Yup, I'm "redpilled" on Jews.

I'm going with the Islamic invasion in Europe and the introduction of Christianity in the Roman Empire (and it's consequent downfall) as the two most damaging Semitic influences across European history. If there's anything of worth from Semitic influence then it's offset by those (and many others) events.

They brought foreign influence, infighting, miscegenation and confusion.

I don't like it one bit. But I'd be saying the same shit about Han culture if the chinks had taken the role Semites took.

I'll never defend Islam. The problem with it is that it sucks. It preaches war and conquest yet it's precepts create societies that systematically lose wars. Try to imagine Iran going to war with orthodox Rusia.

About the Roman Empire... I'm not well versed in it's history, but from what I gather from a quick search, its fall was preceded by feminism and utter debauchery. Rome was already on its way to the bin of failed societies due to a mix of economic and social reasons. Can you cite any sources that prove that the majority of romans were actually practicing a christian way of life? Can you explain how christianity contributed to the fall? I think you're giving it way too much credit.

Tacitus explains how Judeans converted Gentiles. Juvenal and Epictetus talk about conversions meaning repudiation of one's traditions. It was Constantine who favored Christianity over the old Roman religions.

I don't think adopting a foreign religion can ever favor your culture and people. You'd have to distill its concepts to the point they are free from any culture and they become just abstract ideas, which is definitely not the case of Christianity in Europe.

You're right in the fact that they were submerged in depravity. Maybe Christianity was just the final nail in the coffin? Then again, I think it might've stood the chance had it tried to return to their ancestral roots. Weimar Germany was depraved as hell and it was able to return to sane standards, albeit only briefly.
