The absolute state of these christcucks claiming they built Western civilization when they literally caused the dark ages - imagine being so delusional you think your desert death cult "civilized" Europe while spending centuries destroying classical knowledge and shitting in the ruins of Roman buildings.

These historical revisionists are actually bragging about inheriting the greatest civilization on Earth and turning it into an illiterate shithole where people thought bathing was heresy. Fucking parasites spent generations burning books, murdering philosophers, and destroying art while claiming divine right to rule over peasants who couldn't read. Then their modern slaves on /pol/ try to take credit for civilization while coping about how great it was when their cult turned Europe into a disease-ridden wasteland of superstition and shit.

>destroyed the greatest empire in history
>turned classical knowledge into toilet paper
>caused centuries of civilizational collapse
>murdered anyone who could read Greek
>proudly maintained illiteracy as policy
>"We built Western civilization!"
Pure narcissistic historical revision from brainwashed slaves who think civilization is when you burn scientists for saying the Earth moves. These parasites still crying about their "contribution" to Europe while their ancestors turned Roman baths into torture chambers because cleanliness was "pagan."

i don't understand why medjeets blame germanic barbarians for the fall of rome when it was mainly the native christcucks that destroyed rome

at least barbarian rulers like theodoric tried to restore what was lost

Christians were just a symptom of foreign subversion that had been rotting Rome away for a while.

because pre christendom, rome was clan societies alike to muzzies except worse, oldest man of the family gets to decide if newborns are accepted or thrown into the trash, freed slaves still have to call him dad and give him portions of their earnings, families indebted to him have to support him politically, torture the disobedient at will and he can sell a son into slavery multiple times. Faith in the old gods died out because they tried being a less gay global homo society. Christianity was one of the many mystery cults that came from people not liking their traditions, it won out because it was the best.
Rome fell because bureaucrats gained power and tried to opeate like a command economy. The barbarians came in, tried to become part of rome, saw that the ruling class was backstabbing retards then went to the religious neets and saw they were the only competent people alive, then the general health and diet of the population improved for a bit.
Those Neets are what kept records of the classical world preserved, created the groundwork scientific method instead of letting food sounding arguments go unchallenged and funded scientists.
You're either an envious brownoid, a spastic who didn't like his parents taking him to church or cunt who doesn't like morality holding him back from enforcing his rationalised sadistic whims.
And what's with the bath house bit, they continued being things untill the black death.

I know it's bait, but I'll bite nonetheless. The "Dark Ages" as a term is a Renaissance-era meme pushed by humanists who wanted to dunk on the medieval period to hype up their own time. Modern historians like Gibbon or Burckhardt don't even use it seriously anymore. The fall of Rome wasn't caused by Christianity; it was a mix of internal decay (economic mismanagement, overreliance on slave labor, bloated bureaucracy) and external pressures (Germanic invasions, Huns, etc.). Christianity was the glue that held what was left together. Without it, you'd have no monasteries preserving texts, no Church infrastructure keeping literacy alive, no moral framework for the feudal system that eventually stabilized Europe.

>destroyed classical knowledge and shitting in the ruins of Roman buildings
>implying monks didn't copy Plato, Aristotle, and Virgil by hand for centuries
>ignoring that pagan Romans were already neglecting their own infrastructure (look at the aqueducts by 400 AD)
>pretending the Church didn't fund universities like Bologna and Paris by the 11th century

>turned Europe into a disease-ridden wasteland of superstition and shit
Plague hit everyone, pagan or Christian. The Church built hospitals, leper houses, and almshouses when no one else did. Superstition? Sure, but pagan Rome had its own augurs and entrail-readers. Christianity gave Europe a unified moral and intellectual framework, which led to the High Middle Ages, Gothic cathedrals, and eventually the Renaissance.

>murdered anyone who could read Greek
The Church kept Greek alive in the East (Byzantium) and West (monasteries). Aquinas was wrestling with Aristotle in the 13th century, translated from Greek via Arabic. If anything, Christians saved Greek philosophy from being forgotten entirely.

>proudly maintained illiteracy as policy
Flat-out lie. The Church ran schools, scriptoria, and universities. Literacy rates were low because most people were subsistence farmers, not because priests were burning books. Compare that to your idealized pagans, where only elites could read.

>burn scientists for saying the Earth moves
Galileo wasn't burned; he was put under house arrest for being a prick about it, not for heliocentrism itself. Copernicus, a literal priest, published heliocentrism with Church approval.

the Roman Empire was a shithole slave state though where the masses lived in bondage on richfags' estates

the early medieval period was an objective dark age for the sole fact there are relatively very few physical/written records; arguably Christianity played a role

the high/late middle ages were not so "dark" in this regard

>>17808077 (OP)
It would've been a lot harder for Christianity to spread if Rome didn't destroy other pagan nations.
Rome = globohomo

>>17809949
I know H.G. Wells condemned the RE in Outline of History as a brutal slave empire that was intellectually stagnant.

>>17810010
Fair point, but not fully.

>"arguably Christianity played a role"
>implying Christianity caused the lack of records rather than preserved what we have
>ignoring that pagan Rome’s collapse left a vacuum no one could fully fill
>forgetting monasteries were the only places bothering to copy anything

The early medieval period was chaotic because Rome’s centralized system imploded. Christianity didn’t “cause” the record shortage; it was the main thing keeping any records alive. Monasteries like Monte Cassino or St. Gall were copying manuscripts (Virgil, Cicero, Boethius) while warlords were torching villages. The Church’s scriptoria were the only consistent literacy hubs. Without them, we’d have even less (maybe nothing) of classical texts. Look at the Codex Amiatinus or the Lindisfarne Gospels; those aren’t the work of a civilization-hating cult.

>"the high/late middle ages were not so "dark" in this regard"
True, but the “Dark Ages” label overstates the case. Early medieval Europe wasn’t Athens, but it wasn’t a cultural void either.

Christians civilized Europe and now atheists are de-civilizing Europe. Not giving my opinion just stating a fact.

They are quite literally spiritual jews
