Reply to comment by 2KoolAwYe in TIL there's a rock formation in Saudi Arabia about 6 meters high and 9 meters wide, split curiously in half and balanced on two small, natural pedestals. The origin of the Al Naslaa rock formation is unknown. by OccludedFug

That it contributed in some way to the current situation they are in.

Not that it was the sole cause of the destruction of the entire Saudi history as you are claiming.

Again strawmanning.

>Our argument is that colonialism didn't directly destroy the entirety of Saudian Arabian history

I never said it did.

>You know, rebutting the original point being made, instead of the one you switched to after realising the mistake but not admitting it

I have checked back through the thread and noone made that claim.

Way to strawman.

I never said anything about race or class, or even called them victims.

Is your argument that European colonialism in the middle east had zero impact on Saudi Arabia?

That wasnt an argument though. Language is important and you made the same claim (it's not a wind turbine) in multiple comments.

If no one corrects you, other people might believe you and start parroting it.

>versus the conventional wind turbine.

Had you used this phrasing or similar in your other comments we wouldn't be having this conversation.

"a machine for producing continuous power in which a wheel or rotor, typically fitted with vanes, is made to revolve by a fast-moving flow of water, steam, gas, air, or other fluid."

So it's a rotor, powered by air, that's generating power? Pretty much the definition of wind turbine.
