they didn't have the benefit of 800 years of aftertiming like you.
God willed it.
These conflicts didn't happen for the reasons they are stated to have happened. This was a cull designed to enrich specific areas of Europe while depopulating the most bellicose and ambitious men as opportunities for internal advancement within their feudal hierarchies were actively closed off as power was being consolidated.
Extremely based. The Levant is still Roman clay though.
Interesting perspective, I'm listening to a history podcast and when the host is talking about the crusades and how chaotic and costly they were I couldn't help but think how much the guys who stayed at home and consolidated their power instead of dying in the desert must have profited, especially since there must've been a huge power vacuum with the emperor and various powerful vassals being gone.
First third of the movie is basically that with Sheen and Balan's cousin both hoping he dies in the desert
Healthy young men abandoned their families and left their communities worse off to go die in the desert to make Italian trade cities rich and further domesticate the breeding stock by removing difficult to govern men. Much the same way the medieval church controlling education resulting in the smartest males not breeding Christianity and it's harm inflicted on the West has been largely eugenic and no one in any of the tradcon communities is willing to have this debate because they're smart enough to know it's true but can't admit it in front of their audiences.
>difficult to govern men
>hey guys if you go to die in the dessert your sins will be forgiven (despite justification being through faith not works ;))
yeah I'm pretty sure cannon fodder goyim have always been sheeple
Difficult to govern if they are not directed towards an outlet useful to whoever is contriving it. The baseline assumptions in the felicity and misery of man.
>they are hard to make compliant with orders
>unless you are telling them what to do 🙂
not sure I'm following what you're laying down, skippy
Without the correct application of selective pressures they would have stayed home and been violent instead. Violence is hard to control even if you are directing it as it is possible for someone you weren't planning on getting killed dying. Remember how the story of the Golem went? Don't set in motion what you can't actually control. There is a critical distinction there, it's very subtle but it's non-trivial and that's why your not following. Ambitious and bellicose men can absolutely be planned for but to say they are easy to control is to set yourself up for an oversight.
an alternative theory is that you're incorrect and are just asserting things to sound insightful. people rushed out in wwi and wwii to be violently killed in shit storms after centuries of religious wars in europe. surely at somepoint these selective pressures you're alluding to would actually have an effect as opposed to merely being directed mischievously
The selective pressures are the things that are convincing the majority of them to do it. I agree with you that it's completely moronic but that's the MO for Christian populations and their slave morality.
are you trying to use that phrase in an evolutionary genetic sense?
What podcast? I listen to a few already about medieval history.
>sell everything
>travel to the Middle East to fight for God
Pretty based
They had that one Muslim who also kept saying "God wills it", so it's okay.
Allahu Ackbar or whatever is allegedly basically the same thing as Deus Vult.
>I did not offer the Dunkin' Iced Coffee to you.
Guy de Lusignan was a gigamoron, and his wife remained with him throughout this episode, the 3rd Crusade and when they went to rule over Cyprus. Saladin probably let him go to fuel divisions amongst crusaders, and put a moron back in the mix to frick things up (kinda like how the byzantine emperor was released after Manzikert).
>Crusaders break off from the main group during Hattin
>"We're not fighting, we're already starving to fricking death."
At least Balian had the foresight to run back to the city.
>do whatever the frick you want
>shout 'God wills it'
what a time
Frick water
>oi gevalt the based muslims certainly weren't openly murdering kaffirs, why would the christ people so violently oppress us?
The Crusades were justified. This modern idea of the Crusaders as evil sadistic psychos is liberal anti-Christian propaganda. The modern normie's entire worldview is fed to him through movies and not only does he not question it, but he actually thinks that HE is the enlightened, free thinking one, and that Christians are brainwashed, mindless drones.
That is the biggest trick: It is not just that the media brainwashes you, but it actually does so in such a way that you believe you are a smart, enlightened intellectual for having these opinions.
Yeah by then they would have regained touch with Roman history and knowledge for some time. Someone had to have known about Crassus's defeat at the hand of the Parthians in the Battle of Carrhae.

Why was he so overpowered?
God was supposed to be on their side.
