Just ended watching a documentary on the Empire of Carthage and still feeling sad because they just said peninsular tribes or something like that. (come on say at least iberian and celtiberian tribes. cost only changing a word)  While putting a big fat Spain over all the Iberian Peninsula because Spain certainly existed then and if not, and you are doing it for viewers to recognize the geography, you sure as hell forgot about Portugal. Liked it though; the documentary was clearly intended as introduction and diffusion not specialised or anything so like can’t exactly put high standards. Just you know. Realising we are as we are now because we haven’t much of a unique cultural identity due to conquest (first carthage then rome then visigoods then muslims then catholics again) and religion; can’t exactly compare it to the shit the Spanish Empire did to America in terms of impact on today matters, but yeah. (anyway isn’t it what always fucking happens? instead of respecting one another and collaborating and being decent. and violence ends up shaping us) Feeling weird and navelgazing.
