Como católico, también condeno los duelos, porque son en el fondo el odio hacia el otro, al asesinato adornado. Sin embargo, es una parte simbólica importante de nuestra civilización, sin olvidar que los duelos pueden ser convocados o usados para cometer una injusticia y aprovecharse de otro.

This is a Christian apologists channel😂

Democracy is and always was a moral evil.

in medieval times, professional armies were not big, they needed to gather peasants and monks to defend their country or just war. today, the country already has their own professional army, unless it is broken and needs support from civilians

Christianity is manly

Well, now I learned two things: 1. Being a duelist was for some males the medieval equivalent of hitting the gym when you have to handle some anger issues or violence tendency. 2. Make Tyson was right on how disrespect used to be fought indirectly by the chance of being punched in the face.

What a great video. I hope you succeed. I have lost hope as of late

Very interesting. Thankyou. I have subscribed... 🙂👍🌻

Trading one cult for another.

Around 1920, there appeared a term for this: "presentism," or the "presentist fallacy." Somehow, an idea or an act seems more valid when it's given a name.

modern "duels" are fought in the digital space, with petty insults and "your mother" jokes

nice

I think Tocqueville’s comments on how individualism can devolve into hedonism b/c of a lack of social bonds is very insightful. (It seems that one of the often repeated remedies to excessive hedonism is an appeal to social bonds: “What would your mother say if she saw you doing that?”, “What would your friends at church think?”, etc. (The eroding of this check by a “no judgment here” mentality is unhelpful. Hopefully this phenomenon will become more obvious and spur us to self-reflection at last.)

The poor and working class settled their differences with fists, the middle class with lawyers, but gentlemen met at dawn. "Pistols for two and coffee for one."

No dishwasher, no tap water (probably the biggest one), no laundry machine. Handmade cloths, handmade lighting (rush lights), hand hewn firewood for heating. Mostly handmade tools (handles, wooden rakes, pitchforks, brooms, carts, baskets), handmade furniture, handmade home. There was always something that needed fixing. I’m sure they had enough to do in their “free time”.

Folks here admire peasants from the past but will view indentured farmers in Latin America, SE Asia, India, & Africa as living in extreme poverty or even slavery. The past isn't as glamorous as we think it is.

Imagine, you are coming home form a long travel to see your wife and young children. You need to work diligently to plant your crops so your family will not starve, but there are "honorable gentlemen with dignity and respect" challenging you to a duel at a bridge. You have a duty to your family to provide for them and work your land, and you are not skilled at jousting, but in order to appease the sick and twisted social pressures of "honor", you must enter a fight that will kill you and leave your children fatherless and your bride a widow. This video is a farce and is promoting evil and destructive behavior. A society must establish laws based on morals, and as a group, you can put down the evil within your group. The law "An eye for an eye" is a limiting law because by nature of brutes, they would murder for an insult and murder a family for the loss of an eye.

It is still like this today. Research "Cracker Culture" to see how the history of dueling and "ruff and tumble" fighting was the precursor of today murders over being "dissed". This video is romanticizing uncivil rule by force and not by morals or laws. This cracker culture is also the source of lynching or mob murder without trial. A righteous man is more likely to overlook an insult. This is directly taught by God. Dueling among wrathful and wicked families have always, and all over the globe, lead to long family or clan feuds. Some clans in Papua New Guinea halfheartedly cast spears at each other because they are under this same cultural pressure, but they also seek the help of Australia's government to constrain them. The cause of the feud was long forgotten and they long for the real answer: rule by law.

Time for a revival.

Honour has been Lost as we Know It.

I’d be very pleased if more people from our side of things got into HEMA. Tragically, it tilts left

This ? The death warrant of the so called West...yes let's see

Imagine if society was still like this today

Imagine a world where men/people behaved with dignity, respect, manners, and honor, to the point where dueling would be an option, yet never needed.

This brings up a lot of issues with freedom of speech. 😅

Can y'all link y'all's sources? Not tryna sound skeptical I want to read more about these topics

Outstanding

Wow. He was right

God granting Israel a King was an act of judgment (Hosea 13:11); Israel was a theonomic republic prior to King Saul (Exodus 18:21). The Scots, Anglo Saxons, and English elected their kings through popular sovereignty; the Normans instituted the divine right of kings and hereditary succession in the British isles.

Feudalism was based on balance of three elements: nobility, peasantry and Church. Nobility was providing protection against external threats, peasantry was providing labour and the church was keeping both of them at bay, preventing slavery and excess cruelty.

Ever since the nuclear family came under attack, and they took a God out of schools. Mingled with opioids and other drugs pushed on the streets, our nation has been doomed from the get-go.

A light in the darkness, this channel is.

And then all the nobles were sent to the meat grinder in the 100 years war.(of France at least, England were already dead by that point.)

We were THIS close to having automatons. We could say we were Near Automata.

Way too many comments sympathise for a religious institution that existed not for the good of the people but to legitimize the monarchy. The Catholic Church was rotten and continues to be rotten, so much so that even the pope has admitted the clergy molest kids. Say whatever you want about the French Revolution but I'll take this reality over the feudal shithole of the monarchy any time.

Thank you making for making this! Classroom worthy work

Interesting that the narrator mentions “revolting societies” but doesn’t really goes into details… smart of him. Maybe peasants had a little more guarantees because they were skilled at many things. But that’s about it. Being a serf is not a great deal. Capitalism and industrialization ripped the little autonomy peasants had, destroying their communities and shoving them into slums working 100 hours weeks for a potato. Time for socialism!

As a muslim living in France, I feel bad for my Christian brothers (the real ones, not the paganized) and living here jas made my faith stronger as we do face a lot of roadblocks amd we will take our revenge inshAllah. PS: Muslims living in Britain should be thankful for having such a tolerant and accepting place to call home.

Monks built my parents caskets. They were amazing. I miss my parents. Also, thank you monks.

Your explanation of this scheme is heavily US-centric and far-fetched. I like Lev Gumilev's take on the Rise and Fall of Civilizations. Specifically his theory of passionarity explosion

It seems likely that, in the comptition among religions, the next one to emerge as predominate in Europe may be Islam and the next one to emerge as predominate in the Unites States is more likely to be the worship of Mother Earth than the worship of the godddess of Reason. It didn't dawn on me until a few years ago, but the word, "Chrisitianity", is understood among English speaking people as a collection of traditions that have more in common with the polytheistic Romans of two thousand years ago than with the teachings of Jesus. How many of the professed "Christians" of your acquaiintance have even read the Gospels for themselves? I mean evrything Matthew, Mark, Luke and John wrote about what Jesus said. There may be some, hundreds of thousands, even. But that is a tiny fraction of the more than one billion people who profess to be Christians. Pitiful!

Commies Wokies and Marxies are just basically ISIS which doesn't believe in God

Though interesting, you either need to speak louder or turn the singing down.

Great video. I love this kind of stuff!

Outstanding five minutes video. Subbed.

You didn't mention the Byzantine "Throne of Solomon", which had roaring automaton lions and birds

You forgot f the jews, by martin luther

Democracy is toxic and is exploitation

The line between human and automaton is blurred?

Even in medieval times, Spanish priest Domingo Martínez de Presa built automatas, kind of mechanical robots. The thing is most things were fascinating, but for entertainment reasons only, not for innovative and push technology.
