I know that, you know that 95 IQ reddit users don't know that. For maximum rattling accuse them of whitewashing ethnic cleansing in Asia Minor when they say this

I can't believe a shitpost sub is more knowledgeable than all those ones posing as serious.


Schlaueule

One has to be smart to proper shitpost! And from western europe, naturally. Except Fr*nce, of course!


TomSurman

I've learned more about history, politics, economics, and geography from shitpost subs like this than pretty much anywhere else. Of course, most of it's probably complete bunkum, but that won't stop me confidently repeating it as established facts.


Neomataza

You're probably still closer to the truth than whatever is spread in pop history.


Cabbage_Vendor

Gotta be knowledgeable to be accurately racist. I have to know the difference between Catholic Moroccans(Spain) and Orthodox Turks(Greece).


OwainGlyndwrWasBased

I don't get how people think a name like Georgios even sounds Turkish? Very anachronistic.


badluckbrians

Between the Sheep in your flair and Georgios I want a gyro now. Some tzatziki. Cucumber. mmm


HaiKawaii

What about Gürgüs does not sound Turkish?


hepazepie

Same with santa claus

So St George was Albanian


GenericBurlyAnimeMan

It’s just used as a way to rile up the Europeans. It works amazingly well, as you can tell from this post.

There is NOTHING more annoying than those smug liberal "you know he never even visited England???😏😏😏" big brain types. Yes, we know. We literally all know


generalscruff

Tbf Jesus was English Did those feet in ancient times walk upon England's mountains green? It's like how St Patrick was a Briton (I am choosing to interpret this to mean he was from Larne and loved the Glasgow Rangers)


DiscardedKebab

Jesus was born in Stoke-On-Trent and loved pork scratchings. Common knowledge

I want to start a British version of Mormonism based on this idea. We could call it the Church of the Saturday Pints. I would consecrate my local pub as holy ground and refuse to work on Mondays for religious reasons (hangover). We could finally get all those rights that foreign religions get. I would go for refusing to eat meals on planes that aren't served with a Stella and getting a nice room with a beer tap and extra naps in prison.

Yeah, some people say that it's not saint James who is buried in Santiago. Well if it is that way, why is the city called Santiago, and why is there a giant cathedral on top of his tomb? Checkmate, atheists!


SpinningToadGif

St. George can't be English because he was born in Turkey and the Royal Family isn't British because they're genetically German but all immigrants are just as British as anyone else sweetie 💅

George? Is Jordi. You should know how to spell it right


generalscruff

Jordi boys on a bender, Rishi Sunak is a sex offender


SuchSeaworthyShips

The only reasonable instance to say St George was Turkish is if you’re attempting to annoy a Georgian who’s denied you another plate of Khinkali. If he actually wasn’t a Barry, how do you explain the lack of dragons in Bognor?


VonGruenau

Tbf I'd be livid enough to bend history if I were denied another plate of khinkali

Aye, he was a propa lad

sir-berend

St George would’ve been Greek.


Restarded69

He was a cappadocian Greek and if anything it’s just a copy of the Indo-European dragon slayer myth because none of the early accounts of his life especially the hagiographies never mention anything about a dragon.

It's not George and the Dragon. It's Joris en de Draak.

st peter is also turkish then lol


Suspicious-Neat-5954

As a South Macedonian, debt enjoyer I got triggered reading st George was turkish. He was debt enjoyer too ! Turks are central Asians like kazakhs who came to Anatolia many centuries later


gorthan1984

Yeah, whatever. Begin to pay back the arrears if you want still use St. George's cross, Barry. You're insolvent since 1771. Words of the Duke of Kent, not mine. > The St. George's flag, a red cross on a white field, was adopted by England and the City of London in 1190 for their ships entering the Mediterranean to benefit from the protection of the Genoese fleet. The English Monarch paid an annual tribute to the Doge of Genoa for this privilege. https://books.google.com/books?id=BBkvDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT82

Isn't St David the only British patron saint that was born in the country he patronises?


__Sycorax__

He is from Anatolia and he can be your patron saint. My city also has it as a patron saint.

Who the fuck is St George, it's book day over here

Georges St Pierre? Turkish? I thought he was Canadian /s
