Is this legitimising religious fanatical violence?
Dagordae
Little bit. A shocking number of people don’t actually know what the Crusades actually entailed.

The usual overpopulation trouble youth gas torching by aristocratic elits on both sides?
Dagordae
Case in point: The meme overlooking that the Crusaders got their asses kicked constantly. The Crusades were a long series of disasters, most
Dagordae
Of their ‘successes’ consisted of attacking themselves.

Another genocide by the catholic church.
Slydevil13
ok but both religions were at fault
ConfuMeister
A good number of Crusades started at home, in European towns itself, as a cleansing ritual that involved killing the Jews and idolaters.
oblimo
A good number of crusades also started as "Oh fuck, what are we going to do with all these young noblemen who want to kill something."
Fasrill
And then there was the 4th Crusade, which spelled doom for the Eastern Roman Empire.
GrammorPolice
It was a bloody slaughter of another religion.
ConfuMeister
Both of the religions were at fault. Europe was getting constricted from both sides (Balkans and Iberians) by "Saracen".
ConfuMeister
Then the Crusades started & saw the church weld control never seen before. Further Crusades were pure genocide to quench this power thirst.
Spaghettip
First, second and third were retaliatory Crusades. The rest was madness.
InfocalypseRising
I will always be curious how the hell “the Crusades” became a meme
150Echo
I always figured it was an evolution of the Praise the Sun from dark souls. Looks like a crusader > crusade memes
steve699
I guess it was a slow day on the Internet, and some decided to crusade it.
Asteroidrules
I mean one of the first memes was "remove kebab" for some reason genocide has always been a popular choice for memes.

So why the fuck would they pick the Crusaders? They don’t exactly have a good win record.

As a European I can assure you we still have our countries and so there's no need to take anything back from anyone.

Assholes make everything about themselves and ruin things for everyone else. What else is new? Just ignore them and have your fun.
Narayel
That s an interesting statement that I'm sure you have evidence for.

I can confirm. Us CK2 players have mostly abandoned the meme because it was picked up by some weird people.

Truth sometimes sucks, guys. It's been co-opted by racists and dickheads the perpetuation has been effectively tainted.
Mairoa
Yeah, to me it's always been hilarious as a way to mock them. (Said as someone who despises colonialism and majored in the dark ages)
Spaghettip
I'm guessing you ignore the half a dozen other motives to go on Crusade... Like the colonialist behavior of the Seljuks pushing into EU.

Essentially it did start with CRUSADER KINGS but the memeification is definitely shady.

To be fair, it was Islam.
ChickenLips2000
True though, any good history book will tell you that the Christian crusades were a reaction to the Islamic crusades
AustraliaTellsItHowItIs
Wait... you're telling me the religion founded by a war lord also took part in crusades?
ChickenLips2000
Nope, I pretty much said they started it, but in a different way

Why he turn away?
AjaxMaior
Can't leave war
ihavealltheibuprofen
He Deserted the war and can no longer return to his home cuz if deserter was found taking refuge in any where than people providing him (1/2
ihavealltheibuprofen
Refuge were branded as traitors too , so he joined up as mercenary to earn his family some bread 'les he returns to war he will be punished
AjaxMaior
I don't think he deserted, just looks like it changed the man he was. Whether he went back or not, he can't understand a normal life nemore
