why when people want to call something particularly ruthless and violent they say it's "medieval", as if Middle Ages were particularly violent, while the worst atrocities in history started with the beginning of the modern age? (genocidal colonization of America, slavery etc)
>>
Because "how good" a time period was is based upon the general quality of life for white europeans at that time.

Seeing as until you reach quite a long distance east nowhere else was relevant or significant until Europe showed up.

Medievil europe sucked for the average fella.

Eh...it's nuanced

Medieval times were extremely violent on an everyday level: like worse than Detroit, 70's New York, Compton, or the South Side of Chicago. Like holy shit casual violence, rape, and murder.

But in terms of wholesale slaughters, purges, genocides, and massacres? The modern age is worse.

modern period is suffering for everyone else, while middle ages can be a problem for you personally.

>>2782740
Per capita the medieval period was more violent than the modern era.

>>2782740
Because it was the time period between the height of Rome and the 'enlightenment' so must have been barbaric even though more Latin was spoken back then

No one other than retarded progressives ever does that. The same goes for using the word "barbaric" as an insult.

I've seen those statistics but I bet it's bullshit. that whole article was talkin about increasing state power and whining about religion IIRC

>>2783639
Regardless of the religious stuff, don't you think more effective government would have a positive effect on homicide rates historically? I want to hear your refutation.
>>
>>2783647
of course it does, but I think the decrease in crime is more about technological progress
