VDH nails it in his discussion about the Medeivalization of the modern world and the regressivism that is at the root of what we are doing.

I won't excerpt it; too many good points. You need to read it for yourself. But I will make a few observations of my own about how we are now in the new Middle Ages.

Serfdom was common during the Medieval period. Unlike slavery where a person is simply owned outright, a serf was technically not owned by his Lord but he still couldn't leave his job without permission and he had to give a percentage of what he earned to the Lord in return for said Lord's protection.

We have serfdom now. If someone comes here under a H1B visa they have to work for their employer and may not simply leave their job lest they be deported. They are serfs, bound to a protecting Lord. Oh, they may wear white shirts and ties to work rather than sackcloth but it is the same principle.

And, as in the Middle Ages, serfs drove the wages of free men down considerably as they worked for far less.

In fact during that period it was worse to be a free man than a serf and there is much literature singing the praises of serfdom over freedom. You had military protection from the Lord. You could go to his castle and hide when the Norsemen came. The Lord owed you fealty so if you had a crop failure and couldn't feed your family he would be obliged to send you welfare. If you had trouble with your neighbor he would adjudicate.

Sound familiar? Sounds very much like the Democratic Party of today.

And the Lords were forever seeking to expand their holdings, and often did so at the expense of the freemen who worked their own land. They would lend money to these small holding farmers at usurious rates and then foreclose on them - much like what we see corporations doing to small farmers in America today.

And there were endless rules and regulations coming down from the King and from the nobility which squeezed the independent merchants and farmers.

The Middle Ages was also a time of mass immigration, be it the Danes who invaded and settled in England or the English themselves - children of Anglos and Saxons who drove out the aboriginal Britons, driving them into the western mountains of Wales. You had Normans who came with the second sons of almost every country in Europe, who conquered and settled. Of course. These illegal aliens fundamentally transformed Britain from a Germanic kingdom into what it would become. An Englishman from the year 1000 wouldn't be able to make heads or tails of what we say and we wouldn't understand them either.

And during this period the Church owned much of the land and ran it for the benefit of Rome, just as now the government owns much of the land and runs it for the benefit of Washington.

It was a time of vast corruption, which ultimately led to the Protestant Reformation. Today we live in a society of vast corruption.

They also didn't understand wealth, thinking it was just precious metals and gems. Today we don't understand wealth, thinking it is just an idea and we can create it by printing money.

At any rate we are very much living in a modern Middle Age, and indeed we will be in a Dark Age as the technology slips away after the big collapse comes, which will be soon as the nations of the Earth are going to all go bankrupt in a few years.

Science will continue just as it did in the Medieval period but it will work differently. No more government funding (in the Middle Ages it was Church funding primarily).

And they had the Inquisition to enforce conformity with their doctrines just as we have DEI being enforced by Antifa and BLM and the Southern Poverty Law Center and the l like.

At any rate all I can see when I look at the Democrats are fat, drunken Feudal lords sitting on thrones and jesters in their silly costumes (think AOC or Ilham Omar) entertaining the hanger-on courtesans.

Welcome to Medieval America!
