Lol they still teach that myth
yeah it was just a switch of priority
innovation still happened it was just in torture method
???
how were the dark ages not shit
After the fall of Rome innovation and invention exploded
where do you get this from
It is called the myth of the dark ages for a reason
I never hear it called that
Read books
great reasoning, I'm so happy to see such an amazing argument
The most wind and water power was used during this time
That's a topic that's always interested me. Any books you recommend in particular?
How the west won
^
This goes through all of western civilational history
Are there lots of citations/bibliography?
Yes
From primary sources
Sorry, go ahead
Basically he calls out modern history courses for axing western civ classes
And calls enlightenment revisionism of the past
I don't recall where I read this, so take this not as iron fact but as something to investigate, but the inquisitions were somewhat less harmful than people make them out to be. The church didn't pick who got investigated, it was their job to just ask them up front if they were a heretic, even give them a chance to just repent and be absolved of the crime, then just hand them over to the state if not. The Spanish ones were a lot more corrupt, yet that was mostly on the government's end. But again, don't take this as gospel from me unless I remember the book I read this from, and the book checks out.
3000-5000 people killed over 350 years
You are mostly correct though
From what i have read
^^^ Yeah, there's that, too. Really puts into perspective that fewer people died during that period than die from crime in Democrat-dominated major cities each month.
A lot of it would have been removing heratics from the chirch structures. Like priests who commited crimes
Also you have to be a christian to be held to account by the inquisition
Whoa, I wasn't aware of that last bit. I'll have to look into that. Anyway, I've been thinking about this whole deplatforming prelude, and I think I have a unique take on the matter. I've been keeping an eye on this really messed-up side of YouTube that has been huge in ad revenue and has therefore been given a blind eye by Youtube.
god this discord is cancer
Okay, this is gonna come as a bit of a shock if you haven't looked into it before, but there are dozens of these Youtube channels that pander to kids with animations using licensed characters, and while on the surface they're just some cheap educational junk you'd see on daytime kids' tv, a significant number of these videos contain extremely explicit content that's just messed up.
You can find and see a lot of this stuff yourself by doing a little surfing (in incognito mode, don't mess up your recommended feed), but this video sums up the matter effectively. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afamhuZLDjM
I've seen some of these, and they're just horrifying. And they get millions of views. So the angle I'm thinking of here is that YT is very hypocritical about taking down supposedly harmfully influential content, and while changing the topic to this does come with the chance that deplatforming seems legitimate (it is in this case imo), the important thing is to distinguish opinion pieces meant to start conversations from garbage seemingly meant to mess up kids, while calling out YT for letting actually horrible stuff slide in order to get ad revenue. Because if widespread influence of toxic content was what they were truly worried about, these multi-million viewed channels would be getting the ax instead of small political channels meant to encourage adults to think for themselves.
