Man I’m so glad we don’t live in the Middle Ages anymore, when unaccountable tyrants ruled with absolute power over a mass of peasants they didn’t even deem worthy of speaking to

@DW2 The middle ages weren't that bad but yeah

@DW2 Sure would be a shame if someone hypersonic missile struck davos

@RupertvonRipp @Mutsu_a125 @DW2 Yeh, dude ancient Scandinavia, like pre-Viking age, was even sparser! They didn't even really live in villages, they had like, separate homesteads where extended families would live, and the community of a number of these homesteads would gather at a large comunal longhouse for various occasions, but the whole affair was spread out over a pretty large area, not like what you'd think of as a later medieval village, they prety much lived "alone" so to speak and got together when they needed to.

@Tovarish_Pedal @Mutsu_a125 @DW2 Varangian Guards would stand in awe upon first gazing upon Constantinople.
That one city had more people than the entirety of the Norse world combined.

@Tovarish_Pedal @Mutsu_a125 @DW2 Elizabethan England had like 3 million souls total.

@Tovarish_Pedal @DW2 Modernity for resources is more
"wow, thanks to modern agriculture, we can feed ten times the number of people we could before"

@Mutsu_a125 @DW2 Yeah I think a lot of people don't take physical space into account in regards to the difference in living conditions between modern and ancient White nations.
We are overpopulated AS FUCK today! Like, Medieval England was very thoroughly settled, so it;s not like there was a lot of the island left unused, yet it had far fewer people than it does today.
But what does that ACTUALLY mean for life? Well it means you get way more fucking living space! Not just to sleep or cook or chill in, but to actually do stuff, and walk around and build more stuff. Things that a lot of modern people just can't do, you can't "just build a barn" in your fucking downtown appartment!

@DW2 See, except the Middle Ages weren't like that, yes jew historians would claim this.
But there the "tyrants" were a class of warrior elite who fought for their people(lol imagine the absurd spectacle of modern western elites having to fight in ukraine)
I'd seriously encourage people to actually look into what was expected of your average peasant in say, England, it was like 4 days of work a week, you couldn't be evicted(unless you did something), you had holidays, you were protected(actually protected, if by some means marauding niggers came to Europe, your Lord and his knight buddies would fuck em up).
And the peasantry did NOT eat slop and dirt! The majority of their diet was pork(pretty much everyone raised pigs), fish(salmon was everywhere and was considered peasant food, as was shellfish like crabs), cheese, butter and bread(which was nothing like modern bread)
Were there shortages and hardships due to famine and war? YES!
But does modernity somehow spare those caught in modern famines and war, from hardship and shortages? Fuck no!

@DW2 Listen, Vlad. All these shitheels are in one place. Switzerland is NOT a member of NATO. You know what you could do?
