   @weaf @Umlaut @nugger @DW2 Roving warbands and commonplace violence are the natural state of humanity, this current society is an illusion that is fading

     @Shadowman311 @weaf @Umlaut @nugger @DW2 All those amazing looking castles Anglo-Saxon Apu used to post back on Gab, people need to remember that all of those existed because the countryside was so dangerous and chaotic. Each one of those was a military instillation built to help people survive attacks by armies, raiders, and even bandits. The fact that Europe is so heavily sprinkled with the things speaks to just how dangerous life was, from the retreat of Rome right up until WW I.
     
     Imagine if a zombie plague kept breaking out, and to survive the occasional waves of flesh eating undead the living had to build fortifications they could retreat to. Now imagine we finally wipe out the zombies, but the fortifications remained, and our descendants preserved them out of nostalgia. That's what those castles are. They're beautiful and impressive, but their very existence is a reminder that the normal state of man is bloody war. We've forgotten that, and our children will suffer because of that lapse of memory.
