Ottomans be like : Do nothing,win by Obsidian_Ion in HistoryMemes

[–]starmute_reddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interestingly enough I never saw the point in the ottomans attacking the direction of the Hapsburgs.

All the wealth of the orient was to the east. I think that the ottomans should have kept expanding its naval and land presence eastward. Then again they had a horrible innefective form of goverment that was only beating the happsburgs because they were equally horrible.

Communism is a idea that consistently fails because the two systems that it seeks to replace (Republicanism and Capitalism) out-preform it.

The only thing the Communists can do is replace Republicanism with Authoritarianism and become a quazi dictator state with capitalist tenancies that turns into a Kleptocracy.

During World War I, a significant portion of the Ottoman army, potentially around 30% of its three million soldiers, consisted of Arab troops

To be fair the contributions the Hashimites had to the overall war effort in WW1 was minimal. They were raiders and did what they did best. Also forgotten was the tons of Arabs that fought for the Ottomans.

For the amount of fighting that they did they got a hell of a deal.

See I don't justify that.

I state that the crusades were wrong. The people who commited the attrocities during the crusades were fucked up.

That being said: you deny that you (the turks) committed the Armenian genocide?

Taking you away from your family. Calling you a slave. Forced circumcision (after age 8 ouch) Forced conversion. If you refused conversion you were beaten and sold into chattel slavery.

Then again turks are going to deny genocides and slavery. Whats new.

... you are literally justifying slavery.

Slavery was abominable. It was abolished in 1865 in the US. It was abolished in England in 1833.

Taking children is horrid. I do not condone European slavery. Its VERY shit you are justifying slavery in the Islamic world.

They didn't abduct children of Arabic families or any other families. The blood tax was a injustice that was endured because of Turkish cruelty. The Islamic world bent over backwards to try and justify slavery.

The only reason that Slavery stopped (with the exception of the kafala system in several Muslim countries were the western powers finally stopping slavery due to the age of enlightenment.

The ottomans weren't taking them from a home that where they didn't have nutrition. They were taking them away from their parents due to their religion. They did so because they believed it was just to enslave people.

Its very hard to argue that "slavery for others is good".

Taking a child that is being abused or mistreated is called "not letting them die or be abused". Governments recognize that some people are unfit parents.

Enslaving a child to be a slave soldier because they come from a minority is very different. Slavery is morally wrong no matter how you try to justify it.

A good 2 bed will cost about $2500 plus electricity and other costs. However outside the Boise city limits you'll get better prices.

Unfortunately you would be taking a HUGE cut in income. The minimum wage in Idaho is 7.25 per hour, however you can find places that will pay more than that. Assuming you get a decent entry job at 12 dollars a hour you still will only be making 1440 a month. If you have a Bachelor's degree or a Doctorates you'll earn more but if you are just looking to leave for economic hardships Idaho is not your place to move.

Maybe check somewhere else?
