@TateTheTalisman Totally agree.
It’s gone from disruptive climate activism, to fanatical extremism. Lock them up before they kill themselves, or worse, innocent bystanders.
Zero tolerance.
Eastern European resentment is understandable, given their history, but it doesn’t necessarily negate the Empire’s achievements.
Any evaluation of an Empire that lasted centuries should be nuanced. In the case of the Ottoman Empire—robust bureaucracy, progressive legal system, significant contributions to art, architecture, and science.
Every empire has dark sides alongside its accomplishments. Fascinating argument to steelman.
