No bro, not triggered. Actually, I thought about the same thing for many years
I used to wonder if the whole world would become one uniform culture, boring and international. Would everyone be equal parts of everything ?
But that was teenage me. Today as a 30 something yr old, I can appreciate world history much more.
Look at Europeans. You’d expect they would have homogenised, with millenia of war and migration, whether mongol hordes, ottomans, Alexander, the romans or Vikings.
And yet the continent is bursting with diversity - the northern slavs, the eastern and southern slavs, Iberians, Germanics, Scandinavians…
The world always was mixing. Laws, boundaries… when has that ever stopped people from exploring ?
I’m not sure the crusades were really an invasion. It was more like “you must allow us to worship here occasionally” they actually improved and brought peace to the region for a time for Muslims Jews and Christians. I would say it was a net gain for everyone.
I’ll let others debate the white purity stuff I don’t really care.
In the same way colonization of the New World was preceded by Mongol invasions of Europe…
Was it? I need to read up on that. Mongols were amazing at warfare. Could ride a horse for 10 days straight only stopping to drink the blood of the horse to stay alive.
“Not to mention that they were preceded by Muslim invasions of Europe…”
…er… no… The first Crusade was started to take JERUSALEM from the Muslims, nothing to do with Europe. Jerusalem is in Israel, which is Asia.
The one who had started the first crusade, was the Byzantine Empire, what is today Turkey.
The Byzantine empire, which was the Eastern half of the Roman empire, after the fall of Rome to the Germanics, had requested military aid from Western Europe
For everyday christians, it was way worse than that. A lot of the crusades were politicians trying to get rid of excess mouths to feed.
If you read about the motivations of each crusade and the journey, not the military stuff… its really similar to the shit politicians do today
Race baiting, elites controlling the poor masses, economic shenanigans, border games, political dick measuring, even brainwashing children’s education
Saying it was muslim v christian is overly simplistic
BTW, I don’t know as much about the reverse, i.e. the muslim takeback and the struggle for the common man living under the muslims. I think a lot would be similar, since economic circumstances were equally shit for everyone at the time, and political leaders are a total crapshot
God damn this triggered over a meme.

I dont care.
Don’t know what your problem is. You seem to be rather triggered.
No, we’re tired of the same old arguments full of obvious errors and fallacies.
If we were all mixing all the time, specialized variants wouldn’t exist.
Europe has been fighting itself internally over those very differences.
etc.
You say errors, but don’t bother to explain.
We already were mixing all the time. Did you never read a history book ?
Europeans have been migrating all over the place, USA, South Africa, Australia, Argentina, Brazil. Why is that ok, but the reverse is not ?
Europe has also invaded the whole world -> crusades, colonization of Americas, Africa, Asia.
Somehow your White purity arguments conveniently forget all this ?

And both influenced the treatment that those groups – Amerinds are Mongols – received afterwards.
