Did they ever state the date the show is set in? Because a lot of the technologies seem a bit later than that

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:34:47 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Like, i would estimate late 14th/early 15th century from havibg watched it

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:34:53 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

I never played the games, though

Nevis

Also, this was _long_ before the church had any of the reformations that has calmed it down today. This was presumably before the Protestant-Catholic wars, in a territory right on the edge of Islamic invasion, in the grip of several competing monotheistic religions (Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Islam, whatever remnants of paganism remained)

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:38:41 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Yeah, this was right on the cusp of the collapse of the Byzantine Empire and Islamic threat, then

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:39:27 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Religious zealotry against due to hostile foreignersbwould have made religious tensions very high

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:40:13 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

And the Catholic Church was certainly corrupt

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:40:24 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

While the scale might be overblown

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:41:16 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

I personally chalked that partly up to an insane rogue element of tbe church rather than the _entirety_ of Catholic clergy being that degree

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:41:48 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Manga of Attack is better

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:42:07 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

And you mean parasyte: the maxim?

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:42:16 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Yeah, it certainly would

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:42:27 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Plus 1476 is like
What

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:43:04 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

20, 30 years after the collapse of the Byzantines?

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:43:04 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Berserk

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:43:06 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

_**Go read Berserk**_

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:43:54 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Was it? I do not know all that much about Vlad

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:43:56 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

20, 30 years after the collapse of the Byzantines?

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:44:01 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

That is a cool detail

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:44:17 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

I know that much

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:44:44 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

King of Wallachia, impaled people on spikes, had beef with the Ottoman Turks

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:45:09 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

What

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:45:13 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Blood wine

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:46:25 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

I mean
Again
I personally considered it to be partly the result of a particularly bad regional church, rather than necessarily the entirety of Catholicism being that bad

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:46:55 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Anyone here familiar with Shoukoku no Altair

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:47:55 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

I wonder if Ubel Blatt finished, I have not checked up on it in months

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:48:14 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Megumin, 15?
_Lies_

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:49:03 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

We have really only seen the local church
So I am withholding judgment on the rest of it

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:49:18 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Until such time as we see more

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:50:51 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Oh
Yeah
I did a cursory read over Vlad a while ago
Holy shit, Wallachia was brutal

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:50:59 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Was _not_ just Vlad

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:52:38 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

So
Eh, I can see it going too far with it later on
Again, I am withholding further judgment for time being, considering that we have seen only a small portion of it

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:53:49 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

The heck

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:54:39 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Wallachia was literally the frontline against Turkish invasion at that point in time

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:55:28 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

By contrast, elsewhere, Europe was actually opening up more to alternative ideas, science and the like at the time

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:56:20 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Yeah, and the late 15th century and early 16th is when the Italian Renaissance got into swing

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:56:27 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Ideas began taking route

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:57:20 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

I mean
The Catholics burnt _people_ for such during the Catholic-Protestant wars

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:57:42 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Kinda

Nevis
2019-08-23 01:58:05 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Discussing the context surrounding it and possibly explaining some of its questionable elements

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:01:54 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Well

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:02:14 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

_Especially_ considering that demon's speech to the bishop

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:02:43 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

I cam imagine the Devil playing some part in having distantly affected the church in killing her

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:05:03 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

The point is questioning whether that is actually a problem with some roots in anti-Catholicism/Progressivism

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:05:48 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Personally, I find it within my willing suspension of disbelief, given the time and place

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:07:07 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

They were _looking_ to murder her

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:07:14 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Witchcraft was a pretext

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:07:54 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Again, the time and place was full of corruption

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:08:20 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Having glanced over just rhe _wikipedia_ page on Vlad the Impaler

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:08:43 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

It does not seem too far-fetched for the context

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:09:50 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

And
I got the impression that Vlad had had a habit of murdering and eatinf people as a vampire before he retired and his wife knocked on his door

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:10:41 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Uh
Eeeeh
Nah, leaning on people to confess and submit was definitely practice there

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:10:48 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Also

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:11:30 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

They _clearly_ believed that God was actually on their side against the devil, that the devil was a weak bluffer and that their holy ground wiuld protect them

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:13:43 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

It makes sense given the time and place
It is accurate to the source material
We have seen only one fanatical local rogue faction of the church
It was at a time when religious tensions were extremely high in a brutal and murderous country

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:15:08 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Anyways
Done arguing this point

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:15:39 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Anyone here ever watch Mariah the Virgin Witch

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:17:03 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Anyone

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:17:19 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

The degree of accuracy in that show is insane

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:18:02 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Rip

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:18:52 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Eh
I do not think of it as bad
It was literally to establish the themes of a flawed, sometimes stupid, yet ultimately redeemable humanity

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:20:57 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Can we save the insulting energy for the commies

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:21:54 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Also, I have seen a few quotes from "anarcho-capitalists: here over the last week
Holy shit, as an ancap, a lot of ancaps are insane larpers

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:23:17 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

I thought the whole meme about ancaps being okay with slavery was a strawman
But holy shit, some people who claim to be ancaps actually believe that shit

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:24:23 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

I never said anything about robots

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:24:52 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

I would have to dig-oh

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:25:11 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

"Ancap"
I use the quotations for a reason

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:25:42 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

I saw a few literal screenshots of shit like that in this chat a few days ago
Would have to dig to find it

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:25:52 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Yeah

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:26:37 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Even though
Like
Inherent self-ownership is a fundamental concept in ancap theory that I know of

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:27:15 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:27:41 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

This is trade, not slavery

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:28:24 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Perhaps define servitude as you mean it here

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:28:39 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

To be certain we are referring to the same exact thing

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:31:44 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Yeah, I am certain there is a point of promised service where it crosses the line of trade to what amounts to slavery
Way too tired to really consider the nuance of where that is right now, though

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:34:23 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

I was mostly remarking upon that the accusation that the libertarian-right is okay with slavery or some shit is apparently not such a baseless accusation as I thought
Even if inaccurate, there is reasonable basis to think that if those are the ones that they have seen

Granted, I consider myself neutral/indifferent to the liberal/conservative axis

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:35:47 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Human beangs

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:38:53 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Mayas, Incans, Aztecs
Idk which one

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:38:59 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Probably what he said

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:39:52 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

The _winning_ ones were the sacrifices?

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:40:11 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

I think a better analogy is drawing the short straw than winning the lottery

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:41:22 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

And theoretically help stave off the apocalypse by thirsty sun god, yes

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:41:35 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Even so

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:41:41 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Drawback: ded

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:41:46 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Pretty big drawback

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:42:03 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Killed who

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:42:45 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Hah
I think they are spilling plenty of blood for the sun god in the Middle East

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:43:13 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Maybe not _deliberately_

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:43:23 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

On behalf of the orchestrating-what

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:43:44 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

How many volcanoes are there even over there

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:43:55 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

I omly know of like

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:44:00 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

What, two?

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:44:12 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Apparently

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:44:34 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Volcano
What

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:44:45 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

No, they worship Saturn

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:45:09 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

I can ramble on about the Saturn one

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:45:24 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Shit is _insane_

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:46:13 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

I have not studied it to confirm it yet, though I have heard that Islam is actually a Lunar cult

Nevis
2019-08-23 02:47:50 UTC [Athens #the-writing-on-the-wall_memes]  

Would make sense
A _lot_ of religions to make their ascendent divine power one of the seven heavenly bodies and those who share the same one tend to have significant values overlap
