Apparently the far right groups like to identify themselves with the crusaders, because in their minds they are righteous western Christians fighting against the Muslim Jihad invaders. It’s not that simple. Due to generations of programming and false history, many western people believe that they should identify with Christian western civilisation, and therefore in their mind with Crusaders. If this is what you choose for yourself, then that is your business, but I want to unravel the truth. I want to take this thing way way back in history, to the time before the birth of Western Christian Civilization, to the time of the old world order, to the time of pagan ethnic tribes and kingdoms like the pagan Slavic nations, the Nordic pagan nations, pagan Celts, pagan Greeks, Iberian pagans, etc… I want to know how they were destroyed and by whom, and how exactly did Christian religion gained its immense power and become the most powerful religion on earth, with the most amount of followers around the world.
I know in my heart, I know intuitively that we definitely do not know the whole truth about the history of Crusaders. The Northern Crusades or Baltic Crusades was not the only history where crusaders genocided the pagan European and Slavic nations.
Officially, the Northern Crusades were Christian colonization and Christianization campaigns undertaken by Catholic Christian military orders and kingdoms, primarily against the pagan Baltic, Finnic and West Slavic peoples around the southern and eastern shores of the Baltic Sea, but I know that this is not the entire truth about the crusaders against pagans.
As Christianity was spreading, slaughtering all those who resist, the survivors who gave in and accepted Christianity were then used to fight more crusade wars against other pagans

Words can’t describe how much I hate people like this.
Those who actually make campfires tend to be the most respectful people towards nature.
People who want to ban others from making fires because it might "hurt the environment" are themselves always neoliberal consumerist supporters of the techno-industrial system that don't blink an eye at deforestation if it results in more GDP from a new motorway or to build more houses for endless waves of migrants. They import avocadoes from across the world to eat on toast every day, and they’ll use all sorts of disposable plastic products and not think twice about where they’ll end up when they’re finished with them. They’ll use toxic chemicals in their bathrooms and kitchens and not care that they end up in the rivers and the sea. They would rather die than lose their lifestyles of comfort and consumerism.
So I’ll take no lectures from people like this on why my campfires are killing the earth.

White privilege? I do not think so. The ancestors of this land worked hard to survive. In a house like this, often 6 children were raised. The man worked digging canals or cutting peat. In this little hut also lived an animal, usually a goat for milk. If we'll have difficulties with hard times, maybe it is good to think about our ancestors, who were strong enough to survive despite everything. This strenght is in our genes! My direct ancestors were farmers and fishermen, they also worked their ass off and lived in very small houses. I honour my ancestors who survived in tough times!
This information is interesting to me personally, because it mentions my motherland where I was born and raised Rostov-on-Don/Rostov on river Don. My mother’s kin lived there for generations going back no one knows how far.
