    People seemed to be confused about the crusades, saying things like “they didn’t go far enough.”

    To them, I’d like to say: My brother in christ, the crusades ended because they could go no further. They were a failure.

    But it succeeded at sending the instable aggressive bros out of Europe to get killed/lost far away?

      Wait a minute - you’re saying we could get all the dangerous, aggressive far-right people in the country to overcrowd a fleet of unstable dinghies and merrily set off to “invade” the Middle East?

          “Nigel Farage says ‘Beat them at their own game! Invade their shores with small boats!’ Show Johnny foreigner how to use small boats properly! Not some wishy-washy-lefty-liberal style cowardly crossing of a small channel that’s so easy a child could do it, but with a proper voyage round the French and Spanish coast and through the Mediterranean! I You’re British so you’re naturally better at sailing than any other human, even if you currently work in an office! If you support Nigel Farage, get in the boat now!”

        Well, it also worked when we sent them to America. Then we were able to do democratic revolutions, social democracies, European Union etc. The problem is they made a lot of money and they are knocking at our door again to bring back their shit now.

    Also tell them about what they did to the Cathars and the Northern pagans.

    But let’s be honest with you, they don’t care about history, they either wanna kill Muslims or they want to enforce their fucked version of Christianity.

    They also looted and pillaged even travelling through Europe, and they literally sacked Constantinople when the whole point was supposed to be coming to their aid, because it was there and had shit to steal. Complete shitshow.
