Weren't they conquered and enslaved by Spain
There are people on /his/ who unironically believe class struggle existed before the 19th century
>>451359
seems like before the 19th century, people believed that you were simply born into your lot in life because you either deserve it or god demanded it. seems pretty logical for the times. this whole idea of "they have more than me because they oppress me" is silly because 9 times out of 10, they have more than you because they are better than you in every way.

I see you have strong opinions on the feudal mode of production not being a mode of production, why don't you be forthright about them.

I had a very socialist teacher once and talked about medieval pre industrial europe as if it was a golden age of socialism and self reliance, where people shared the open land and bartered for goods while the lords watched over from afar with little meddling.
Is there some kind of academic sect of socialism that actually believes this?
Okay /his/, do you think you've learned more reading Wikipedia or lurking this board?

Are the Gaelic languages of the British Isles closer to Germanic or Romantic languages?
DNA evidence doesn't always go hand in hand with linguistics of course, but we can usually see relativity in the former with locations and neighbouring relationships between two areas, ie. Belgium and the Netherlands, the Netherlands and Germany, Sweden and Norway, Ireland and Scotland, etc. With this in mind, the British Isles is located notably closer to say, Germany, than it is to Spain, yet both of these nations have Celtic in their history. This also pushes the question of...

Celtic languages were closer to Italic branch of Indo-European languages thus Latin. (There is considered a larger Celto-Italic language family). Back then Celtic languages sounded a lot closer to Latin and Greek frequently ending in "-os" or "-us.". Although culturally Celtic peoples have much more similarities with Germanic peoples

Interesting, please do go on if you can.
What supporting evidence can you find for what you've said?
Some kind of closer connection between the Celtic, Italic, and Germanic languages (as a subfamily of Indo-European) has been suspected for a long time. A lot of people are looking at the Bell Beaker Culture of the Bronze Age as a possible shared ancestor.

lel christfags actually bought into this obvious powergrab
That verse is taken out of context.

I DO NOT THINK THAT YOU HAVE THE CAPACITY TO COMPREHEND THE METAPHYSICAL CONCEPTS CONTAINED IN THE BIBLE —OR IN ANY OTHER THEOLOGICAL SCRIPTURE—, NOR DO I THINK THAT YOU KNOW WHAT BEING AN AUTHENTIC CHRISTIAN ENTAILS, OR IMPLIES.
Do you think we could send out a message to the rest of the world?
One that would stir a change in people?
One that would inspire hope and courage to overcome petty differences?
Enough to settle our differences and bring about an era of peace and thus prosperity as a result of human collective collaboration?
Can we do it because we could work together to create a piece of literature that can stir base levels of emotion to forgo fear and abandon the power the few cling to the little this planet has in comparison to what the universe could have?...

How was life as the average crusader? Good? Bad? Somewhere in between?
They were opportunists and bandits taking orders from the Pope.
Brainwashed Catholics fighting for Babylon and their crypto pagan cult.
They sacked Constantinople, bunch of savages.

>They sacked Constantinople, bunch of savages.
durr its almost as if the byzantine emperor didn't renege on a deal and his debts to the crusaders because of his own incompetence
They were mercenaries.
Europe was a feudal shithole, so people wanted to escape that.
What were some notoriously lawless areas in history? Areas like the Scottish Border or the American frontier where people had to enforce their own rights and government/law officials fought tooth and nail just to keep the whole shitshow going? Blood feuds, cattle raids that sort of stuff.

Does anyone else find it funny how Darwin uses the first book of the Bible to justify evolution?
>Remember what happened to the other thinkers who went against the Holy Mother Church's status quo, Charles
>Don't become like them
>Save your ideas for a wiser posterity; appeal to the Church for now in hopes of kinder future
And that's how Charles Darwin became one of the most important men of the 19th century.

Charles Darwin was a Christian
