Nessie, in case you come back:
What is the name of the country you live in?
Is it the country that stretches from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, roughly midway through what is now known as North America?
And assuming that you do live in that country, what's the name of the Nation it just illegally invaded? Mesopatamia? Sumaria?
How do you feel now about the country known as Persia? The political entity in mid-Europe known as the Holy Roman Empire?
What are your thoughts on Prussia?
The Soviet Union?
Non-Slavic Macedonia?
The Ottomans?
You are the racist. You have fixed your point in time and refuse to look backwards or forwards, and your nationlistic adherence to the Roman Empire given name to a region, that must be always called that region for time immemorial is not only quasi-racist, it's somewhat freakish.
By the way, the country known as Jordan, formerly very recently Transjordan, was also part of Roman Palestine. Why the hell aren't you screaming about the British Hashemite puppets changing that country's name?
Let me guess: you've found your fun little meme, and refuse to apply it consistently - but just use it to bash something you hate.
Very hypocritical. Very sad. No wonder you need to revert to totalitarian, fascist tactics to run your shop.
Open your mind. Pretend that history matters for more people than just your favorite pet projects.
