Alexander II was industrialising the nation and reforming the old feudal system
Hahaha
However he was murdered
The III, my bad
Im just trying to make a point, the nation was (and by a large part still is) an absolute shithole
or was he not?
It is pretty much the backwater of Europe
German soldiers were taken aback, they thought they were fighting in the middle ages
hmm, i'm mistaking someone
Those who knew him well described him as a very pious man, and very nearly as devoted to his family. He apparently liked to spend as much time as he could with his children, and delegated much of his power to aristocrats who would lie to his face about the state of the empire. Many of those men had served under his father, so he trusted them.
That’s the more likely scenario
^
And given most aristocracies across Europe were riddled with Jewish corruption at the time
It would make sense
He only tolerated Rasputin because his son seemed to improve under the mystic's care, but he hated the man. He just feared losing his son more than he disliked this madman from BFE.
Yes, my bad, they murdered Nicholas's Prime Minister who was reforming things for good
Pyotr Stolypin
He was murdered by a jew leftist
Stolypin is based as fuck
All Jews are leftists. No need to qualify.
There’s one sect I haven at least a little respect for. I forget their name, but they’re the fundamentalists of jews and are viciously hated by the rest because of it. They completely reject the Talmud and say it’s false. They believe only in the Torah.
I'd rather not risk it and not trust any
I agree, but there’s always the chance we could use them to cause even more strife and disunion amongst the Jews.
They're called Karaites.
YES
That’s right
Thank you
It was bugging the hell out of me that I couldn’t remember
Stolypin made the day of the rope real 😻
Nobody hates Jews quite like other Jews
They love stepping on each other’s toes all the time
I'm into a history of philosophy podcast right now, and it just wrapped up Jewish and Muslim philosophy in the Middle Ages. The Karaites come from the same philosophical strain as the Islamic Ash'arites, who currently dominate theology in Islam.
The enemy is not nearly as organized as the facade they put up leads us to believe
The big difference between the Karaites and the Ash'arites is that while the Karaites rejected the rabbis, the Ash'arites rejected everything non-Islamic. Ash'arite theologians banned philosophy, which in the 9th century consisted of everything from metaphysics to geometry. It's why Islam is crazier now than ever.
Both Muslims and Jews are the enemy
Muslims don't really seem to hide it though
Whilst Jews attack from within
Iirc the Eastern Catholics don't include the Filiqoue in the creed in Greek
And by non-Islamic, I mean everything but the Qur'an and the hadith. Even traditional Islamic theology got trashed for being too Aristotelian. Ibn Ash'ari was the primary inspiration for ibn Taimiyya, who would later found Salafism.
