@oneflyinghorse @NRCC This used to happen to me, eventually I replied that they were traitors serving foreigners and they stopped after that.

Would you put your fate in God’s hands, risking your life for a small chance to save your empire?
The last Roman Emperor Constantine XI Palaiologos did in 1453!
"As to surrendering the city to you, it is not for me to decide or for anyone else of its citizens; for all of us have reached the mutual decision to die of our own free will, without any regard for our lives."

@LaNativePatriot To be fair, I think there is a fair amount of evidence that people reached America from the levant or Europe in deep antiquity, but they would have just mixed into a much larger populace who did build the pueblos, mound cities etc.

@DiodLeAnarchist @NathanielABloom @RolloRouen The bible wasn't even finished being redacted until the helenistic period and there is no compelling evidence for them even being monotheistic until it was imposed on them by the zoroastrian Persians. So, textbook definition of a larp.
English
@NathanielABloom @RolloRouen The bible wasn't LARP. Apolloists can't even figure out if they actually believe in Apollo's existence or not. I know Richard doesn't.
Christians believed in God so badly that they gladly faced persecution for it. "Apollonians" will never do such a thing or have the ability.

@HarrisonHSmith And yet Mecca didn't actually exist in the time ascribed to Mohammed.

Quiz:
- Mohammed failed to start a religious movement in Pagan Mecca, and only found success when he moved to Medina - What tribe of people lived at Medina?
- Before being instructed to pray in the direction of Mecca, Muslims prayed toward which city?

@DanTheLituanian It's amusing that the people who conquered via force and cancelation always pretend they just convinced everyone else peacefully. Ofc now those methods are used against them and they won't react in kind because they believed their own fibs.

@alpinicoid @DanTheLituanian Christian Crusaders enslaved Baltic and Slavic pagans and in many instances even sold them to muslim Ottomans, much like what Muslims were doing to Hindus in India. Abrahamics has been a cancer on humanity.

@BretDevereaux Maybe we should list Oppenheimer, Marx and Nobel instead?
English
I can't help but notice these lists of 'great men' are all men who were great at killing. In the case of Alexander or (fictional!) Achilles, great at killing and *nothing else.*
No scientists, artists, writers, humanitarians.
Just killers. Not quite my definition of greatness.
Modern Caesar@ModernCeasar
People who hate Great Men theory know that they could never reach same heights as Achilles, Alexander or Caesar. So they live in self-delusion that Great Men don't exist and push agendas that support their narratives.

@NikosMichailid4 It just bothers me that taking a single city that was already a shadow of itself and had already been sacked made him "the conquerer". Hes the most overrated dude in history.
English
Fatih Sultan Mehmed, often romanticized as a brilliant conqueror, stands as one of history’s great wreckers of human potential and civilizational continuity. By orchestrating the brutal sack of Constantinople in 1453, he delivered a catastrophic blow to what remained of the Eastern Roman legacy, extinguishing a thousand-year-old Christian empire that had preserved classical Greek and Roman knowledge through centuries of darkness. The orgy of violence—systematic rape, mass enslavement, destruction of irreplaceable libraries and artworks, and the conversion of Hagia Sophia into a mosque—represented not mere military triumph but a barbaric erasure of Mediterranean Europe’s cultural heart. His relentless expansionism fueled centuries of Ottoman aggression, draining resources through endless jihads, imposing the devshirme system that stole Christian boys for janissary slavery, and entrenching a theocratic despotism that stifled innovation, economic freedom, and intellectual inquiry across the Balkans and Anatolia. Far from advancing humanity, Mehmed’s legacy is one of arrested development: delaying the Renaissance’s full flowering in the East, institutionalizing religious subjugation via the millet system that kept subject peoples in perpetual second-class status, and planting the seeds of ethnic conflicts that still poison the region today. He was no enlightened ruler but a medieval warlord whose conquests enriched his dynasty at the horrific expense of millions, setting back human progress in the name of imperial glory and Islamic supremacy.

@BretDevereaux He was murdered, and had he not been there would have been peace in Macedonia.

'Alexander secured peace for his people'
I think the public memory of Alexander is profoundly distorted by the tendency of survey courses to stop at the Mutiny on the Hyphasis and hop on to the Romans.
Alexander drags his army through a desert, dies, then they do civil wars.
Mitchell, Man of Loopty-loops@panatheniac
@BretDevereaux It is only in the very modern era when being able to conquer half the world and secure peace and prosperity for your people at the expense of foreign hordes is considered a bad or even neutral thing. India even today would beg God for an Alexander of their own.

@Th_Angelopoulos That's a rather bizzare interpretation given that Alfred the great's official title was the king of the anglo saxons.
English
This one, in defence of Homer Pavlos, claims (correctly imo) that ethnic nations are a modern concept.
Homer Pavlos says the opposite of what this guy says.
Both of them are united in their ignorance.
Laris Vrahimis@LarisVrahimis
Ethnic nations are a modern concept. The passage would be meaningless to a modern audience without the proper adaptation. The passage does indeed convey the meaning of the adapted text and it correctly speaks to a modern audience as set out by Homer. Angelopoulos is a typical jerk. We would have ignored it had he not been a lefty shipwreck.

Fradd’s right, this is the dividing line.
It determines whether one is willing to suffer everything for Christ or sell him out for 30 pieces of silver.

There's a whiff of antisemitism is this statement too. Such disrespect for 6million Jews.
Rupert Lowe MP@RupertLowe10
I want to be really clear in my response. I am not going to retract anything, I stand by every single word. Labour are calling for me to apologise. The answer is no. Industrial rape across almost every town and city in Britain. Sexual torture. Murder. Endless rape. I sat there for two weeks, listening to these girls. I heard how one girl was raped by a dog, as Muslim men bet on what the animal would do. Girls drugged and locked in cages, like rats. Another, raped by 700 men over three years. Dozens and dozens of these stories through our inquiry, and we are barely scratching the surface. This was allowed to happen EXACTLY because politicians were cowards, refusing to discuss it. I will not make that same mistake. I said what I said, and I meant it. The Labour Party have blood on their hands, yet they think they can demand an apology from me for highlighting the systemic evil they allowed to infect our entire country? They can piss off. I am angry about it. Furious. When you hear directly from these girls about what they have been through, it changes the way you see politics. Forever. Our report will be out very soon. When that happens, I don’t want any apologies from the Labour Party. I don’t care about that. I want to see those politicians responsible for covering up this atrocity behind bars for what they have done to these girls.
