      They’re just saying that many other parts of the world weren’t scourged by Mongols so the theory that Europe rose to prominence because it was spared doesn’t really hold water.

      That’s if I understood them correctly.

        The post is a jab at the recent controversy on Sydney Sweeney ad for American Eagle jeans, claiming there is white supremacist undertone, not about being spared from the Mongol invasion itself is what lifts societies to prominence.

          You can’t really dismiss the main text of the post and claim the subtext makes it irrelevant.
