Yes, it's a real thing. Same in college - medieval history is being taken by white supremacists students.

I suppose that's an opportunity to teach the students about the importance of Maimonides and Avicenna.

You'd think medieval history would attract Muslim extremists and Chinese ultra-nationalists, not white supremacists, considering how backward Christian Europe was at the time.

So Paradox is a White Supremacist platform. 

It's Vice....

Here's how their journalism works.

White supremacists don't care about "backwardness" (and neither do historians, tbh): white supremacists care about whiteness, and jerk off to the idea of Crusades.

Medieval History is more than the Dark Ages in Europe though.

Smiting in general I imagine, of which there was plenty.

Smiting? You mean violence?

Smiting? You mean violence?

With edged weapons, to be specific.

Takes backs.  You can smite with any melee weapon, like a mace or hammer.

Not in universities in the West.

Oh, yes. It's part of the current crypto-fascist obsession with strength (as befit fascists) and the alleged weakness of their enemies (see "c*u*c*k", "snowflakes", "pussies", homophobic rhetoric because gay = weak, Jewish money, incel resentment against non-submissive women, rah-rah guns, etc., etc.). The Middle Ages are seen as a period which appropriately glorified might.

I should know. I teach a class on violence from 15th - 17th century. I now have to address these issues first hand.

Edit: I had forgotten that Jacob rightfully trolled Marti by censoring c*u*c*k with "kind and sensitive person".
