The whole video is interesting. Not a viewpoint you'll see if you are Nostr only due to the usual Jack circle jerk around here. A jack-off if you will.

I get your point, but I'm not so sure that is a historically accurate way to say it. Modernity demonizes the middle ages to justify itself. "Fathers, kings and clerics are oppresors." "Men are all rapey and bad." Therefore we need the modern state to take all their local power away and "give us rights." That's the foundational myth of the control system. What if it isn't true? What if men are not all oppressors and it's actually better for competent men to hold local authority? To lead families and churches and even little independent kingdoms?...
