Mongolian or Roman imo

Mongo
Neither
Do chatgpt instead
The Umayyad Empire bc they destroyed both
Didn't they exist before th Mongolian empire
Yah but after they collapsed a new empire was born and destroyed the mongolians after they attacked them
The Abbasids came after them and they got defeated by the Mongols tho
Even tho that doesn't mean they won actually they were very defeated after Battle of Ain Jalut and many other battle but this one it was there biggest lose ever which made them retreat for the first time
Yh the Mongols lost against the mamluk sultanate in Egypt, tho it didn't fall entirely since I just broke into diff empires
Mamluk is separate to Umayad and Abbasid tho
Yep
You could search it
Oh and let's not forget they got abbasides when they were weak and at the end of there time
Didn't some move to central Asia and Iran tho, two of I think it was 4 main empires after the Mongol empire separated
Ok then you would know it was infect a big loss for the mongols
Ofc since all empires will fall in some way or another
The Roman was definitely the most civilized one and the most advanced for the time, and it's the one that built the most wonders and magnificent structures. The mognols were only good ay killing people. They sucked at everything else. But the best imo is the British empire. Controlled a quarter of the world, abolished sl@very and forced many other nations to stop sl@very too without ever asking for anything back. Brought civilization to most countries that were still stuck to the ancient times (they obv did a lot of bad things too which I condemn, but that was the good ones they did)
They were in deeeeeep conflict i wouldn't wish that on any country today
So do u mean that in cos they wanted more lands they became Muslim? Or for other factors
I mean the start of it also involved that since they defeated the Umayyads through battle
So you're a supporter of the British empire💀 that's wild
Ahh that makes sense
Have you read the entire thing at least?

Can you show me the exact point were I said I support it?
Yh I did, and I don't rly think the Romans were exactly 'civilised' mainly cos of the many wars that they waged, then again I feel like that word doesn't fit for any empire
True and that's why it was a big loss bc it even stopped the Mongols from stepping a foot on Africa and it was bug for muslim back than bc of how Baghdad fall
In many ways yes
U said they abolished sl@very which is a completely wrong take, European empires literally thrived off it
It's rather your points which sound like u do instead of the take, which I agree is strong
"Civilized" meaning they had te BEST bureaucracy of the time. They were extremely advanced in managing and controlling the places they conquered. That's how they lasted almost 2000 years
Yeah, but they were too divided. The Macedonians were good, but Alexander was too busy chasing dreams than being realistic
Yes but who defeated them were Kharijites we call them today terrorists and they ruled the country and ppl were mad that such ppl ruled them
LMFAO. The British empire is the FIRST EVER EMPIRE to abolish sl@very and FORCE OTHERS to do so. READ A FUCKING HISTORY BOOK
Ok so I did decide to check online for the definition of that word since there would be diff takes, but I thought it was mainly 'a refined, cultural and orderly behaviour' which is exactly what they claimed to be
I didn't say they mever practiced it. I said they ABOLISHED IT
They didn't abolish it
Which if you have ever read a history book, you'd know it's true
How abt calm down instead of screaming
Yes they did you ignorant
Don't bother this guy is full of shit he blocked me saying he doesn't want me to be near he's life
Why? You blatantly lie
I got no respect for those that deny history
Ok then
Just cuz they don't like who did what they wanted to happen
🫤

Whats happening
Britain itself was one of the biggest beneficiaries of the sl..e trade before its abolition.
🥲
LMAO
1807: the British Empire abolishes the sl@ve trade
1833: they abolished it across the entire empire (which means across a quarter of the world)
On 1807 they created the West African Squadron, a naval fleet that stopped sl@ve ships and freed sl@ves.
Byzantines were romans though. Although yes, I agree with you that they were influenced by hellenics.
Ok

Yes. And why did they call themselves that? Because the romans came there, conquered them, and "romanized" them and assimilated the Greek culture (which they considered equal as theirs)
MT Wolf u need to calm down
In ur anger
Yes and no. I agree that it doesn't automatically make them that culture. But Greece stayed under the roman empire for over 1000 years. That makes the roman culture (at that time obv, not afer the fall of Constantinople) their main culture at the time of the Byzantine empire
I would calm down, if the people I talk with wouldn't deny history just because it was a western power and white men that did something good for once. But you only have to wsit for netflix to hear about it, and it'll be blacks and chineses that stopped it🤣
Wow
How surprising
Still if ur debating in something u dont have to use anger and agression in it when People are trying to debate
You dont only have opinions
Everyone Else does too
This is not a war sone
Qiqi he'll ban you after this 😂 😂
He did it to me
Wdym
He will ban you just like he did with me
Ur still here?
I am still here always
Idc if i am blocked
I Will defend my friend
Ok valid
If someone is having agression towards them
True friends do so
Well ofc. And just like they have the right to ignore, belittle or even insult my opinion, I have the right to do the same
So whats the point being mad
Aggressive as hell
Its not fun to debate if ur gonna be mad
Sure all parties can be wrong but you can speak about it calmy
If you have problem what they said
And what's the point of being respectful towards someone that clearly don't respect me enough to be intellectually honest? I have respect only with those that are respectful to me
Where did u be disrespectful
People can be wrong yes
We can agree but it dont mean anger solves
Then u both fix mistakes
And be good again
I didn't agree with those points, it sounded like supportive points to me
I'm British, I'm against anything good said abt them so yh I'm a bit biased🫤
Nah, I consider the same since they were actual descendants of the true roman empire (far more than the Holy Roman Empire was). And regarding ethnicity, yeah they were still quite similar indeed, before the muslims invaded them.
Did you look up things
Before debating or learnt
I've read abt the British empire a lot
Such a perfect example of a good citizen

Things they do, what they forced on others, their idea of 'civilised'
So then lets say both have mistakes
And only way to find error
Is discuss
What was wrong ect
In meanings
Just cos I'm a citizen doesn't mean I'm gonna agree with what they did
In terms of being smart and calculative I will say Roman empire
Tho they were terrible to non romans...,
So best for themselves
Worst for others
Lets talk this calmly
That's fine but if someone decides to scream over a debate then I found it pointless to do so
I suggest you don't argue with this guy so he won't take your valuable time out of this life
So u both speak out what went wrong
And solve issue
Do you think it was better if the people they conquered kept living in huts, with no running water, no medications, high infant mort@lity, sl@very, etc...?
(Regardless of all the other barbarities they did, which I condemn like you do)
If it works
If not then ignore eachother if it wont work
Yh I'm gonna try and keep it short since I gotta go off soon
Yes. But you should also be intellectually honest enough to recognize all the good things they did too, instead of only the bad ones
That's how history works, everyome is good and bad at the same time
If u mean Africa then acc they were very advanced and had many large flourishing empires, tho I haven't researched it much so I just have very basic knowledge but they weren't living in the stone age
Every place conquered by Romans (like it happened with every other civilization) was heavely influenced by them. So indirectically yeah, lkke it was also conquered and influenced by arabs too
There barely did anything good but fine
Like which empire? Which one had the same level of any 1700s European or Asian civilization, please?
Lkke the Magna Charta?
I just said I didn't research abt them
To name the most basic example
That's more specifically England and it's king during that time
Yet you clearly know very little about history. Easy to say "they were all bad" when the average "empire" in africa at the time, except the Ethiopian one, had the same level of technology of Europe before Christ, so almost 1000 years behind the rest of the world
Oh, if you see it that way I agree with you. I thought you meant that they weren't influenced too

Abt African history yes but you're trying to debate me on smth I clearly said I didn't research, but I did research the British empire
Did it work
Idk
Are we friend ly now
I gotta go for smth
Okay see u
I Will watch youtube
Oh, so you didn't research on them, but yet you clearly stated that they were "still had advanced empires"
Bye-bye
you see? This is the disrespect I was talking about. They claim they didn't research, yet they jave no problem being intellectually dishonest and claiming the false
Which is when the respect goes out of the window
Ok there is no disrespect in that
Nothing goes out of the window
So what happend is like confusion in it and they prob thought u Meant something else
Can happen
Buddy i think this is your favorite (
)
Like IK not everyone remember history
And stuff need knowledge
But it can be confusing
If they think u mean something Else
So i dont think they Meant to disrespect u
Just had confused something with something else
The problem is no one could be disrespected about such thing 😂
People have different tollerance lvls
Like example i get offended ez
And they did not mean it that way
So we have to communicate and what went wrong
It can happen
Am srry but if you get offended by someone saying something that is false and you knowing it's false is disrespectful to you like even if ppl have different opinions all could agree you have a problem
For mt wolf
People view things different
Dosent mean People are bad
But they have diff lvls
In things
Which can Come crashing
Into an arguement
I agree but even tho you know she said something false most ppl will agree on that so why think it's disrespectful
Tru
Every human being is different
Remember that
Something is Just more offensive
To others
It is how IT is
And i agree but a healthy human being could not be so sensitive about false facts maybe she meant something else but he took that personally and he did the same with me so i think he has a problem fr the last time before he blocked me he was talking about how muslim shouldn't pray in the streets and that it was he's street and he could do what ever he wants
Huts were culture and not all their homes are mere but invalid
Most indigenous people and Africans and Asians had wonderful civilization before Romans came to mess things up
So this is invalid
Most 3rd world countries were never like this before if not for their conquerors selfishness
IK she Meant something Else prob so i tried fix
Misunderstanding
Lets see if it Will be better
Your a good friend qiqi fr
Maybe
I forgot they have ask
Pronouns
Who
Sometimes People misunderstand people
Mag
Part of human nature
Is she she or they them
Idk im trying lol
Trying is what makes you a good friend
Ask pronouns it was
Maybe
Idk much about friendship
Well in friendships a good friend trys everything for he's friend even trying is good
No. Give proof of what actually haplened, and show others that they were acting dishonestly by claiming the false without knowing the truth. So that others can easely see who they really are
Ye maybe
Are you being serious, this situation can be handled calmy, dont wish bad upon others, only communication and seeing wrong and apoligize for it is best solutions and be on good terms again
And how is that disrespectful that's the thing you can't answer bc you blocked me for the same claim
BOTH sides
You blocked me saying not to be near your life
Sure give them time to say they were wrong and u are also wrong for using anger instead of thinking like
Maybe they misunderstood me
Should i help them understand better
Maybe the situation could been handled differently
True i agree
But idt understanding is he's cup of tea
Ye
I learn that
Being on good terms again is good
If u have misunderstandings
I forgot i was gonna watch youtube


Thay's not how I handle intellectually dishonest people
I just shame them since they do not deserve respect from me
You'll call me bad and all mames of the book, but yk they would do the same to me anyway, so why being good to them if they cannot be capable of doing the same?
thats not ridiculous to say tha
Ok I have a friend who's read a lot into African civilizations so if u want I can forward that info
So u say Just bc People do errors they are not Worthy?
Ill be good to those i speak with that's different
Thats why u have to talk it out
No, why purposely distorting my words?
I said if someone acts dishonestly, which they did, since they admitted to not researhing what they were saying and yet they still denied history, they will not get respect from me
Suit ur self
Ig
I'm talking abt not reading into Africa and also they did have empires😐
I did basic research abt it
Maggie i swear this can't be more funny 😭
This is making me sad💔
Sadness🥲
Am depressed already
Ofc they did. But having an empire doesm't mean they had am equal level of civilization than other empires had
Yes also depression
Dont be not everyone Will like u fr
Js be happy Who you are
Do u want the info I got from my friend who knows abt it or not
I asked them specifically since they wouldn't have agreed with your take
Oh no thanks, I trust basic research rather than words from "a friend that knows" (still, I'm not denying that your friend doesn't know about it
)
There's references to it
Dude, do you realize that you have made your personal mission to be present in every take I am in just to belittle me in front of others. ONLY BECAUSE O said that I did forgive you but that I didn't want to unblock you because I was good not seeing your messages. Like I feel honored that I'm living rent free in your head😂
People can know
Be Nice to eachother
Im done
I was here before you even talked man and now it's confirmed you actually see my messages 😂
Y R U here💔
U enjoying the show🥲
It's gone so bye bye
Lol
Same ngl
Bro thinks he's important i don't care about you man am just here to watch and see if anyone's is right and no your not living in my head rent free bc i don't care about what you say but you said some wild stuff already so am here to see if they were right and stand to who is saying the truth
The same guy who refused to unblock me all tho i made a whole post apologizing to him bowing my head to the ground and saying am srry just bc i felt like we started on the wrong foot and i said am srry but i didn't do anything wrong but i said am srry bc i wanted to be a better person and apologize is i did anything wrong but apparently it's not good enough for mr mtwolf who refused to unblock me saying ( i don't want him near my life)
Like i was thr devil or something
I say just don't apologise to others, it's tiring and a waste of time especially when they don't acc forgive (I've gone through my own fair share of that shit)
Why would you care if he blocked you or not 🤦
That doesn't make u evil or anything
If am wrong ill definitely apologize
Ofc it's fine but it's no point dwelling on it, especially if it still makes u feel bad even after u apologised meaningfully
Bc he said i forgive you but he didn't unblock me it's like a homeless man asking for money but you refuse giving him money saying you will be better someday
As I had said in the other post too, I had forgiven you and told you that I didn't have hate in my hearth towards you. But that I wouldn't unblock you because I was better without seeing your messages. Apparently the only thing you can't do us accept that I had no more problems with you, and insead of just letting go of the fact that I didn't want to interact with you anyway, you took it personally for no reason
Alr ill close it and move on ill take it as a lesson
Mate that's literally what ppl will say sometimes so it's best to just ignore it and don't give a shit abt whoever it is (I'm speaking from experience)
Will do
Does him blocking you stop you from getting oxygen...?
Just keep going on with your life omy...
"Who is saying the truth", yet you didn't have the honesty to tell Maggie that she was wrong for denying that the British banished the sl@ve trade amd actively tried to stop it, while I provided historical proof. Yet you didn't say a thing when she simply ignored it and didn't apologize for saying the false
I did accept but you respond was not so forgiving saying i don't want him near my life like damn man what did i do that was so bad you didn't want me near your life
Y'all keep calling me a she when I never mentioned my gender
I'm not gonna say sorry for that lol
Also I barely attacked u
Exactly. He just couldn't accept it. What if I hadn't been honest and simply kept him blocked without him knowing?
Well your name is Maggie and it's a female name soooo
That's not my real name
All am saying you could've answered better
It's a food noodles brand
Damn ok unknown mysteries i like it
Oh...
Lol yh
Because you have different beliefs than I do. I have no hate for you, but I also have no desire to share my presence with someone that has different views from me
It was the way he said it that pissed me off
All I'm saying is that you could have moved on instead of acting like a kid and never letting it go
It's y refers to me as they, I don't mention it
And all am saying is you could've answered better but you decided i wasn't a good person to the point you didn't want me near your life
So you have no problem with the fact that you were saying the false even though I proved that you were being wrong, AFTER YOU ASKED ME PROOF TO BACK MY TAKE?
Why does my belief determine my conversation with someone it's discord everyone here has different beliefs
Oh hi i didn't see you
Again not because you're not a good person, but because you have views incompatible with mine. As I said, I didn't have hate for you. I simply do not stay around people that have views that are against mine
That's the whole point of discord is to talk to different ppl
Damn why ??
I did not mentions it i tried to fucking help and u point me put as the bad person
Mhmmm ok
No I didn't mean it in a bad way QiQi, I was talking abt my gender
Because that's how I decided to choose who I surround myself with. If I want to block someone that has values that hare against mine so that I don't have to see their blabbering every day(not you obv, it's a generic example), I have every right to do so
I'm me, who are you?
No I didn't say that
You couldn't just ignore them
I fixed my wronging wish i did wrong and i dont was pointing at u when apoligize i Said it would be better if u both was good terms
Bur it dosent matter
No I'm glad u tried to calm it down, I just don't like saying sorry to ppl but I'm not saying u did anything wrong
You asked me for proof and said it was false that the British empire abolished sl@very and forced others around the world to do the same withojt ever asking for compensation for all the men losts. Again, you are being dishonest. do you jnderstand now why I had no desire to be respectful towards something like them?
I do so by blocking them. But apparently you had a problem with me doing so
Nice to meet you
Still why is that disrespectful am trying to understand your point of view false of information is spreading in the whole world as we speak
I do not think that at all
The British empire didn't abolish it, wait a sec I'll forward some info
Not with you blocking me the way you accepted my apology ill see it as miss understand from me and ill ignore it
Then why i was pointed like villan when i tried my best helping situation
How is it not disrespectful to engage in a debate knowing that you are lying only to disagree? I have other words to describe that, but they are a bit more offensive.
Kinda disrespectful
Fine if u guys dont want peace ur choice dont involve me
True me too plz am only here for the apology
Can I talk to u in DMS? This is a misunderstanding and I didn't mean it that way
Leave it I can't find it
Idc anymore
1807: they abolished the sl@ve trade.
1833: they abolished sl@very itself across all the British empire.
Learn to read a fucking book you illitterate liar and dishonest fucker
It's good man/woman/alien/unknown/Maggie
OK YOU PROVED YOU'RE POINT IDC ANYMORE LEAVE ME ALONE U POS
I'm done interacting with someone that has no problem lying like that. I already know what kind of "British" you are
See? It wasn't so hard to say you were wrong instead of doubling down on your lies😂
It was really that easy
Ig
Oh, I forgot /Noodles
Oh well, hope you enjoy your meal😂 
Call me however you want, idc
