Romanticization of the Medieval period is possibly one of the most Low-IQ, Jeetcoded worldviews somebody could have.
>Peasants (AKA 99% of the population) Worked an upwards of 14 hours a day, dawn to dusk, doing intensive labor and only receiving enough to just barely get by.
>You were only expected to live 40 years AT MOST. Assuming you didn't accidentally step on a loose thorn one day and then suddenly you start rotting from the inside-out due to how dirty your outer skin was
>Most of the towns that did exist were literally ankle-deep in Horse shit and riddled with rats and flies due to there not being any concept of hygiene beyond it being a "status symbol of the upper-class"
>If you were poor and were even remotely smart there was a chance of you literally being murdered because it could be the devil trying to deceive the people, or something.
>If war starts then you're probably going to get conscripted, given a spear at most, and then thrown at a wall of elite enemy cavalry, only to be mutilated and hacked up in the first 10 minutes of the battle
Now lets address some of the talking points that attempt to justify this worldview
<Da faith was stronger back then!
Most "religious" people back then not only had never read a bible, but were probably too illiterate to even read one even if they were offered to. It's the same as today where most people CLAIM to be Christian, but aren't actually, and they just wear the cross necklace to fit in. The difference is that at least today people would be capable of reading it.
<But da castles and da art!!!
Your chances of being royalty back then were even slimmer than your chances of being born into a decently-paid working class White family in a Western country. And can you guess who built all the castles and the art? I'll let you figure that one out. Believe me, you would NOT be one of them.
<Those are actually misconceptions and never actually happened! Da medieval period was clean and good!
Prove it. We have tens of thousands of writings from the era showing how abysmal it was. Prove that it wasn't.
<Well it was better then da modern era!
Nope. Just nope. Even with all the government surveillance, censorship, and propaganda we have today, we still have it WAY better now than they did back then. When was the last time you were literally on the verge of starvation, even while working a minimum wage job? And no, I don't mean your fat ass being hungry because you had to cut back on a Mcdonald's meal "deal". I mean when you were legitimately on the verge of starvation. When were you conscripted, handed the bare minimum, and then thrown head-first into a sea of ten thousand enemy soldiers? Never? Figured.
<Fuck you, you dumbass faggot faggot nigger nigger homosexual fucking commie jew! You're demoralizing me or something!
Ad Hominem.
