Peasants' War Part 2: Bloodbath

[@RichardHuffman]

Martin Luther: "We are all equal before god and the established order must be overturned." Peasants: "WE ARE ALL EQUAL BEFORE GOD AND THE ESTABLISHED ORDER MUST BE OVERTURNED!" Martin Luther: "Not like that..." Thank you again for an engaging and thoughtful presentation!!!

@@fleadoggreen9062Over time ML gained the support of various nobles who were displeased by the “Holy” Catholic Church getting fat on acquired land, money, palaces and becoming as powerful in a worldly sense as any king. So ML turned political so as to prevent the Mob from tearing down all social order. Where you find yourself on the spectrum of “individual liberty” versus “hierarchical order” is up to you.

An exceptional presentation by an outstanding presenter. ❤

[@tscully1504]

Just a postscript: A few rebel survivors went into the Alpine areas (Switzerland) and were part of the formation of the Anabaptist movement which started as the German Peasants War ended. One difference in this sect was a strong non-violent creed. Although almost extinguished in Europe descendants of this movement still exist today as Amish, Mennonites and Hutterites.

[@permafrost7781]

Underrated history there. That would make a nice episode too.

[@evaschubert1]

Yes the Mennonites were explicitly pacifist, in contradiction to some of the more violently inclined Anabaptists like Melchior Hoffman. They get mentioned briefly in Reformation Ep 5: Wars of Religion, but they could definitely be a good series on their own.

[@permafrost7781]

@ Wow, I keep forgetting you have a 5 part series called The Reformation which includes Wars of Religion. What a classic series that was, how I found this channel. Need to watch those again, very well explained and interesting thanks for making them and all the others, all are great.

[@1962brennan]

When I came back to the US I ended up in a small town with lots of Amish. They are a trip. I have a bad joke for every occasion including the Amish. Did you hear about the Amish woman having an affair?... She had two Mennonite lol.

This was brilliant! I got a brief introduction to our own great reformatory and industrialist Hans Nielsen Hauge at the Hans Nielsen Hauge - Center at Rolvsøy, Fredrikstad, this summer. Hauge and his followers took the advantage of house devotions, supported by King Christian VI of Denmark, and an emerging Capitalism, to gain influence in Norway. Some historians, like Berge Furre, regard Hauge as the most important Norwegian that ever lived. The Haugians started hundreds of industrial project, like the copper mines of Sara Oust, a woman who became a significant leader both as a lay preacher and as an industrialist. They had all in common, as the German peasants visioned it. The Norwegian Pietist Movement was the most important movement in establishing a new vision for Norway from 1814, when we got our constitution, and the shared values of Norwegian and Swedish pietists might was the reason for why we got a peaceful separation from Sweden in 1905. The third wave of Norwegian Pietism, strongly influenced by Rosenius of Sweden, grow huge here I live now, by the Totenåsen Hills. Then all the fights were won, all the 12 articles of the German Peasants were probably implemented in Norwegian society, although I cannot say this for sure, so it was just like a big celebreaton or party. My great grandfather Even Helmer was at the peak of this celebration, as we celebrate our 150 years anniversary of our time in his mill meadow here below the Totenåsen Hills this year, where we see this celebration as the final victory for the German peasants. The Hans Nielsen Hauge Center has a famous play every year in Fredrikstad Old Town, called "Det brenner en ild". You should try to join this play next year, plus ordering a lecture at the Hauge Center. My recommendation!

Part 1 & 2 should be part of History classes! When the lessons of past problems are not learned and acted on, they will be repeated again and again. Speaking of Germany, the "peasants" are getting angry again. Heck, in the entire Western World, the peasants are getting tired of the Elite's shenanigans. We are nothing to them except assets to make them wealthier and maintain power. Just as an aside ES, I originally tuned into your music videos because I saw a gorgeous woman.

In this context I mention E. Michael Jones would seek to re-establish the power of the Catholic Church. He calls the Reformation, Martin Luther, Protestantism as nothing more than piracy. He has appeared in numerous podcasts and has written numerous books. It is interesting to ponder his thinking as a committed Catholic reactionary in the light of this presentation.

Not surprised by the praise forthcoming from the Pope. The same Roman Catholic Church that held a special celebratory mass when word reached them of the slaughter of the Huguenots. Shocking how much violence and corruption the Roman Catholic Church has condoned, sponsored, and encouraged throughout its existence.

[@areyougonnaarresther]

And then the Protestants said “hold my beer” and are beating them at their own game to this day😂😂😂

[@big566bunny]

True. The Church has always supported a rigid hierarchical ordering of society, with the Church at the top. I remember during the era of the repressive dictatorships in Latin America the Church was always on the side of the dictator, aside from a few of the local clergy.

Gotz's hand is in a museum inside Jagsthausen Castle. It's now a Castle Hotel and restaurant. Gotz's own castle, Hornburg is still there and nearby on the Neckar River and fairly intact and well worth a visit. Really like how detailed your studies are.

[@harrydecker9159]

The wisdom of the establishment of a novel constitutional order in the United States of America drew on lessons from history. Among them the principles of liberty and equality, that it is a republic, that the United States would confer no aristocratic titles of honor, and church and state are formally separated in a clause that sets equal value on nonestablishment of religion and its free exercise.

[@ThomasSimmons-u5x]

Been waiting for this kid, #1 was top shelf. I was Lutheran, left for labor left politics. With the collapse of everything remotely connected to what seems to be Western Civilization, I came back to a (consevative)? LCMS congregation. Very much an AIamo maneuver, and still struggling with my Christianity and a working class sensibility fed to me from swaddling clouts... What is my point? Just thanks, kid... this is an even handed deal of what, the more I thought about it, this peasants revolt, may have, for better or worse been the event that kicked off modernism in all its tragic, glorious pathos.

[@mollybloom5681]

The expression "Kiss my ar.." - also known as the "Swabian Salute" kind of goes back to Götz von Berlichingen. In a famous late 18th century play named after the guy with the iron hand, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the uberfather of German literature put an even more colourful version of this in the mouth of Götz ("lick my ar..") I suppose, this captures what the man was all about. Colourful, indeed.
