Omg try going to sapphic spaces. So much of the time the first few questions go far deeper than you’d even had time to ever think about before.

I’d argue that it doesnt really count since the concept of ‘country’ though is more colonial in its origins so realistically, a ‘country’ wouldn’t exist until after colonization in these areas.
Nations might’ve existed with different groups/tribes/villages sharing a culture, but the concepts of clear-cut borders, strict land ownership, and nationalism (which to me are a requirement for the concept of a “country”) are significantly different in many indigenous cultures as compared to colonial states. Maybe with the exception of some Latin American empires? Though I don’t know enough about those empires to be confident in that.

I’ve been to a pro-pal protests few around different cities and have never met any real anti-Semite on the side of the protest. I have, however, met a couple of counter protesters that hold the Israeli flag yet proudly call themselves white supremacists.
This quote is not referring to the scientific method, it is social.
If a person tries to address an emotional issue by eating chocolate or by drinking alcohol, and then the emotional issue keeps happening, and every time they address it with the same solution, then that is “insanity”. You’re doing the same thing and expecting a different result. Sure you’re not eating the same chocolate or drinking the same beer, but you’re not addressing the core of your emotional issue either.
Worth noting that this quote is incorrectly attributed to Einstein and it actually first shows up in AA literature. (Source)
