"...the Greeks attacked the city of Troy."

>Like dude why don't Ancient Greeks have the same values as 21st century Anglo-America lol?
Is green the ultimate historical charlatan?

He's a pop-historian, mostly centered on profit and reaching out to a wide audience, unlike academicians. Like in many other cases, adding "pop" to something significantly reduces its quality.

I like K Pop more than Korea tho.

That's because you're a pleb.

Well, how was it either?

>Ancient Romans enslaved their Syrian neighbors who abhorred slavery and instead employed people in their service

What did John Green mean by this?

he made no money out of it and the information was provided by his old history teacher

>Spreading stupidity isn't bad

I'm kind of conflicted, on one hand we in modernity have realized that values in the past differed and that you can't directly apply contemporary values to the past but on the other hand this itself IS a modern value so it is really only going to be one pf the lenses through which history will be analysed, isn't the conclusion then that we can understand why people did things the way they did in the past but still find some of their practises abhorrent? Wouldn't staying silent about it be somewhat condoning or tolerating it?

Ordained, albeit haphazardly by the pope
Therefore holy.
For a large part the official faith was under the fold of the holy roman see , the pope. Therefore roman.
Incorperated territories that would not normally have been a part of it by means of annexation.
Therefore an empire.

He meant he doesn't know what syrians were/are.

Lmao

>papists
>holy

his fucking video on Alexander the Great holy shit why

>proddie
>thinks that the heretics are the rest

>Holy
Sanctioned by the religious leader of Christendom
>Roman
Originated in the East Francian Kingdom, a Franco-Roman Kingdom on conquered German territory, sanctioned by the ruler of the City of Rome, controlled northern Italy periodacilly
>Empire
Ruled by a feudal Emperor

this triggers the voltairecucks

Why does the Catholic Church still own Rome when its suppose to belong to the Romans and their descendants and not some religious club?

Incorrect use of neither. "Neither," like "either," denotes two options.

He should have said "...was not Holy, nor Roman, nor an empire."

> still own Rome

You mean the "city" of Vatican?

K-Pop is cancer.

"Military history is just naming battles and is super boring."

John Green is one of the stupidest cunts to ever live. I wish him nothing but suffering and misfortune.

>holy
Stopped being holy in 1517.

>roman
Eh, still a massive LARP.

>empire
Stopped being an empire after it became a federal monarchy of a million little duchies and principalities. Oh and if the HRE is an empire the 30 years war is a civil war.

>the 30 years war is a civil war.
correct

>The evil Europeans raped and killed BILLIONS
>the mongols were bringers of peace and trade
