Thinking of posting this in r/breadtube, it sounds like something they'd like unironically
Modern wanna-be-crusaders learning how badly the historical crusades failed challenge.
Fun game: Reminds them that the crusaders sacked Constantinople, accelerating its eventual fall.
learning how badly the historical crusades failed
but did they succeed at accumulating capital?
Hmm. The Knights Templar were disbanded by the French king in 1310 because he was deeply in-debt to them and wanted to avoid paying, so I guess?
I thought r/CrusadeMemes was funny for a week. Then they decided the IDF were modern day crusaders.
Liberals agree with this but with human rights orgs instead of the church.
Do these idiots not realise that none of the crusades achieved their goals?

"Why would Islam do this?"
I would posit the 4th crusade was the successful one. Yeah the crusaders ran out of money and just pillaged Constantinople instead of doing another doomed attack on Jerusalem. People actually managed to get rich and dip in this crusade. Yeah Jerusalem is sill controlled by the Saracen, but I imagine for most of the nobles in charge that was just an excuse to go kill people and take their stuff. (I simplified this all a lot but still)
The closest thing we have to a crusade recently were those mercenaries that got captured by Venezuelan fishermen. Same shit imo
I think everything the West has done in Iraq and Afghanistan counts.
I guess, but most of those were reclassified as crusades retroactively in the 19th century.
They did in one respect - it gave a place for the nobility of Europe to send their more dipshit members so they couldn't cause problems at home.
I absolutely adore how chuds always try to latch on to looking cool, with cool WHITE armour and cool Hugo Boss uniforms and epic sounding Death Squad of the Holy Order of Most Messianic and so on and so on, because deep down they know that they're pathetic.
"Hitler was a bad guy... but aside from that one thing, he was a pretty good leader, right?"
Dreher is a national treasure, and I will not stand idly by while you slander his good and totally not haunted name.
Pedophilia? Sawing open women's vaginas to help them give birth easier? Definitely not family planning lol
I get why this is a barbaric procedure to perform in a setting where a caesarian section is possible. What I don't get is why the Irish Catholic church insisted on it. The Wikipedia article mentions that during the time some catholics promoted to do sterilisation together with C sections. I get that catholics are cunts regarding contraception but why couldn't they just do a C section without a sterilisation? Did they give any reason for their raging misogyny?
Was it all because of one man who had weird misogynist idea that he somehow managed to tether to catholic reactionary thought?
And why did he believe C sections were "unwarranted and unnecessary"?
You can only do so many c sections before you get too much scar tissue build up to be able to do another one safely. Hence why the standing recommendation is no more than 3.
If you cut the pelvis open you don't have to do a c section, so the woman could keep having babies.
That is just... Vile and nonsensical. There would be no problems giving the women C sections the first three times but God gets angry if we mess with his baby makers?
No, the standing recommendation is based on that it is a major surgery and that should be kept to a minimum. The risk of complications from a surgery increases every successive time as they don't tend to heal perfectly. 3 is just the common number used, could be as few as one if the healing doesnt go well. What God considers on the matter has nothing to do with that.
The alternative that the Irish catholics endorsed is more dangerous than that and has long standing health complications, but the more pressing problem is that it was done without the consent of the patients.
it rules because they would do that 1000 years ago in the sense that they would try and somehow end up in a place that alredy believe in their thing and kill them anyway
