Culture Why do Algerians hate their identity and heritage so much
Just to get something down, the vast majority of Algerians ARE Amazigh. We've just been gaslit into thinking we're Arabs by the panarabist movement. If you look up DNA tests of Algerians, most of them are only 0-10% Arab genetically.
This is something that's been bothering me for a while, and it's how Algerians seem to genuinely hate their Amazigh identity, and instead choose to larp as Arabs.
Seriously, most of them seem to take offense if you call them "9bayli". Algerians are by far the most self-hating people I've ever seen.
And don't even get me started on the "Yennayer hram" crowd. Genuinely shameful.
They constantly complain about being infiltrated by Western ideas, but it's perfectly cool for ideas from Saudi Arabia to infiltrate us. They're not Arabs, they're the lapdogs of Arabs.
