Millions of people, generation after generation born and died and toiled under literal slavery with a different name (serfdom) and very little scientific or philosophical progress was made. How does anybody look up to the Holy Roman Empire?
>worst funny way to spell "best" you fucking peasant.

I agree, it was gay, but it was progress. Chuck was going his best to reorganize society again after Rome was gone, and if some fuckers had to die and some peasants had to be oppressed, that's just how it is on this bitch of an earth. You're not looking at it from a Marxian perspective bro.

This, you feudalism was a way of organizing in the ruins of the Roman empire. The feudal peasant worked his lord in exchange for protection from marauders. Was it ideal? Maybe not but better then getting your farm burned down and family raped or killed.
Interestingly enough we never really had a feudal system like the continental one in Scandinavia. Probably because we were so sparsely populated and unaffected by the collapse of Rome that the circumstances for it weren't there. It's one of the perks of living on the periphery of European civilization.

What do you think of the idea that class societies develop out of conquering and subjugated races? That's a hypothesis I've developed. Understand when I say Yamnaya, I'm not talking about blonde, Nordicist version of Aryans, I'm just talking about the Indo-Europeans. We know they would come in from the steppe, impose their language, and make up the ruling class. Places like Greece and such have very little Yamnaya DNA. We know that the citizenry of Athens was a very small segment of the population and half of the population were slaves, and then in Sparta you also have a situation of a very small number of Spartans with a somewhat larger population of Periokoi and a very large number of helots. Celtic Britain and Gaul also seems to have had a class system, with Caesar saying among the Gauls, only the priests and warriors had any rights and most of the population were almost serfs. The Germans meanwhile, although more primitive, are described as big and healthy, they have no priest class, elect their kings, and even their slaves according to Tacitus are more like tenant farmers and the line between them and freemen was very blurred. Northern Europe of course has much more Yamnaya DNA. Do you think the lack of development in northern Europe might come from not having a foreign conquered race of laborers to exploit? Even the Slavs didn't get serfdom proper until the 1600s.

What did you expected? After the fall of rome the germanic tribes fought itself then the turks came then the Vikings came then the black plague then the turks came again then the mongols then the plague again.
Things just changed after the church convinced the eropean kingdoms to unite and fight the ottomans for the control of the sea.

Look how the Jews were rewarded for deicide under a Christian Rome.
Charles 1 was a mass murdering jewcuck race traitor. if not for him and his brother the germanic peoples of europe may still have a living connection to their original culture and religion. There is your fucking holocaust "they will all be conveted! even if it must be by fire and sword! such things as slaughtering a noncombatant village of 4500, every man woman and child.
Josiah Murphy
but its true. He didnt say "nothing" but "very little" which is simply a fact when compared with the period before it.
Anthony Sullivan
Spreading the religion invented by jews for their slaves makes him a bitch ass piece of scum. Thunor is God!

Medieval Europe was a paradise socially

>a fact when compared with the period before it literally the opposite rome has been declining since augustus also the monastery network was the greatest boon to science europe ever had

>such things as slaughtering a noncombatant village of 4500, every man woman and child. I disdain christianity too, and I know about Verden, but what is the source on the women and children thing? I thought those 4,500 were the chiefs of the Saxon rebels who broke the treaty with the Franks?
