This rebellion is one of the stupidest things in history. Some idiot thought Jesus was his brother. Millions and died and it caused irreparable damage to the thousands year old civilization and hardly anybody even knows about it.

Literally just read this a month ago because of some anon's recommendation. It's so fucking good. The end about made me cry because of how depressing it was though so brace yourself.

The Taiping are unironically the good guys despite the whacky religion. Learn about Shi Dakai, the Four Eyed Dog, Li Xiuchen, and Hong Rengan before you write them off.

Except the guys forcing you to wear the gay ass haircut were killing like 5 times the amount of civilians and were run by an incompetent hedonist at the start and a child being manipulated by his literal whore mother and beta cuck uncle in what may have been the most corrupt dynasty in history.

>may have been the most corrupt dynasty in history.

>"not as bad as" justification

>>3070165
Every government can be described as "not as bad as" the alternative. Do you even study history?

>>3070103
and don't forget
>if you break the law you will be turned into "a celestial lamp" which just means burned at the stake while still alive

FYROM thinking they are descendants of Alexander the Great is also really dumb LARPing.
