I can't think of a single society where in material wealth was not the greatest decider of social standing, exempting states were in the government attempted genocide for ideological reasons.

What is the Armenian Genocide?


I refer to you the People’s Crusade.

And my point is yet proven. Those jews with wealth and ties to business were able to save themselves from the violence, while their poorer counterparts were killed.

News of Emicho's crusade spread quickly, and he was prevented from entering Mainz on May 25 by Bishop Ruthard. Emicho also took an offering of gold raised by the Jews of Mainz in hope to gain his favor and their safety.[11] Bishop Ruthard tried to protect the Jews by hiding them in his lightly fortified palace. Nevertheless, Emicho did not prevent his followers from entering the city[11] on May 27 and a massacre followed. Many among the Christian business class (the burghers) in Mainz, had working ties with Jews and gave them shelter from the mobs (as the burghers in Prague had done).[9] The Mainz burghers joined with the militia of the bishop and the burgrave (the town's military governor) in fighting off the first waves of crusaders. This stand had to be abandoned when crusaders continued to arrive in ever greater numbers,[9] and the militia of the bishop together with the bishop himself fled and left the Jews to be slaughtered by the crusaders.

Heresy! It is idolatrous to imply that God literally has a gender or sex like a human being.

Fuck I hate 2019. Almost as much as I hated 2018. Or 2017.

Wow, they really were saved by their wealth, I see.

Sight me an example were material wealth did not overcome the limitations of bigotry in a society.

Emicho was the exception - were in nearly every other crusading army which passed through Germany at the time accepted bribes and moved onward.

In general, the crusader mobs did not fear any retribution, as the local courts did not have the jurisdiction to pursue them past their locality nor did they have the ability to identify and prosecute individuals out of the mob.[9] The pleas of the clergy were ignored on similar grounds (no cases against individuals were brought forward for excommunication) and the mob believed that anyone preaching mercy to the Jews was doing so only because they had succumbed to Jewish bribery.[9] [CM's note: implying necessarily that the mob did not tolerate such mercies or such bribery]

History is repeating CM. Hope you're ready for another Nazi v Commie kerfuffle.

Everyone is racing to the extremes and we as society did too little to stop it when we potentially could have, and even if we tried to reverse course the genie's already out of the bottle. The far left is becoming more and more normalized and I'd argue the far right already has become normalized to most of us.

On the contrary, being able to loan money was quite convenient for the aristocracy and kings of Europe. How else were they to fund their wars (aside from unpopular taxes of course).
