WFRP's is a more post-modernist, post-hippie and utterly cynical viewpoint that dominates our current paradigm. You could call it 'apocalyptic' but in fact for reasons I will bring up later that'd be totally wrong. It's just nihilistic. It is the view that is left to us when we are taught that nothing is actually true, nothing is actually worthy of being maintained, nothing can be held up and only naive idiots think anything is worth fighting for, except maybe for tearing down and destroying everything. In WFRP you play the 'good guys' but you actually root for the bad guys. The lords of Chaos are the cool ones, as everyone knows, but more importantly they're the ones who are RIGHT. Law is a sucker's bet. It's doomed. And so all the paladins and heroes who fight for law are basically morons, and this is part of the (civilization-hating) joke.
It's not in any way a medieval view. Or early modern, or enlightenment, or victorian. It is a moral paradigm that can only possibly exist in this utterly spoiled generation of self-hating westerners.
The medieval worldview is a world where things matter. It is a world where everything has meaning. It makes individuals living under that paradigm much more significant and conversely much less self-centered than in our post-modern paradigm that says nothing at all is meaningful except your most immediate feelings and impulses.

This isn't even an original post, this is a stripped down portion of the Rpgpundit shitting on Warhammer for not being as medieval as his shitty Dark Albion, which is just the War of the Roses with more magic and national stereotypes.
>>46188153
I'd agree Warhammer is a product of the punk movement, a destruction of good value which left nothing but sjw cucks in the present.
>>46188418
But Warhammer is not medieval, but early modern.

If the evidence suggests that humankind and all its religions is just animate biological matter and its electro-chemical connections. So be it, no amount of philosophy will change that.

He doesn't know that, and there's less than 100 years between the superposed eras.

So he just shat on it without reading, and looking at his blog, he spends most of his time redpilling people and smoking?
Hypocrite

RPG Pundit is a fucking moron, as his alias makes immediately evident.

Who brags about smoking? Drinking yes, that gets repaired by the liver, but smoking is pushing cancerous material right into your lungs and blood stream.
>>46188418
Who?
>>46188153
Hrm. Okay.
Nihilism, contrary to most internet fuckwits isn't the disbelief in the meaning of things. Its the withdraw of belief in things to belief in the soul over doing things, the internal world, the meek found in what Nietzche called christian slave mentality. This would be even more common place in your medieval world view in which the the meaning of things is strongly distanced from the world, large focuses on the soul and the afterlife. The individual in a medieval society mattered even less than now, and mattered in even fewer ways.
Post modernism isn't a belief in nothing either. Its a critical examination of grand narratives and structures, with the aim of come to multiple points of meaning rather than a singular one dictated from a position of power.
Your problems with modernist (we're not post modern, the narratives and centralized ideological power of humanist projects and integrated capital is still very much the mainstay of the much of the world) self-centered orientations is a product of consumerism. Turns out humans made structures that are very good at selling themselves via our desires to continue.
tl'dr you don't know what any of those word mean and ur a faggot

For sigmar I will site thee fiend; your corpse shall burn before the peasants that you have tried convincing.
Darkness shall not cover this land as long as a single soul looks to the Lord of light!
