Aren't democracies always like that?

@@FoggyMcFogFace I will calm down when the current outbreak of Democracy ends and we won't see it for another millennia or two. I'm so fucking sick of being ruled over by the merchant cast! They only care about money and power so there is no moral impetus like there is with the priestly cast or the warrior cast in charge, who cares about virtues like dignity, modesty, fairness and honor. Liberal democracy is the ideology of the devil, luring you with the sweet siren call of liberation and self gratification, but those constraints he want to "help" you liberate yourself from is actually everything that is good, just, holy and moral.

​@@FoggyMcFogFace How do I get it mixed up? It's obvious to anyone that spends a modicum of time thinking about it that whom ever rules in a democracy is whoever control the easily manipulated masses. So who is that? It's going to be the ones controlling information and the opinions of the masses, how does one do that? By controlling entertainment and news media. Who own that? The people who buys it because they got the money required and the lust for power to drive them. It's inevitable in a democracy that the masses are reduced to cattle being feed whatever narrative their masters find most useful for their agenda. It's also inevitable that the masters are going to be heartless manipulative merchants because they are the ones with the money and scheming personality to pull off the maneuvers to rise to the top in democracy. You spout off shit implying I'm wrong yet you make no arguments. You Imply I'm mentally unwell yet you are the only one that have something wrong with your head, you have the sickness of ignorance to be precise, and also the arrogance to be unable to see the flaws in your world view that you where feed by the media and the schools.

Hemmingstedt 1500. The Danes are likely to have outnumbered the peasant forces roughly 420 to one, having professional soldiers in form of German mercenaries and the danish nobility on their side the stats didnt look good for the peasants. They pulled of a some nice fortifications in form of a earth fort that cut of the only road and flooded the entire area during the days leading up to the battle while the Danes did what Danes do and pillaged a town further south for a few days. The now swamped road and treacherously deep freezing water surrounding blunted the Danish assault. After hours of unsuccessfully claiming the Dithmarscher strong point finally exhausted the morale of the Danish vanguard and caused a full route. The retreating danish army left behind their standard and many drowning men, including many nobles in the swamp.
