The only thing melting down is your ability to influence this Sub in any way other than making them all hate you unanimously because of how much of a faggot you are πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

You're not even trying to be witty or anything, you're just circlejerking. How does it feel literally karma whoring, like, actually just being a human who cares enough to type multiple comments for no purpose except to draw a nearby majority's attention to the fact that you agree with them?

I love arcane bureaucracies but only if I can watch and laugh at the proceedings.

Being a Wikipedia editor is like being the internet janitor of internet janitors. Let’s just say they’re special.

You found my guilty pleasure.

Janissaries.

They began as an elite corps of slave soldiers made up of kidnapped young Christian boys who were converted to Islam, and became famed for internal cohesion cemented by strict discipline and order. Unlike typical slaves, they were paid regular salaries. Forbidden to marry or engage in trade, their complete loyalty to the Sultan was expected. By the seventeenth century, due to a dramatic increase in the size of the Ottoman standing army, the corps' initially strict recruitment policy was relaxed. Civilians bought their way into it in order to benefit from the improved socioeconomic status it conferred upon them. Consequently, the corps gradually lost its military character, undergoing a process that has been described as 'civilianization'. The corps was abolished by Sultan Mahmud II in 1826 in the Auspicious Incident in which 6,000 or more were executed.

Inshallah.

Mameluke? More like Lameluke amirite?
