Just happened to me.
More bizarre response. Your the one questioning the efficacy of the style, not me. Wait, did you catch a beating from an Israeli girl, that would explain a lot. -

Civil war in Europe?
That you dont know what 'unwoke' means and that you think it is a stupid word, says a lot about where you are coming from. What is also clear is that like most woke lefities you dont read/listen, but respond with emotions as soon as you think you 'understand' what someone is saying. I said that in the 'modern' context (or words to that effect) that The Crusades is seen only as the invasion of the Holy Lands. However, in the past the events that started basically in France and then Austria in the 8th century, where the beginning of the 'crusade' to liberate Europe from Muslim rule and it took hundreds of years. In fact it was almost 1000 years from the 5th to the 15th Century when Islam was extremely 'involved' in Europe - a period of time that is often called the 'Dark Ages'. Surely they taught that in your schools? The Dark Ages basically started (no exact date like most big things) when the Roman Empire finally and fully collapsed in 5th Century. A few hundred years later of 'dark ages' and the Islamic forces started conquering major parts of Europe. The 'crusade' by Christians to drive Islam out of Europe, was what convinced the then disparate Christian Nations to join forces to drive Islam out, or be conquered and their Religion removed. Nothing creates impetus and commonality amongst Religious peoples than the threat of destruction of their faith. It was NOT an immediate event - in came and went in waves - culminating in the invasions of the Holy Lands and the eventual removal of Islam from power in many parts of Europe.
