The crusades were far more than a response to "the" Muslim threat. They were the expansion of the RC into the M.East to increase its power, to make it comparable in might to the European monarchs.



Ah, yes, because the natives of America and Australia had any choice facing colonialism, and your time scale is completely out of wack. The crusades were before the English colonization of America, and subjugation of the natives. Perhaps the Spanish colonization of S.America is what you're thinking of? Even then, your time line is rather... loose.

But its more of this colonialism being incredibly "unfair". Nations expanded and conquered those less powerful than them. Look at the size of China and Russia. The Mongols slaughtered hundreds of cultures who took land from others and were then destroyed themselves. The Persians expanded and took a huge swath of land. Same with the Zulu's and other cultures. This whole white people bad is just naive rubbish. They were just more successful in a later period and maintained their scientific superiority.



Perhaps respond to what I wrote? hmm? Then you might be worth commenting on. You seem to expect people to accept your points without argument, simply repeating yourself until they're accepted.

The vast, vast majority of the victims of ISIS were Muslims, yet we seem to think that Muslims are out to get us.

I've never understood the appeal of Aldi, it's like the poor man's Lidl. I've been in twice and never bought anything. As for all the ''diversity'' it's just identity politics bs and it's starting to eat itself now. The lesbians are pissed that the gays get more airtime than they do. The lesbians are pissed that they are vilified for refusing to date men who claim to identify as women. The feminists are pissed that they are demonised for refusing to accept the push to give more rights to men who identify as women than to actual women. The gays are pissed at there being so many mixed race couples on TV when they claim that there are far more LGBTQ people in Britain than there are mixed race couples.

I haven't bought McCain oven chips since they got woke and tried to squeeze in just about every single possible demographic. I don't care about people's colour or religion or sexual orientation etc, I do care that it's rammed down my throat. Still, I think Tesco were the biggest offender last year when they tried to get people to believe the Muslim people in their Ad celebrated Christmas. Who cares? Nobody really, but if anything I think more and more people switch brands when an agenda is pushed rather than buy a product because it's woke. We don't buy Gillette and we don't buy McCain anymore.
