When people get on about this how do they feel about the word crusader
Because if you google for it, you can see a ton of “crusade for [something generally accepted as good]” or “human rights crusader”

The head of the religion department was a wickedly smart guy. Took Church History. He did 3 weeks on the crusades. The crusaders sucked. Got their asses kicked.
and moreover, I feel *much* more strongly about that than in either direction about “intifada”
They elected not to change their name.
Meanwhile physical acts of violence (J6) and threats (political ads with rifle sights, target shooting) get a pass
