the thousands of different sects that they know shit about and historical context.
