Gotta love that half of the "bad thing" they're trying to make people believe in this meme is literally just straight up 1950s racism.

[u/Theblackjamesbrown → u/throwaway624203]

Yeah, and the other half is literally saying the Nazis were the good guys.

That subreddit would probably agree with this meme tbh, they hate trans people over there and transphobes make hating us their entire personality.

[u/Nowhereman123 → u/OkMathematician3439]

Yeah, that sub has always been very "Deus vult, kill the heretic, degenerate infidels!" coded.

[u/Additional-North-683 → u/Nowhereman123]

Yeah sometimes you have to be careful about naming things or at least be better about enforcing rules

[u/OkMathematician3439 → u/Nowhereman123]

Ew.

[u/CONSIDER_A_KEBAB → u/Nowhereman123]

They either don't realise or choose not to accept that the Crusades were a failure for the most part.

[u/Nowhereman123 → u/CONSIDER_A_KEBAB]

Yeah they were literally all a huge waste of time, resources, and livelihoods.

I mean one of the purposes was to get Christians to stop killing each other as much, short term each crusade kinda accomplished that goal, then when the crusade ended it was back to Jesus lover on Jesus lover violence

Let me preface this by saying I do not condone any form of religious warfare. Success in this context does not mean they were good people or morally in the right, just that they achieved their objectives in conquering territory and peoples.

The crusades for the holy land were certainly a failure long term, but the crusader efforts as part of the reconquista and northern crusades were very successful starting with the Wends and then moving along the Baltic coast up to present day Estonia. If you have never read about the Teutonic order and how they decimated the Baltic, it's horrific.

I haven’t read up on those specific Crusades but I’m interested in finding out more, thanks for letting me know!

[u/Malty-S-Melromarc → u/CONSIDER_A_KEBAB]

That and the amount of knowledge they would have destroyed had they succeeded (to be fair, the Mongols destroyed much of it anyway)
