Red pill me on the Byzantine empireWhy do people make fun of it?
>>18484859It's mostly turks and muds who do, but they are barely human anyway.
Because autists discovered it as this secret Roman Empire, which was hidden from them by the machinations of arrogant Western Gentlemen. And because autists are autists, they treat it literally as the same Roman Empire with all of the great deeds, which gave it eternal glory, despite in many cases standing for the exact opposite values, which made Rome great.It was a very typical degenerate oriental tyrannical dictatorship ruling over subjects, who are closer to slaves than citizens. Ruled by dishonorable mutt people following a very Jewish version of Christianity (more than the others), who had no sense of honor, who preferred to pay for mercenaries or directly pay their enemies than fight a war. The exact kind of state the actual Romans would have loved to dismantle and annex, something Alexander the Great or the other Ancient Greeks would have loved to conquer. The "Barbarian Germanic Latin" West is strictly superior to the Byzantine Empire in every way and it shows.
>>18485027I mean they are still correct, byzantine rome might be one of the worst historical declines ever, but they were still rome, and the germanics still intentionally buried the history to claim royal titles.
Prolly cuz it's a joke like /his/ clowns. Lmao
>>18485029The "Germanics" (West is a better term) didn't intentionally bury them for their own benefit. It's not like they forced themselves to dislike them. That souring relationship happened organically, because of the completely different cultural expectations of the West and the East."Germanics" autistically cared about property rights and are criticized for "border gore". But without that respect for property rights Capitalism could never have been developed. It wouldn't be possible in a tyrannical Empire like the Byzantine one, where one man can just disposes people of their property, because he wills it. This fundamentally different attitude towards inheritence, property, as well as the "assassination is just another means of conducting politics" definitely ruined the relationship between the Byzantines and the West. Or intentionally halting supplies to the Crusaders and undermining them, because "muh balance of power".The West didn't bury the Byzantine Empire as this disastrous, ruinous mess, because of ulterior motives. It happened very organically for very obvious and understandable reasons, which aren't just a front for something else.
>>18485057>It wouldn't be possible in a tyrannical Empire like the Byzantine one, where one man can just disposes people of their property, because he wills it.when did this happen?
>>18484859>Why do people make fun of it?Because kids who obsess about it are annoying.
>>18485027>"Barbarian Germanic Latin" West is strictly superior to the Byzantine Empire in every way and it shows.yea peasant crusade proved German superiority surely! kill and pillage unarmed jews and get deleted the first battle with the seljuks
>>18485077And then the real army showed up and curbstomped that meme empire out of history.
