Well that's my story.
they really were just the reaction of an oppressed and invaded white christendom against the swarthy hordes of saracens and their mohamedism

the crusades were a reaction to saracen colonialism

really makes you think

well yeah, do you think modern anti-colonialists really give a poo poo? they all tend to end up in nice mansions with nature preserves

i can respect that

for the same reason i can respect a crusader slicing through a bahometten pillager

im just saiyan if youre going to go around claiming to be striking a blow for christendom you should probably not renege on your solemn oath before god and the Roman Emperor Himself to return the lands rightfully belonging to Constantinople

makes you look like kind of an opportunist dick

mind u, cut a norman in half and u probably find "opportunist dick" written inside

i wonder if racists just sort of block out the crusades because it was the one time in history where brown people were better off than white people in every way, shape, and form.

in the year 1100, a fat turkish man gets drunk a massive nicotine buzz and starts ranting about how those lazy europeans keep trying to take proper seljuk jobs and how they need to build a wall to keep the foreigners out

FYI the crusaders were fully justified as inheritors of the roman legacy who were merely regaining roman territories annexed by desert savages. Israel today as another roman inheritor and has much more of a right to the land than the non-roman palestinians. You see, Mars God of War gave the Romans and by extension western civilization their mission and destiny, which is complete dominion over the earth.
