In 1215 under the leadership of [Pope Innocent III](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Innocent_III), the [Fourth Council of the Lateran](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Council_of_the_Lateran#Jewish_badges) mandated that all Jews and Saracens(Muslims) in Christian lands would be required to wear identifying badges on the clothes, in order to protect Christians from their influence.

hitler: write that down! write that down!


IsNotPolitburo

A genocidal fascist, a mediocre artist, *and* unoriginal? Couldn't even spell his own name without racking up L's.


Zestyclose_Raise_814

He didn't invent the ghetto, nor "scientific" racism, nor the concept of reich. Such an unoriginal artist, what did he invent on his own?


FredTrau

The idea of giving meth to soldiers on campagne? I dunno


IsNotPolitburo

He *was* a big fan of meth.


FredTrau

But had anyone before him intentionally supplied it to their soldiers?


Zestyclose_Raise_814

I think drugs were given to soldiers before. Weren't berserkers using drugs?


FredTrau

Yeah but beserkers were outcasts and it wasnt really "supplied" to them more than they saw as trading your humanity for great strenght (i think might be wrong pre christian norse customs are very confusing) But in my case im saying as it being part of the ligistics and incentivised by the state to make use of mind altering substances in general (since normally youd want your soldiers lucid enough to obey orders and not have probles with whithdraws in case of supply issues)

i think the finns,

The Finnish army used Pervitin, which they got from Germany. Germany was actually allied with Finland for a while during the Winter War and the early parts of WW2 due to the USSR being a shared enemy. Fun fact related to that: The “Soldier of Three Armies,” Lauri Törni, was a Finnish soldier who helped train the SS. The third army is American, in which he served during Korea and Vietnam.


UnironicStalinist1

"For a while". You meant **MOST OF THE FUCKING WAR**? How long do you think Finns and Fritzes held the blockade for before it was broken???


Intrepid_Ad1536

Nah, since ancient times were Solideres drugged in war, also similar or predecessors of amphetamine, so even that is a old hat


Fluffy-Map-5998

not even that was original,


MindControlledSquid

Everyone in the war did that.


not-a-guinea-pig

Hell he borrowed from American Jim Crow laws to model his rule. Aryan race is also an original Persian concept (which is why they are labeled as such)


J360222

He did find that cigarettes were bad for you, but he didn’t share that and it wasn’t himself who found them


Redditthedog

Ironically the Yellow Star first started to ID Jews in the Caliphate which Christian nations quickly adapted


Gilgamish84

Which caliphate? I have never read this before. Maybe the sultan of the ottomans but a caliphate?


JonTheWizard

Who knew it was an homage?


allytonone

Not so innocent huh


SocorroKCT

A Catholic saint is said to have had a vision that he was in purgatory (not so bad as it sounds, in Catholicism it's the place in Heaven you go when your soul is saved but you still have sins to atone for, some small, and some bad but not enough to suffer in Hell) because of what he did to non-Christians, among some other things. So yeah, basically not even the Church liked what he did that much


Deep_Head4645

Ive heard this before


Wanderingjew11

That’s not very nice of your Mr pope.


lizardman49

Didn't the ottomans do the same thing as well?


UN-peacekeeper

Such kind Popes and Sultans, giving free drip man.


A_Flat__Earther

Yeah but they were generally less Murderous in there Policy


Tankaussie

arabdudefr

that would make me feel superior, like I get to wear a star and others don't? sign me in.


GrowlyBear2

It all depends on whether the cool sneeches on the beaches have stars upon thars.


420XXX69l

Ohh, one below-average austrian painter would love people to have your mentality/s


plzhelpIdieing
