Has a book ever made you vitriolically hateful?
Midwit alert.
>>25552866Odds are you are a butthurt e-crusader who goes on rants about monasteries and monks>stealing and destroying is only good when I do it!
>>25552832up
>>25552872Apparently she cherry-picked events and strung out a grand narrative they don't actually justify while harping on the myth that the Middle Ages were a period of intellectual and scientific stagnation. It's pop-history for midwits, anon.
>>25552888Is it a lie that christians desecrated many pagan statues, temples, etc. and persecuted pagan people? Is it a lie that all foundational western thinkers, like Aristotle and Plato, were pagan?

She wrote a pop-history book with a simplistic thesis that appeals to midwits like yourself. Read more.
>>25552894Anon said cherry picked. Is it true you are ESL?
>>25552914>>25552916I never pretended to answer your points directly, rather I asked questions which I deem more relevant. And it is true much of it is motivated by me no longer having patience to earnestly engage edgy crusader larpers, so it would be accurate to state both of us have ulterior motives.
>>25552935>I never pretended to answer your points directlyObviously. That's why you ended up proving my point, midwit. >edgy crusader larpersAre they in the room with you right now, anon? Lol.
>>25552832More books like this?
I'm an ignorant fool but isn't thanks to Christbros we got to keep Plato and others?!
>>25553703Christians in west had no Plato, while Byzantium only preserved them through crypto pagans play pretending to be Christians for a thousand years
>>25553698
>>25553703if I remember correctly they only copied pagan Latin authors at first in monasteries so that the monks would learn Latin (and this only after Charlemagne), and it wasn't until the school of translators of Toledo got the texts from the Arabs that the West rediscovered authors like Aristotleagain, if I remember correctly
>>25553720They had Boethius translations and Calcidius Commentary on TimaeusThen there's only latin paraphrases like Cicero Apuleius, Ambrose
Sick of tradlarpers ngl
>>25552888The period between Konstantin and Karl der Große was probably the worst in human history
>>255537401.3 billion Catholics and counting. You'll never be rid of us.
>>25552888>Apparently
>>25553784There's no such thing. Depending where you're from, you're some flavor of crypto pagan.
>>25553698"The Final Pagan Generation" is about the exact same topic but is much less sensationalist.
