@goy_im_oh Of course but you cannot refuse that the casual scroller would choose to believe the lies because anyone would--it's just confirmation bias.
This omg. It makes me so mad every time they try to pull this narrative lmfaooo the average Westerners knowledge of Turkic history is really just complete hearsay bullshit from the internet at most
The idea that the jizya was an oppressive tax is a modern Balkan myth, aimed at explaining why formerly Orthodox Christian populations in the Balkans converted to Islam en masse. Ottoman tax rates were very low.
@goy_im_oh No, it's because they see us as the opposite of their values, and when truth comes at them, they refuse to accept it; it's as simple as that. Btw they do not care at all for the Greeks, either, just see them as their pawns, like they did during WWI and afterwards.
@goy_im_oh Turks also lost a lot of land, where they built entire cities in the Balkans, and they were also massacred. Did you know about that or does that also not fit your narrative? Turks living in Greece also were deported ?? So what the hell is your point here.
@goy_im_oh but those do not fit your narrative so they are also "baseless claims", "biased sources" but only those of yours, the westerners, that are somehow correct. your purpose is only to continue this narrative. YOU DONT EVEN LIVE IN GREECE LLMFAO
@goy_im_oh like you so you guys can continue your narratives. "had to hide in caves" Then your people shouldn't have rebelled when they were the rich compared to the poor Turks of the time, they shouldn't have killed innocent civilians INCLUDING KIDS
@goy_im_oh That's what I'm trying to say dude, you literally didn't show that so my assumption was correct, bc people from the West love to claim stuff about the history of the country I AM FROM, trying to teach me my own history, what you are still doing btw
@goy_im_oh I didn't talk about who the Janissaries were made of, I said "the army". Janissaries were a small percentage. The army was made of Turks. ๐คฆโโ๏ธ I didn't put too much on your name bc I took you for a diaspora larper ๐ฌ That's my mistake
@goy_im_oh Okay dude lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooo you probably also think the entire Ottoman army was made of janissaries too. Sorry that Ottomans integrated the conquered people into the government with the millet system
@goy_im_oh "the Ottomans who got a pretty good chunk of money from the Christians." <- I just tried to tell you that getting money from them is better than banishing them. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
