Life in medieval Europe, especially the high middle ages, was unironically good, and I'm sick of pretending it wasn't. Only Jews and whig history brainlets think it was le hecking ignorant dark age.
>>18461044Yes. There was literally no government. Nobody wore clothes. His is a retard board and fixates on bureaucracy that never existed and comes from video games. The only bad part was when Jews killed everyone at the end with well poisoning.
>>18461044Indeed.Middle age was based as fuck. Cringe "Renaissance" did a really good job so that the average Joe thinks it was hell. working half of the year, Blind allegiance to the based catholic church and the king. Minorities standing in the place where they belong. God does not allow you to grow weak and old = cool. To me it sounds more like heaven
>>18461057>based>Catholic churchPick one
>>18461044most of the bad stuff we associate with the medieval period occurred in the 14th-18th centuriesblame anglo protestants and french enlightenment thinkers for spreading black legends against anything medieval/catholic/spanish
life in the Middle Ages>live in poverty in a thatched hut with your wife and 8 kids>your wife dies giving birth to the last one>sanitation is nonexistent and everyone smells awful>die of routine disease epidemics because everyone attributes disease to God's wrath or demonic possession>subsist on one small crust of bread and a few beans a day>the lord meanwhile lives in a manor home with servants and eats roast boar for every meal>you can't even leave the estate without permission>the lord can also take your wife and have sex with her any time he feels like>each Sunday you go into a building where a man in a cassock tells you lies>anyone who questions said lies is burned at the stake>a war happens, the enemy army invades, burns your village down, and rapes your wife and daughters in front of you
>>18461119None of that is true obviously. That is more like modern evangelicals pretending to be traditional. Witch hunts happen today and are just called Cops killing people.
>>18461119>live a simple life with what you need in a home built with your own hands, with a bountiful family that loves and respects you>your wife is assured eternal life in heaven if she succumbs bringing a miracle into the world>people wash at regular intervals and cesspits are kept sensibly away from dwellings>live to around 60 if childhood is survived, medicine is primitive but based on classical knowledge preserved in the Mediterranean world>eat fresh food every day sown, caught, or made with your own hands>the lord mostly shares your situation, though his leige is much wealthier >while governed by law, the serf's life is his own, and many rules are bent for the sake of custom>prima nocta is a practice limited to the nobility>every Sunday you join a community of worshippers and express a shared love of God, family, and church>troublemakers, agitators and (((skeptics))) are rightly punished >war is a part of life, you are given the opportunity to defend what's yours while noncombatants are safe in the keepEverything is different depending on your perspective. If you look at the past and expect to hate what you find, then why study history?
>Never got to eat meat>Never got to leave your shitty village>Never got to exist without the constant risk of famine>Blessed if you didnt die as a baby>Blessed if a band of robbers didnt come through and murder you>Blessed if a band of soldiers didnt come through and murder you>Blessed if a sip of water didnt end your life>Grateful to be stuck in whichever job you were born into>Grateful to be stuck smelling like shit and sweat>Grateful to not get wiped out by a cough>Bat crawls through your shitty thatch roost and bites you>You die thrashing and foaming at the mouth afraid of oxygen and water because there are no vaccinesKek. Cuck.
>>18461211But enough about modern India.
>>18461212>Medieval Europe is the same as modern IndiaChanges nothing kek
Why do tradcucks insist on serfdom instead of say American colonialism where you were truly a free man?
Both ancient and medieval Europe offered a superior quality of life to modern globohomo. Whether you'd prefer to live under Roman or Frankish rule is a simple matter of what's more important to you but either is an upgrade over modern techno slavery.
>>18461211Oh yes bats in europe. We've got a real historian over here.
>>18462530ermm because America BAD or something
>>18461119All of that sounds better than living in a modern liberal city.
>>18461196>Live in hut with farm animals that shit and copulate incessantly>Wife and children are emaciated after inheriting tapeworm from said farm animals>Cannot leave hut of village because feudal system makes you an eternal indentured servant>Return from a day of unceasing toil to your stinking hut to find the feudal lord has ridden off with your eldest daughterYes,Giles de Rias carried women off
>>18461196>prima nocta is a practice limited to the nobilityPrima nocta isn't even a real thing, the only period source for it is a seething monkcel slandering the nobility in a legal dispute for land between his monastery and a noble.
>>18462852Must be hard being this retardedWhy the fuck wouldn't there be bats in Europe?
Why do so many retards on this website want to imagine the middle ages as some sort of paradise? Yeah people from the enlightenment made up a load of myths about it, everyone who knows the first thing about history knows that. What's less well known is a century later the Victorians loved the middle ages and made up the other half of the myths about how everyone was honourable and no one had to work hard that you lot mindlessly parrot. If any of you actually want to learn about the middle ages I recommend starting with "the two cities" by Malcolm Barber
>>18462852You fucking moron.
>>18461196>the serf's life is his ownHahahahahhahahahahaha!!!!>you are given the opportunity to defend what's yours while noncombatants are safe in the keepHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA<breathes in>HAHAHAHHAHhahahahahahaaaaaaaYou stupid fucker. Absolute shit for brains.
>>18463277years of being fed black legends against the middle ages/catholic church leads to hypercorrection
>>18463303>years of being fed black legends against the middle ages/catholic churchThis isn't some conspiracy force feeding you falsehoods, no one in academic has propagated this stuff for nigh 2 centuries at this point. If you've refused to engage with everything but pop culture then that's entirely on you.
>>18461211>Kek. Cuck.Noice pilpul, shill.
