People seemed to be confused about the crusades, saying things like "they didn't go far enough."

To them, I'd like to say: My brother in christ, the crusades ended because they could go no further. They were a failure.

The thing I don't get is how is reliance on foreign oil not a national security thing. Like surely that angle should tickle someone in the American chain of command.

Back when people were saying that unlimited access to knowledge was possible, they were also saying "don't feed the trolls".

When you engage with someone making a stupid statement or argument, you lend them your intellectual legitimacy. You implicitly acknowledge that, "this viewpoint is grounded enough to be worthy of debate". In reality, some viewpoints are so absurd and ridiculous that they are not worthy of debate, and you get a societal benefit from simply laughing at them rather than engaging with them like they are legitimate people that can be persuaded by science and debate.

Stop feeding the trolls.

Crazy is one of the best things to stick your dick in.

Now, "Don't get in a serious relationship with crazy" is some pretty solid advice.

This book explains what happened and why it's still happening pretty well. They've basically created a social bubble that includes rich people and politicians, and excludes everyone else. Now, they're in too deep to admit they were wrong, and fascists are taking advantage of that.
