      History is like a mystery book that you’ve read the last chapters first and know how it’s going to turn out. The colonialism done by European powers hadn’t yet happened at the time of Crusades. In fact had the various warring factions in Europe hadn’t found common cause, their religion and culture would’ve been wiped out by Muslim colonialism. Yup, the Caliphate was conquering the Christian lands in Iberia and Anatolia and colonizing them. This is what triggered the Crusades.

      The Crusades were an anti-colonialism movement, and if they hadn’t found something to unite over, then their cultures, languages, and religion would’ve been wiped out and the whole thing would’ve been a minor footnote in history. They had managed

      In the end, the Muslim colonization of Iberia was defeated (with the Spanish and Portuguese becoming brutal colonizers afterwards) while the Byzantine Empire ultimately fell to Muslim conquest and colonization. Today, there’s only a few hundred thousand Christians left in Anatolia because of assimilation and genocide. Some of that has been relatively recent… you ever hear of the Armenian genocide?

      So yeah, not exactly a clear cut good guys vs. bad guys kind of thing as popular narratives suggest. The crusades were triggered by Muslim aggression into Christian lands. While that doesn’t excuse the atrocities committed by the Crusaders, the Crusades also don’t excuse the atrocities committed by Muslim empires either. History is complex, and reductive bias towards europe=bad or religion=bad just results in not actually learning anything from history.

      oh no douchebags are gonna stop bothering people the horror

      Ohhh I wish that were the case. In all likelihood they will just get more extreme and feral and women will pay the price for the men’s insecurities and delusions.

    The women I know who have given up on dating get involved in big community groups of women sharing hobbies, and seem more fulfilled than ever.

    There’s no female loneliness epidemic. It’s the dudes who are killing themselves.

      Man here. I would 100% choose dying alone over manipulating some poor woman beaten down by society’s misogyny and trying to subjugate and gaslight her with incel treatment. That probably sounds extreme to these freaks, but my eventual partner will be completely equal and we’ll have a better relationship because of it.

    I’m not a woman, but I like to reverse things like this and feel the stupidity in a fresh, new way!

    "The young women are waking up.

    Men will learn to have a quiet and gentle spirit, or they will learn to be alone."

    I believe women could actually enforce this as well. We all know men are desperate.

    My loud, fun, not perfectly fit ass never had trouble finding dates in my youth, and now my loud, (but polite) not perfectly fit ass, found a perfectly fantastic husband, who’ve cherished eachother nearly a decade.

    Lies old man, lies

    Man, with in vitro, sex toys and men who aren’t incels, I’m sure women will be just fine without assholes like this guy.
