There's something like one successful peasant revolt in the entirety of the middle agesBrugmans wrote: ↑ March 20th, 2025, 13:26It's curious how the evil knights always get slaughtered in an epic battle against the peasants/yeomen/burghers/leftist self-insert faction, then after the pop-history Youtube video ends, they somehow win the war and stay in power.maidenhaver wrote: ↑ March 20th, 2025, 01:30Regular chumps with pointy sticks beating elites has been a theme in the West since the 1300s.UltraFan123 wrote: ↑ March 19th, 2025, 22:29
Unironically true.
The actual historically accurate samurai were elitist chumps who were in fact so incompetent in warfare - the one thing that they were supposed to be good at - that regular peasants were able to beat them with farming tools. That's why they began to make up ******** stories about how these ninjas had "magical powers" that their sorry asses couldn't counter.
So now we have folk stories about "ninjutsu" that inspired plenty of manga/anime to this day, because historical samurai were ********. kek
You won't hear how ******** knights and chivalry are from tradlarps
**** systemic racism keeping the black-headed peasants down.
and it wasn't for a lack of trying
