Being proud of one country doesn’t mean you’re not proud of the other, for example if I lived in Spain and I was born British, if I flew a British flag it doesn’t mean I’m not proud of the country I’m living in

Gibraltar is brittish, fly that flag high

Yeah boi

If your not learning to speak Spanish, interact with the Spanish and not adopt Spanish customs then yes it means your more proud of the place you came from then the place you are in

Hola migos

At which point the natives are just to look at you negatively cause you essentially acting like a colonist

Yeah, if I moved to the Middle East I defo wouldn’t be adopting their customs lol

And they will likely drive you out and the world will clap because they would say that’s the west encroaching on the east

But if we say the same thing here we’re considered racist bigots

Political correctnesses is just <:WaitWhatArmy:590858815189024778>

Yep they make these issues way more convoluted then they have to be.

Their standards naturally are hypocritical because they don’t apply the same standard universally

If they do they leap frog through to justify other groups behavior good but ours is bad

I especially hate the whole ancestry blame rhetoric

“Well you’re a bad person because of what your ancestors did”

And people go as far as saying the Muslim world should invade Europe for fair play because of crusades

Well the crusades were defensive over initial encroachments by Islamic invasion so no lol it’s not justified

Wait what

You learn something new every day eh

They use it as a knee jerk justification to suite their modern analysis of Islamic encroachment on the west

Yes the Islamic conquests took all the Middle East, Anatolia, Liberia, North Africa and were close to getting into Europe

Wait those places were Christian

The west launched the crusades cause those places the Islamic conquests took where Christian

What

Yes

they were part of the byzantine empire

mostly orthodox christian

Also the west only launched the crusades after like 200 years of continued aggression by Islamic caliphates

so crusades were a reconquest

Or in other words defensive

Muslims had ivaded Spain and parts of France before the crusades started too, it was not just a push to take Jerusalem. It was mainly to push Islam back into the middle east

battle of tours

Basically, whitey didn't start it

North africa and the middle east were christian for 700 years.

We shall take back Iberia!… oh yeah don’t forget Jerusalem

they were roman, and converted pretty early iirc

then the visigoths in tunisia etc. were christian

then the islamic invasions and oh look everyone converted to islam

The islamic jihad had taken most of spain, itally and the states around greece before the crusades started, first taking back europe and then rataliating on merely jerusalam.
