>>84571436>if i were an incel in the middle ages i could have just become a monk and been highly respectedYou could have been a highly-respected monk this year if you weren't an idiot.
>>84571446nobody respects the clergy in 2026
>>84571458Can you make that claim in earnest before experience?
>>84571436Weren't monasteries the highest educational places at the time, until the arrival of the first universities, which were also highly influenced by clergy at the beginning? I am not a medievalist, I genuinely don't know much about them. >>84571442I know some western clergy took the sword and fought in religious wars, unlike eastern orthodox clergy, who were forbidden to do so.
>>84571496yes, families would be very proud to have a son in the monasterynow an incel son is the greatest shame
>three estates system>implying you get to choose
>>84571509Concept of inceldom in the middle ages? Pretty sure Chads became clergymen too
>>84571436>if i were an incel in the middle ages i could have just become a monk and been highly respectedYou'd be bullied by the other monks for being a fucking idiot
>>84571513peasants could join the clergy
>>84571436Being a monk would be boring as fuck, you'd just sit in a room reading the bible all day. Being a traveling pirate or mercenary like Harald Hardrada would be much more fun.
>>84571551i already just sit in a room all day
>>84571541>implying 'peasants' existed>implying you got the choice whether to be a serf or a freemaneveryone always writes themselves into the best possible position in these time travel fantasies. at any previous point in history, you'd be a farmer and it's a coin toss whether you get sex and/or die before 30.
>>84571436>brew your own beer and become a respected beer monk>apply your brain to business or investing and fund many endeavorsYou have more options than you realize
>>84571551It works/worked for those who were intelligent and motivated to learn.
>>84571563Yeah, but you probably play video games or watch anime. Sitting in a room all day in 2026 is much different from sitting in a room all day in 1026.
>>84571581>only one field of study>even if you get really into alchemy or astronomy, you have to disguise it as theologyl a m e
>>84571576Everybody has the choice between being a serf or being a freeman
>>84571436No one was really an incel in the middle ages. Your parents would hook you up with one of your second cousins.
>>84571602that's like saying you have the choice to be a murderer.I mean, you CAN, but...
>>84571602>Escape from being a serf>Have no survival skills, no knowledge of where to go, no one to rely onBut let me guess "you" know how to hunt and build a small hut in a place that is safe
>>84571634>What is pillaging?
>>84571458>nobody respects the clergy in 2026Who cares? You shouldn't care about what other people think, only what God thinks. If you don't care about what God thinks, you can't be a monk
>they took everything from usYeah, I wish I could become a monk. I live like one.NEETed for 20 years now. Asocial autist incel. Just wish that I could LDAR on the laptop and vidya at a monastery too.
