“Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it” Pascal - Skeptic by nature/Miniarchist
Yeah, that analogy doesn’t really work
The Levant wasn’t just sitting there untouched, Arab armies took it from Byzantine Christians in the 630s. The Crusaders were trying to get it back
Spain’s the same deal, 711 was a Berber army under an Arab governor invading a Christian Visigothic kingdom. Tariq was working for them, not fighting them and then switching sides. A few locals helped out. That happens in invasions. It doesn’t turn it into a civil war
People converted later, once they were already under Muslim rule. The conquest came first
@burdmanorama@BriannaWu There is no medical reason to transition, it’s all a psychiatric condition
No diagnosis requires a person to become the opposite sex, because that is not biologically possible
Western Europeans retook the Levant and held it for generations. They lost it to distance, not because the trips failed.
Spain was not a civil war among converted locals. 711 was a Berber-Arab conquest of a Christian kingdom. El Cid freelancing for a taifa does not rewrite that.
And the West got Greek texts through Toledo, Sicily, and Byzantium. It was not conjured into existence by al-Andalus
Actually the human creature does not appreciate deception, it actually will avoid it at all cost as a primitive survival instinct
Trans is deceptive by its nature
You’re truly are a fool to believe human civilization’s survival instincts will be overridden by compassion for a deceiver
@dredgedskeleton@NevRhea@nathancofnas Actually intelligent people don’t try to convince people they are intelligent, most I’ve met are thoroughly convinced they aren’t all that intelligent at all
It’s always ignorant low iq individuals that claim intelligence and empirical knowledge
Macklemore demonized Israel and Israelis to a crowd of unsuspecting fans who came for music not propaganda.
And while he may have the right to say what he wants, no matter how grotesque, businesses have every right to decide who they platform.
