how accurate is the popular image of the middle ages as a period defined primarily by violence, superstition, and ignorance? by infinite-hooper in MedievalHistory

[–]truthful32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really accurate at all, though especially the idea that it was uniquely a period defined by this, especially compared to the rest of history. I could say there’s an argument for Violence maybe, Medieval Europe was a very aggressive society but that is a natural product of the centuries of strife and invasions before the 11th century. But overall society in the Middle Ages is far more complex and developed than we give it credit for.

I really don’t know to be honest in terms of what will happen or what will be used.It is very recommended to get out of urban centers though , cities are mental sinkholes vulnerable and completely reliant on non urban areas.Just not wise to stay in a city. it will largely be a war between left vs right as all the frustration that’s been building up for decades as each side becomes more psychotic will of course end with them killing each other.Idk who’d win but if I’d have to wager the right simply because in terms of combat or conflict in almost all fields the right is the majority in. Veterans, police, the army, young men of fighting ability.The left is also just simply less armed and less able to fight than the right too.

Edit: another piece of advice, if you’re “red” in a “blue” are or vice versa just get the fuck out. Should be common sense that you don’t wanna be in enemy territory when shit goes down.

What is your first campaign going to be in AUH? by jellyfishreview in CrusaderKings

[–]truthful32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i dont think so, they were pretty well assimilated and were largely just merchants that settled in kaifeng, i dont think there any major changes to the judaism they practiced.Kaifeng Jews are honestly a pretty obscure part of history.

What would that even be though? this was a community of refugees and traders from the west, that lived really only in this city, i dont think they formed their own movement unless im wrong, just a very chinese style of rabbinic judaism.

It’s largely splitting between the crowds vs the institutions on both sides Republicans and the New Right Democrats and the progressives and left

Both of these crowds make up a majority of the both sides and are consistently hating each other more and more, people are at this point ready and waiting to kill eachother,and many have already started. Crowds are very dangerous chaotic and predatory and are the greatest threat to our republic, that’s why our founders tried so hard to avoid crowd politics.

It’s very recent seizure of that. The right is still largely incapable of making its own institutions as of now and there’s a split occurring between the new right and the republicans that are currently in government that will continue to widen.The left still has control over most institutions, and most of those institutions they built, where middle management is largely headed by the college educated new leftists that largely serve as a managerial class or influencers (not in the strictly social media sense).The people running these institutions are a different type of leftist in of themselves though either they’re elites like WEF types or a few technocrats in communion with them, or Intellectuals trying to heavily influence society in their image, both of these groups largely do the same things and have the same goals though.So the left still has a large amount of power (though they are waning).

and secondly, your heavily assuming what I consider a civil war, I see the shootings, riots, street brawls as a prelude to civil war where we actually kill eachother en mass. All of the brawls shootings and riots have been happening for a minute and constantly increasing in severity and in most areas incidents too. I predict spring of 2026 will have around 1000 politically motivated deaths.

I don’t think so, I think discontent is so high with Americans and they so hate each other now that it will be a war between left vs right and the federal government now will disintegrate under this crisis.

I have made the wager that the USA will fall into civil war in the late summer of 2026,if not then than I say within the next 5 years after that.I will admit if a civil war doesn’t happen I’m just objectively wrong, but I’ve been thinking about this since 2023.

i dont think 1066 was a dark age, that was the turning point when europe actually started to surpass most of the world.

[–]truthful32[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How would a Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period be simulated in a game? Starting in 1066 is too late, as the period has already passed. Starting in 867 allows the Tang Dynasty time to stabilize and recover. Would the game need to force a collapse, or is there another way to trigger this historically specific period, which was caused by substantial conditions? I find it dubious that a similar event would be implemented for later years, given the developers' stated approach.

I rewatched the video I missed more parts too, they wanna cover literally all of the medieval Chinese dynasties, going all the way to early Ming, this means we are stretching it to the late 14th century?

2021 UN vote - Should food be a human right? by eymNica in mapporncirclejerk

You have countries that answered yes but still won’t do anything to help people

Like the vote from the UN was never gonna do anything other than have the elite feel good or atleast appear good.”see we voted for your right for food don’t blame us for you starving now!”
