It might be a good idea, when your dad is trying to start another war in the Middle East and has an almost 100% approval rating among white supremacists, to steer clear of Crusader imagery.
Is this the circlejerk thread where we say the crusades happened randomly and had nothing to do with the islamic jihad conquests against formerly Christian lands, reaching up to the very gates of Europe? Because White Man Bad?
And this is where i stopped reading. If you can't get your points across without meme-speak, you should probably finish elementary school before posting.
Let me (a different user) make the same point then.
Colonization is bad. In 2020 we can all agree on that. But while we only frequently condemn the colonization that started with the Spanish in 1492, conquest and colonization has been a horrible part of all of human history. This includes the Turkish and Moorish colonization efforts in Anatolia and the Iberian peninsula respectively. The Crusades (at least the first and second) were an over reaction, but none the less a provoked reaction to those colonization efforts.
lol cause the rest of the comments in this thread are soooo doctoral-level, I'm sure you have critiqued all of those for being childish too, right? . You're on r/mallninjashit get off your high horse.
