So I learned that the Spanish Inquisition was more than likely exaggerated by protestants to use as a beating stick against the Catholic Church, what other events were exaggerated for Political reasons?

Literally all of them.

Nanjing, especially because it was a legit massacre turned into a PRC propaganda fanfict.

Ethnic unrest in Austria-Hungary. There was barely anything other than the Serbs going apeshit, but Entente propaganda made it sound like every single ethnicity wanted their own country (which is something that Entente pushed for).
>>938982
That was preceding WW1 right?
The King Street Incident/"Boston Massacre" quickly comes to mind.
The events thereof were heavily twisted, and the notion of innocent protestors being mercilessly gunned down by barbaric soldiers was very much propagated.
Pic related, anti-Imperial propaganda from the period
>>939076
Yes, I'm talking about 1867-1914.
>>937654
Probably, that way you won't be forced to defend your position.
>>939082
Form what I know it is hypothesized that the protesters may have started it
I was going to say the wholesale rape of German women and girls at the end of WW II but it turns out it wasn't exaggerated
>>939101
literal rape by whom, the Allies?
>>939107
Mostly the Russians and to a smaller extent the Americans.
>>939134
are there any sources to confirm?

rape is a social construct hyped b feminists

>he thinks that someone dying for a belief makes them real
So is Buddhism real because of the monks who have set themselves on fire to protest government-sponsored Buddhist persecutions/oppression? Or the Heaven's Gate, because they castrated and killed themselves in the belief that they would be saved?
Your reasoning isn't very sound.
>>939366
>So is Buddhism real
Yes the religion is real?
If you're asking if it's true because they died for a belief then you've just stuck words right into my mouth and you know I didn't say that. Reread my sentence and find the actual point of contention

6 gorillian Taoists were showerovened by me in my house last Tuesday. The house still stands and my mates Gary and Larry will support this statement
>>937508
>So the Catholic Church told me they weren't really all that bad, and those 68,000,000 people they murdered were better off dead.
Some people today still don't know this:
>However, in the Renaissance there was a brilliant, uncanny reawakening of the classical ideal, of the noble method of valuing everything: Rome itself woke up, as though from suspended animation, under the pressure of the new, Judaic Rome built over it, which looked like an ecumenical synagogue and was called 'Church': but Judea triumphed again at once, thanks to that basically proletarian (German and English) ressentiment-movement which people called the reformation, including its inevitable consequence, the restoration of the church, - as well as the restoration of the ancient, tomb-like silence of classical Rome. In an even more decisive and profound sense than then, Judea once again triumphed over the classical ideal with the French Revolution: the last political nobility in Europe, that of the French seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, collapsed under the ressentiment-instincts of the rabble, - the world had never heard greater rejoicing and more uproarious enthusiasm!
>True, the most dreadful and unexpected thing happened in the middle: the ancient ideal itself appeared bodily and with unheard-of splendour before the eye and conscience of mankind, and once again, stronger, simpler and more penetrating than ever, in answer to the old, mendacious ressentiment slogan of priority for the majority, of man's will to baseness, abasement, levelling, decline and decay, there rang out the terrible and enchanting counter-slogan: priority for the few. Like a last signpost to the other path, Napoleon appeared as a man more unique and late-born for his times than ever a man had been before, and in him, the problem of the noble ideal itself was made flesh - just think what a problem that is: Napoleon, this synthesis of Unmensch (brute) and Ubermensch (overman) ...

there's no need to exaggerate anything the russians do or did, the truth is bad enough
>>939778
Yes, there's no way anyone could kill that many people over many centuries.
Oops, there totally is.
>>939914
The inquisition victims number in like 10 000 over 500 years. That's fucking nothing.
>>937508
The Inquisition was indeed not that "bad". They didnt kill ppl and burn witches by dozens. It was more like a regulation since most of the witches at that time (to keep that example) werent killed by the Inquisition but by villagers.
>>939929
Fewer, maybe a few thousand at most
>>939929

The irony is that witch hunting was endemic in protestant countries. In scotland alone, there would be several hundreds of "witch prickers" roaming the countryside, who would stab women with a knitting pin until they stopped crying, at which point they were considered guilty and condemned. The most evil part of this is the pricks themselves only earned a few shillings as part of their job. They must have genuinely loved their craft.
This also answers the question as to why a confession was so important to the inquisition. In Scotland no confession was needed. You could kill anyone you liked as long as a priest and charlatan went along with it. You could even doctor the bible to support your bloodthirst. And Scotland was only a minor protestant country. The tip of the iceberg.
>>940005
Catholics killed witches too, especially in Germany, but the thing is witch trials aren't medieval like it's commonly believed. They're a rennaisance / early modern period thing.

>>940048
Virtually every protestant in the reformation period was Catholic before he converted, I'm not sure what you're even trying to say.
>>940043
i guess in a very basic way yes, that land was rightfully taken though
>>940053
As an alternative, I propose killing those such as you.
>>939256
nigga during all of history rape is part of the deal
it's one of the only incentives to become a soldier, if you fail your wife and daughters will be raped and turned into sex slaves for the opponents. if you win you get to rape as much as you want. name one fucking occupation before WW2 where the women weren't considered free rape
>>940066
I can't

That you're following a Catholic friar. An evil, virulently anti-semetic Catholic friar.

>>939096
They definitely did, but in an indirect way. Some of the protesters/participants were engaged in a fight between Regulars and some rope makers prior to the "massacre." They were all pissed off after that brawl and it drove them to assault the private outside the customs house.
>>939082
Kinda reminds me of the BLM group.
>>937508
>muh indian small pox blankets!
Literally never happened. Just one french guy wrote one letter saying "my friends neighbors moms bosses uncles son heared that the british were giving them small pox blankets!"
Never mind how retarded and impracticable that idea is in the 1700s
>>940454
pretty much is. In fact, the bong soldier were found innocent. They were defend by John Adams in court as well. Even though Johns cousin and jack black look alike Sam Adams was the one spreading the word of how blood thirst and gory the evil massacre was
>>940487
someone threw a rock and it hit a guard and he dropped his gun which fired, so the rest fired as well.
Also there was confusion because the crowd kept daring them by shouting "FIRE!" and along with the gun shot, they thought their commander ordered them to fire

You have no power over us Black pope
Protestants wounded the beast when men began to translate the scriptures from Latin to English. It took authority away from rome, we are the temple of God and God walks and talks in us as his word, which is not the scriptures or versions but is his voice and spirit, that became flesh.

I'd heard the smallpox blankets myth was fabricated in the 1960's.

proof of the terrorist violence inherent in cathlics
and you still deny the murderous inquisition
>>937508
The Inquisition actually was the fairest tribunal back then. Read De Maistre's comments on the issue.
It was mostly set up to fuck jews up, while preventing them from using their political power to escape the divine punishment --- the Inquisition's court was separated from the judicial power, yet remained a monarchic institution.
>>940468
I'm pretty sure there was one guy in a fort under siege by indians who gave them contaminated blankets as party of a peace agreement. He specifically wrote in a letter that he hoped that would wipe out the entire race, although that sentiment was definitely not uncommon among settlers and military officials at the time.
As far as blankets as a primary method of spreading smallpox though yeah total bullshit.

Nah mate probably just got asked to go to church with his family on Christmas instead of playing Nintendo, leading to a life of hatred for all theism because he daddy wouldn't let him play Mario kart for a few more hours.

The general populace yes, the upper classes no.
Same with industrialization and capitalism, it royally fucked the general populace, empoverish them and downgraded the standard of living as well as destroyed the cohesion of local communities. For the upper classes it was a winning lottery ticket.
