>muh literacy
The only thing that literacy achieves is leftist indoctrination.

You don't need to be literate to work and be a productive member of society.

Literacy mean writing and reading latin.
Mortality was high during all chapters of history.
Major developments or developments that laid the groundwork for the renaissance and onward were laid during the middle ages.

>The Under-Man is unconvertible. He will not bow to the new truth, because he knows that the new truth is not for him. Why should he work for a higher civilization, when even the present civilization is beyond his powers ?

>What the Under-Man wants is, not progress, but regress, regress to more primitive conditions in which he would be at home. In fact, the more he grasps the significance of the new eugenic truth, the uglier grows his mood. So long as all men believed all men potentially equal, the Under-Man could delude himself into thinking that changed circumstances might raise him to the top. Now that nature herself proclaims him irremediably inferior, his hatred of superiority knows no bounds.

>This hatred he has always instinctively felt. Envy and resentment of superiority have ever been the badges of base minds. Yet never have these badges been so fiercely flaunted, so defiantly worn, as today. This explains the seeming paradox that, just when the character of superiority becomes supremely manifest, the cry for levelling "equality" rises supremely shrill. The Under-Man revolts against progress! Nature herself having decreed him uncivilizable, the Under-Man declares war on civilization.

>These are not pretty facts. But we had better face them, lest they face us, and catch us unawares. Let us, then, understand once and for all that we have among us a rebel army the vast host of the unadaptable, the incapable, the envious, the discontented, filled with instinctive hatred of civilization and progress, and ready on the instant to rise in revolt.

This propaganda campaign that christcucks have been doing these last decades by trying to change history is really funny, because their motivation is borne out of a miscalculation
Christcucks think history revealing christcuckery's societal effects are the reason why younger aryans are turning away from it, but it is, and will always be, because of how cucked, foreign, feminine, feministic, and kiked your desert death cult is, and no amount of rewriting history will change this
Semitic religions are doomed to fall in the next few centuries

Most of the early deaths were from infant mortality. It was a good thing because it was a filter against mutants. We got rid of it and now we are drowning in mentally ill leftists.

I am reminded of how many times people died building cathedrals because they didn't understand math since it wasn't taught to the public anymore post-Roman Empire. Projects often took decades, not for a lack of manpower or resources, but because they had no concept of how to make engineering work without math.

Dome collapses were a frequent occurrence. They'd go to the Pantheon, point at it, and go ME WANT DAT FOR CHURCH without understanding how it worked.

Based. Why should I want everyone making it to adulthood? So there can be more traffic, lines, and trash everywhere? No thanks. Also, why the fuck would I want everyone literate, especially women?

Knock off another significant number of males being literate and there would be much less "redditor"-type opinionated faggots out there. Holy that society would rule

A more succinct way of putting it is that people are atheist these days specifically because they went to church as kids.

What did my church teach? Jews are superior, give money to Israel, blessed are nogs. It resonates with no one, and a religion must resonate or it will die.

No, pretending it is a "true" religion will not save it. Religion either serves a utility or it goes extinct. And this has always been the case. Esoteric overtures to being "saved" are meaningless. Every religion since the bronze age has said the same shit.

Lets be honest the food wasn't that healthy for most of the year.
Especially during winters, food was basically porridge for the entire season for the common folk. But at least it wasn't chemically altered, so there's that.
Also, depending at what level of government and what period you're looking at, government was still trying to kill you. Your local lord? Nah he's an alright dude, the king was often a dick, however. Though still to a lesser degree than our current deeply corrupt governments that bow to no god other than coin.

In almost all of Europe you owned the land and the house, but in most of Europe you didn't have freedom of movement and you were not allowed to sell your land, but no one could take it from you without due reason. You paid your taxes to your lord and church and he mightve had 2-4 lords above him until it was the king or emperor but your lord could not just take your land. In Russia the peasantry were serfs and they were slaves but with some restrictions on the lords.
In addition there were many free men among the peasantry, and the lords didn't have much control over them at all. In Sweden almost everyone were free men.

Yeah because peasants don't need to read as a function of their work. You harvest wheat and plow fields. People were happier then because economies were local, society was family oriented, and people were only expected to do what they could tangibly achieve instead of chasing some abstract vanity to distract from isolation like we have now. A peasant's life only drastically sucked in times of extreme famine, and at that point if you were still alive you'd take whoever's left of your family and live in the city where you'd either become a peddler, or a beggar if you couldn't manage to sell anything. I think people like to pretend that the medieval era in europe was somehow this dystopian nightmare because a majority of people were manual laborers while ignoring the fact that a majority of people in today's society are still inclined to that type of work. Most people are rather simple and expecting a majority of your populace to consist of philosophers, theologians, and scientists would only be possible if you outsourced all the labor to a caste of slaves who aren't technically considered part of the populace. The problem with today's world is that we have this insane expectation that we can somehow mold simpletons into becoming geniuses merely by forcing them to sit in desks, read, and repeat information all day; the end result being that we've set up a majority of our populace for failure by hoping they can be something they aren't rather than ensuring what they are is undisturbed.

That's the thing, literature was written for audiences with advanced minds because the hands and feet of society were not expected to learn how to read. As a result the quality of literature was higher because it was impossible to dumb anything down and expect to be taken seriously. The vocabulary of any book written before the 20th century of light years advanced compared to the simplified, sensationalist, and jargon filled slop we have today.

>>23902895
Both sides of the argument are guilty of bait and switch tactics. The Medievalists will always point to the accomplishments of the late middle age to show how good the era was and the modernists will always point to the early middle ages and the fallout of the collapse of Rome. On the whole the middle ages weren't the mud-drenched hellhole that modernists pretend they are (outside of the British Isles but nothing there has changed) nor are they the tradcath Utopia that medievalists love to shill. Was it better than present day? Yes, but that is an extremely low bar to pass.

Now how does the Under-Man look at civilization? This civilization offers him few benefits and fewer hopes. It usually affords him little beyond a meagre subsistence. And, sooner or later, he instinctively senses that he is a failure; that civilization's prizes are not for him. But this civilization, which withholds benefits, does not hesitate to impose burdens. We have previously stated that civilization's heaviest burdens are borne by the superior. Absolutely, this is true; relatively, the Under-Man's intrinsically lighter burdens feel heavier because of his innate incapacity. The very discipline of the social order oppresses the Under-Man; it thwarts and chastises him at every turn. To wild natures society is a torment, while the congenital caveman, placed in civilization, is always in trouble and usually in jail.

Not really. Not like it's portrayed in Hollywood anyways.
There's very little historical documentation on what peasant life was actually like.
The Martin Gurrer case is a rare exception. It's a 16th century imposter case that resulted in lengthy documentation of a peasant's life due to the nature of the case. Otherwise, people generally weren't recording what normal people's lives were like through most of history.
Imposter situation aside, his life was pretty damn normal. Worked a job, as cobbler if I remember, had a wife, family, decided to leave for war. When someone was suspected of impersonating him, it was taken to court.
If this were a hollywood movie, they would have lived in a shack, they wouldn't have had jobs, there would be no court because people would just be killing each other lawlessly.
Instead everything was dealt with in a very civilized manner, a lot like today.
Hollywood would have you thinking everyone lived in muddy shacks and just murdered each other left and right until a few generations ago.

Because kids aren't fully developed enough to suffer (90% of that mortality was kids), plus the ones that did make it were healthier.
And literacy while lovely just ain't super relevant to things sucking or not sucking.

The only things they failed at was food and to a lesser extent medical stuff, and while we still do that better that ain't so certain anymore thanks to the obvious worsenings most who weren't born yesterday have noticed.

Something about this doesn't sit right with my Jewdar.

At the begining of the 20th century, white people made up over 30% of world population. Now white people are 8%, and if you only look at people under 20 years of age, white people are at 2% of global population.

If this is true, how did it happen that white populations exploded under the bad old dark ages? How is it possible that white people are going extinct now that we live forever in happiness under the rule of Jews? Are you including all the white people murdered in Jewish abortion mills in your statistics? Do all the white men killed in wars for Jewish supremacy from WWI to Ukraine then replaced with jeets and niggers count in your statistics?

Something doesn't add up.

>>23902936
Also, if the harvest failed people became malnourished and starved to death or more easily succumbed to disease. If you lived in the medeival warm period life was probably pretty awesome on the continent. A lot of that was due to great harvests and a plague having wiped out much of the population though, same kind of environment as post war America and Europe.

One thing that is true is they would not have had blue clothes. For most of human history, blue dye has been notoriously expensive and rare, limited to royalty since the only real way to make it was through lapis lazuli. We did not have cheap and available blue dye until the 18-1900s.

It's basically that The Middle Ages weren't as primitive as their portrayed. A lot of your leisure was church centric , but at least you got time off thanks to them. Go to mass on Sunday morning and get a day off from labor. There were also a ton of festivals for holidays as well as for saints and other figures. The villages were also a lot cleaner than the cities that came afterwards. I don't think any of us would want to live there knowing what we know now, but it wasn't the complete shit hole that people think it is.

>never farmed
also almost everyone worked from home. shops, manufacturing, farming, ranching, even the head of state, most business owners (and their employees, who were more like adopted servants) never had to leave the house or land unless it was to go get something they needed.

>>23902956
>worked 20 hours a week
I doubt it.
>owned his land
No. He was a renter. He had a landlord from the nobility to whom he owed a certain amount of labor.

Perhaps his farming averaged out to 20 hours per week. But that was sun-up to sun-down with maybe a few hours of break in between during the growing season 6 days per week. And then there are the problems in winter like needing to collect firewood.
>high quality, handcrafted goods
It really depends. The metal most available was cheap iron which was cheap because it was filled with slag. Higher quality iron tended to be more expensive. Iron tends to break most around the places with slag. Steel was expensive to produce and only was produced in relatively small quantities. Extremely cheap steel production wouldn't occur until it was produced in mass during the 19th century. Higher quality metal goods purchased today if you're not buying the bottom of the barrel tend to be much more affordable to the average person than in the medieval era.

Handcrafting itself can introduce variation in quality which needs to be addressed and skill can vary from village to village or town to town.

making dyes of any color was easy, even purple, the difference was the quality of the dye. the better shit didn't fade or change colors and because it was more expensive it was generally reserved for the highest quality tailoring, making it even more expensive.

The early church fathers literally command Christians to study greek philosophy you fucking midwit. Saint Basil the great says that young men cannot possibly understand the scripture without studying Homer and Hesiod. Every Christian saint references literature. The greatest works of western literature was chirstian writing, Dante, Milton etc. Both the Orthodox and Catholic church are the reason much of ancient literature even exists today as monks spent entire lifetimes making copies of written works

>>23903150
thats still not an argument supporting the idea of first having encapsulated university studies, i see the same bullshit with the idea of first hospital.

Jews often preferred to go into banking because that's where the money could be made even when they were allowed into other professions.

You're so fucking dumb. What did you think they taught at the first universities in Europe? Theology. Canon Law. University of Bologna, Oxford etc. Half if not 2/3ds of students were there to study Christian theology and Christian law. In your very own country, your oldest university, Uppsala was founded and charted by the Pope.

Your claim that the church "avoided intellectuals" is demonstrably false by every metric. Chrstians WERE the intellectuals.

Did they have 24/7 camera surveillance and every single thing they ever bought, cataloged along with a wildfire of ads? No?
Then it was better before even if life expectancy was shorter.
Do you really want to live as a liability to those around you and take their time, money and effort just so you can wake up to another day of a bad back and struggles to do anything yourself? Can't even call it vacation when you're old when you're still taxed until you're 10 feet under and even then vultures want to pick clean your belongings when you're dead

>>23902979
except it is a /pol/ meme that life expectancy calculations are so simple-minded. in reality there's survival-to-5-years-old probability at birth, survival-to-adulthood-probability-at-birth and life expectancy for those who have reached adulthood.

They were a great time. Jews just want you to think they sucked because they were constantly getting expelled from the realms.

>>23902982
is this some autistic attempt to claim that powerful institutions aren't "the govermnent"? people burning witches was a civilian pastime and the government just shrugged and said "let them have their fun"?
if it wasn't the government, you'd expect to see cases of the government intervening. but in fact the government was generally subservient to the church and dutifully executed those handed over to it.

>>23902895
So no faggots or leftist midwits who think they know everything because they cab read? Sounds good to me.

Medieval times were amazing.
We also owned that jerusalem place for 500 years, without even trying.
White Christcuck rule for 500 years, jews wont even hold it for 80

>>23903163
It would be objectively better if a European Christian occupation of Jerusalem had lasted until present day and jews and muslims were forced to pay tribute to enter. Not even a Christian but that would have at least been a better timeline than what we're on now.

america was built on the premise that everything pre-enlightenment, or old world, wad bad. history has now clearly shown that this was not the case, but americans (and most angloids) cant deal with it so they need a steady stream of cope to convince themselves otherwise.

>>23902895
>The literacy rate was 10% and only about 50% of people made it to adulthood.
Do you possibly not realize why those two are correlated?

Child mortality is a terrible thing, but very consistent across human history until modern times.

Is this bait or retardation
Flagelations were voluntary and came after medieval period
Inquisition in reality barely killed any people for 300 years and didn't affect 99.9% of the population
Witch burnings were barely a thing, mostly a myth
Conscription didn't exist, crusaders voluntered

>>23903170
they're online because theres literally nothing of importance to be done in jew world.

in the middle ages you would go from meaningful work, to a community festival, to a religious event. the calendar was packed with actual events. not fucking stanley levinson, i mean MLK, day and american ramadan (pride month).

>>23902898
>have house
probably more of a shack for the common man
>meaningful work
farming, with a quota to meet for thy Lord. better hope the weather is agreeable

crabs in a bucket, ready to be favored by the ruling body at the expense of anyone

Exactly. I imagine too that during the middle ages they would've been keenly aware of whether the dyes on your clothes were expensive or cheap. But saying that they had no blue whatsoever is just completely retarded and redditbrained.

Obviously what people are missing, what they crave, what they see as redemptive in the past, isn't about material comforts and safety. History seems lacking to you because that's all you value. The image of freer, bolder, stronger, more competent, more self-sufficient, more fit, more convicted, more connected people means nothing to you. People want their souls back. There's nothing that makes the marvels of technology and soul-crushing modernity a package deal, but here you are having a fit about people looking back on what we lost as if there's anything worth returning to at all. You're a bugman. You're a traitor to the very human spirit and the best punishment for you is that you get to live in exactly the world you want.
Life expectancy for most of history has been mostly comparable to today, by the way. Infant mortality was higher and severely skewed averages.

christcucks think it was the golden age because people weren't literate enough to start branching off into a bunch of separate sects to cope with finding out how fake and gay their religion was, thus the christcuckery was unified and golemry was not only encouraged but mandatory--not unlike what modern day Christian Nationalists strive for in a country that was founded by Deists on land that was settled by Christfags fleeing persecution from other Christfags

gulags first, for jew-worshipping gay retards like you

People are woefully uneducated on the middle ages. So many idiots believe things they've seen in Pedowood movies.

You didn't jsut dump chamerpots onto the streets. You had a guy who's job was to collect them as both urine and faces were re-used. Urine for some chemical proceses like dying, and feses for compost.

No, taverns, alehouses and inns were not one and the same. One was just for sleeping, one just for drinking and one just for eating. Only later did they start to mix services.

tons of other stuff that people constanlty get wrong

they "preferred" to go into banking because thats what the entire social engineering scam of christianity and torah judaism prior to that was designed to cater to

4th century bce jews at elephantine were loaning money to gentiles, get this.. WITHOUT interest
the 3rd century bce and the devising changes all of that. interest was discovered by jews, and their entire society slowly began to shift towards its exploitation and the (((trickle down))) economic system you know them for today

btw in case anyones wondering, jewsus wasnt flipping over the moneychanger tables for their jewishness, he was flipping over the moneychanger tables because they werent being jewish enough.

like 4000 people were executed by the spanish inquistion across almost 400 years that's only like 10 a year, and that is just if you were in spain specifically, the rest were lower.

Listening to pagans on /pol/ for over a year, you literally cannot distinguish them from atheists.
The longer you listen and take note, the more you realize that their whole world view is basically "I hate the west, I hate European culture and i white people", like every fucking time like an average reddit or a leftist. That what paganism boils down to.
They claim that Christians are jews or slaves, yet they're the ones who deffend whites the most, while pagans just shit down on Europeans 24/7.
Pagans are completely ready and eager to flush down 1500 years of their history, ancestors and entire nationhoid down the gutter just so they can larp either as pagan Roman, Greek or some tribal northerner, people they have less connection or knowledge of than their nearest kin in just 2 generation.
Wtf makes a pagan different from a self-hating liberal that hates his parents and identity? Literally fucking nothing.
It's very valid to say they're a jew, since you won't find a difference either.

>>23902895
>50% of people made it to adulthood.
Good, I know it's an unpopular opinion but too many people reach adulthood these days. There's too many people working useless makework jobs or sat on disabilty their whole lives when they really shouldn't be here.

They didn't get over it hence why their descendants are seething in the thread
Jews always dial it up to 100 because when you see people used to own a house you start to think if progress is so wonderful how come I don't have these things. Who took these things we should have awa... BAD GOY
Also fun fact since the Vietnam war Jewish historians began altering the past to push their agenda in the present like how everything they dislike always relates to the holocaust essentially weaponizing the past
The Crusades was actually Western White people going across the world to harass the innocent non-Whites just like Vietnam or the Iraq wars
The Spanish Inquisition and Salem Witch Trials was rabid, fanatical, conservative sorts happily killing innocent women. So about that rising right-wing sentiment in your area recently...
So basically you know how everything is always the Nazi's over and over. This is the proto-version of that and it stuck because what normalfag is going to actually read about things that happened hundreds of years ago to see they're lies?
Jews dislike going back because that isn't going forward to their agenda of a world without Whites. Jews dislike nostalgia because you realise what you've lost. Jews have been manipulating the past to push then and now examples for ages because he who controls the past controls the future, the holocaust isn't the only card in the jewish deck its just their favourite
Now have fun looking at past "atrocities", realising they weren't actually that bad and noticing the odd tonal shift around the 60s when marxist, jewish academics began to take root and "revise" these events to push their ideology
