No sane person would ever say no to free croissants...

[@notmyrealname4]

@@also_arles Really? I guess I'm insane then, cause I'm good on frozen croissants when I could go get fresh, never-frozen ones in less time than it takes to deliver me some, even if it took me all day to drive across town to get them. I guess you can have frozen croissants for when you want them? But you could also just buy frozen croissants at the store since this doesn't forego the need to do that regularly. That is unless you have the other subscription food services you'll need to cover your non-bread needs. One final point, free croissants are never free if you are required to pay for a subscription to get them. They are part of your subscription cost that could have been cheaper if you could elect not to have them, which you of course can't because it's a marketing gimmick/sales tactic. A disappointing sponsor and 'deal' to say the least. I wonder if any of the staff would truly suggest this product to us if their livelihoods didn't depend on it.

[@JohnnyLodge2]

They are not allowed by sponsors to cast Turks as villains. Even the siege of vienna series had a lies discussion casting janissarys as a good thing that didnt matter to the parents of the kidnapped kids at all.

[@Daughterofminerva]

@@JohnnyLodge2 To be honest , the practice of taking children from Christian communites in the Balkans to train them as soldiers sounds bad to our ears but it had its pros. Sure, there was the trauma to be separated from one of your children ( and for the child to be separated from his family), but everyone knew that being recruited could offer great carreer possibilities. Many top generals and admirals of the army , the pasha ( ministers of the Ottoman government) , the governors of the provinces, were originally Balkan kids recruited with this method. We have documents from Venitian ambassadors where they say how strange and humiliating was for them, who were all noblemen, to interact with these men as equals , when everybody knew that they were the sons of shephards and peasants from the Balkans . And these Venitian Ambassadors even reported that these ex- kidnapped kids used to brag about the fact that they had been the sons of peasants snd shephards, and now they were pasha and generals, rich and powerful. Moreover , these men were not forced to completely cut all the ties with their families back to the Balkans. For example, Mehmet Pasha ( nicknamed Sokollu) , the most powerful pasha at the times of Suleiman the Magnificent , used to be a Serbian christian kid. He was recruited with this method in the Balkans when he was a boy, made a splendid carreer, and when he became a powerful pasha he used his influence to create a new orthodox patriarchate in Serbia so that his uncle, who was a member of the orthodox clergy , could become a patriarch ( basically a bishop). Plus , the Ottomans didn't seize kids randomly ,there were some rules . For example it was prohibited to take the only sons, the sons of widows, the children of the orthodox priests . If you speak Italian I would suggest a lecture by professor Alessandro Barbero, a famous Italian medievalist, about how this system of recruitment worked . The title of the lecture is " il Bailo e il Gran Vizir ", you can find it on youtube.

Just so you know how anticlerical Garibaldi was, he was quoted as to say: “If a nation of Satan arose, fighting dictators and priests, I would join its ranks.”

[@rennor3498]

Damn, I wonder from where exactly did he derived this very unconventional radical position.

[@Gennaropacchiano]

​@@rennor3498 My theory is that it's due to the actions of the pope during the war against Austria in 1848. The pope was initially supportive of Italian unification, especially due to the fact that, in the early years, a lot of people wanted Italy to be united as a loose federation of states led by the pope. However, the Pope eventually changed his mind once they had to find Austria, a country that was strongly catholic. His withdrawal from the war led to the kingdom of Naples to withdraw as well, leaving Sardinia alone. I guess he saw this as an act of betrayal. Another, much simpler theory is that this was simply a byproduct of the enlightenment ideas, which greatly influenced him. Many forget that the early liberals were VERY anti catholic.

[@OrdonWolf]

@@rennor3498 The Papal States committed a massacre in my city in 1859. It was only the last of a centuries-spanning series of rebellion attempts drowned in blood to make an example of what happens to cities that oppose the pope's rule. So anticlerical sentiment really wasn't(isn't) as uncommon as you might think.

There's a lot of additional history behind Napoleon III's desire to get involved in Italy. For several centuries, France had constantly worked to put pro-French rulers on the throne of Italian states, and had fought a number of war to expand their influence there, often against the Austrian Hapsburgs. One of the main actions of the Congress of Vienna was to establish Austrian dominance over northern Italy specifically to cut off that avenue of French expansion. So Napoleon III was happy to seize upon any avenue he could find to restore French influence in Italy, especially if he could do it while making France look like the defender/liberator rather than the aggressor.
