Yep! The sh!tshow is here again...

EE POK 😘

Look up en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/33_Thomas_Street and tell me that doesn't look like something H.R. Giger would have designed. Then, note the purpose the building now serves. Maybe there is a connection between morality and architecture.

He was usually the smartest guy in the room. Of course, back then there were fewer people in the room. 😉

what states the we are now?

So that's what it would be like to have a Christian leader.

So did US in Iraq and Afghanistan, we know how they end up in defeat. However, Russia is different in a way the proportion of North Korean is very small and limited unlike US. Russia can easily put down any ambition once Victory over is achieved

We need more videos on the great king Alfred

If anyone wants a good book about him, look up the white horse king

One of the most based kings ever

Alfred was a total stud

It's understandable how the post-Norman kings of England would feverntly follow anglo-Saxon saint cults. Even Richard II had the St Edward cross on his arms. Henry VI of England, once crowed king of France in the Notre-Dame had posters put on the wall of the church showing his bloodline from St Edmund and St Louis. Henry III named his son after Saint Edward the confessor. King John followed the saint cult of Saint Wulfstan. The rebel barons during the first barons war, used the Jewelled shrine of St Edmund at bury st edmunds at a base for their campaign.

King Alfred is my most favourite of all the English monarchs. If I was asked to pick one I'd want to meet, it would be him. (of course, if the legends were true, I MIGHT go with King Arthur). Most of the others seem to be people I'd rather stay well clear of.

Gothic Revival needs a revival

Great idea! Who needs a king? No king, no king, la la la la la la Idiots! There will be a king! Hey, but you said I will be king!

It wont take long now that Orange One is in charge again.

He was called The Great because he invented the famous fettuccine...

David Dawson's portrayal of Alfred in "The Last Kingdom" was my favorite part of the series, and he does an excellent job of showing just how pious and influential the real historical figure of Alfred was. His performance and the series overall are vastly under-appreciated.

Not to mention that King St. Alfred personally translated four works from Latin into Old English in love for the mind and soul of his people, essentially forming the first English literary canon, which yet today should be utilized in the education and formation of old and young alike. These works are the first third of the Psalter, St. Augustine's Soliloquies, St. Boethius' Consolation of Philosophy, and the Pastoral Rule of St. Gregory the Great which is mentioned in this video. St. Alfred commissioned many other translations, including St. Gregory's Dialogues, and would have been behind many more had he not reposed in the Lord so early in his life. May he ever intercede for cultural restoration in the English-speaking world and abroad, and may we be worthy of his prayers to Jesus Christ, our King and our God.

May God grant such a magnificent King to England again. What England is facing today is arguably worse than the 9th century.

Algo comment. Make more Alfred content!

St Alfred the Great pray for England

Comment for the Algorithm gods

Nice

you didn’t mention the Moguls they ruled for over 400 years

it is very symbolic that this decorator Pugin (and he was a decorator, not an architect. - he had no architectural education) had the last name Pugin - have pigeons ever been famous for their intelligence?)) by the way, the architecture of Gothic is borrowed from the East. even the crucifer at the top is a clove spice in precise construction, and the gargoyles are nothing other than Chinese dragons.. glory to Xi!

Ya but Rome is shit lol😂😂😂😂😂All the best ones know that😂😂😂😂😂

Chipotle and car dealerships are is our new cultural backbone

Vive la Vendee!

As a lover of history and Astrology, With The “United States” I don’t know how it’s going to play out, but I do know how it’s going to end.

Trump is proof that our time is almost up.

Imo the psychology of risk aversion drives rise and fall of not just empires but all collectives, more than any other factor. I think the author of that book has mistook symptoms for causes

Also, it is very easy to trick and manipulate people through democracy, without even catering to their emotions! The basic premise of bringing up a problem from 'experts' or people in charge to the ruling class and slant what is being said about the issue is probably one of the biggest flaws of it.

that was awesome

While I'm sure there is truth to the idea that there is a general pattern that civilization's follow as they rise and fall, I'm less worried about being subject to that pattern and more worried about its use as a political club by certain groups to bludgeon others they deem as "decadent." Even setting aside any implications for the present, I question the use of value-laden concepts that attempt to understand broad, sweeping historical processes in moral terms. A term like "decadence" is an example of how this particular schema is imposed "from above," so to speak, potentially bending the data of history to fit theory, as opposed to the other way around, and judging the society in terms that might've been entirely alien to them. One person's decadence is another's freedom, or even a third person's religious imperative. Whose metric should we rely on? Should we judge the terminal phase of the Mayan civilization based on what they-themselves would find decadent, what we find decadent in their behaviour as modern observers, or is there some absolute frame of reference we can use that is entirely free of cultural bias? Somethings are objectively harmful, such as prioritizing short-term gains at the expense of long-term stability, but others are only proposed as harmful based on cultural, religious, or political considerations. It's not that I don't see value in comparing and contrasting the historical arc of different civilizations, I just question why they never seem to rest at their descriptive use, but always seem to contain an implicit _prescriptive_ element. Our own civilization always seems to be at the last stage of the proposed cycle according to some laundry list of political gripes the creator or proponent of the model holds us as proof of our society's moral bankruptcy.

This architect is truly based and blessed. I want to see a whole city built in such an architecture style, such as Gothic, Traditional Christian, Tartarian, Victorian, or Warhammer 40k type of architecture. It's like architecture commonly depicted in isekai/magical kingdom animes. I really hate brutalist and Bahaus architecture, it looks like from a dystopian science fiction, so depressing. Almost as if there's a conspiracy to suppress the human spirit and cultural heritage through ugly architecture.

Mercenaries always reach the realization. We are poor, are armed, and are willing to use them. Our employers are rich, are not armed, and can't use them is they did. The logic at that point is inescapable.

Our fatal Flaw is Original Sin, our or tendency to say "NO" to God.

Despite this warning and all the flaws of mercenaries - this business is quite flourishing!

An interesting and intelligible summary. You mention stone being hauled in by oxen. In the case of Christchurch (Dorset, UK) Priory, which is cathedral size, the stone came mainly from Purbeck (along the coast) and Caen (France.) It was mainly transported by boat as was much of the material for Old Westminster Abbey, Rouen Cathedral, Norte Dame and others with convenient, navigable rivers. Cheaper, quicker and allowing larger loads and individual blocks.

Can we bring back feudalism?!

faith has NOTHING to do with architecture. it is the love and belief in men's hearts, and thinking that buildings can contribute to this is pure idolatry because at its very best it is carnal, being will of the flesh, emotion evoked by men and worth nothing

MURICA 2024

Augustus Pugin was a free*mason. Those amazing cathedrals are much older than they say.

Machiavelli believed the best form of Government was a Republic. "The Prince" may be the best known, because it is short and brutally direct, but does not describe how government should be.

Totally agree,a nation that subscribes to sodomy and adultery before you can hold a job or have access to power is destined to fail! America has gone down that road from at least the 1950’s. America will not truly succeed unless and until this process imposed by our government ie ended!
