Along with the Reconquista they're some of the only successful crusades (yes Lithuania survived but they became devout Catholics) and everything about the setting is so cinematic. LWers are maybe a bit sensitive about it because le settler colonialism while RWers get in a fit about it because you have two WHITE peoples butchering each other (wow oh my GOD so horrible I wonder what was going on in the rest of medieval Europe, what Antiquity was about, what was going on constantly pre-1945, and what's still going on in Ukraine). Both perspectives are so amazing whether the Germans with their stark beautiful imposing brick castles/cathedrals or the indigenous pagans fighting in their hillforts and ambushing from the woods. The nature would be so amazing and everything about both sides, about everyone involved, is so inexpressibly fascinating with the Northern Crusades it is such a shame that nobody ever talks about them (understandably so from the perspective of America/England but still c'mon this is cool stuff).

What makes killing other whites for Rabbi Yeshua worse than killing other whites for land or money?
