I honestly think we as a fandom take for granted how ridiculous the concept of the impala is. Like there’s these two guys, whose whole thing is that they need to stay under the radar and avoid law enforcement, and then they’re driving the most gorgeous, most conspicuous car you’ve ever seen in your life. And the funny thing is that the longer the show goes on, the more conspicuous it gets. I mean driving between jobs is one thing, but if you’re trying to stake out a house or tail someone, your beautiful vintage car is not fucking helping you. And when you first start watching your like “ok fine Dean really likes his car I guess” but then you get deeper and you’re like no. The car is their home, their armory, their safe place. It’s a symbol of their family, a catalog of their lives. And it’s probably on at least 6 FBI watchlists.

Rip Baby. Your like shall never be seen again.

“the mind of a medieval person was foreign and incomprehensible” factoid is false. the average medieval person was pretty normal. the chivalric death cult, whose members were known to literally die if prevented from riding to war, was an outlier and should not have been counted

On hearing of Anjou’s death, a tailor of Orleans named Guillaume le Jupponnier, when “overcome with wine,” burst into a tirade in which can be heard the rarely recorded voice of his class. “What did he go there for, this Duke of Anjou, down there where he went? He has pillaged and robbed and carried off money to Italy in order to conquer another land. He is dead and damned, and the King St. Louis too, like the others. Filth, filth of a King and a King! We have no King but God. Do you think they got honestly what they have? They tax me and re-tax me and it hurts them that they can’t have everything we own. Why should they take from me what I earn with my needle? I would rather the King and all kings were dead than that my son should be hurt in his little finger.”

I went looking for more information on Guillarme le Jupponier, and found this article, which points to a slew of similar speeches in European and US history– and, crucially, the fact that Guillarme le Jupponier was released after that speech, not tortured or executed, because it was acknowledged that his sentiments were extremely common.

Studying nearly 1,100 rebellions in France, the Low Countries and Italy stretching back to 1200 the historian Samuel Cohn discovered that instead of hat-in-hand deference, “genuine, heartfelt hatred for a king or queen is easy to find.”

can we pause on that? 1100 rebellions?!?

i'm not specifically talking about u op but it does feel like people think the concept of class war is something more speculative than like an observation of the history of state violence throughout the centuries as mentalities goes i think treating past subjects either as different as aliens or as familiar as fellow countrymen is a disservice but that's kind of the point of historical materialism... our cultures and cosmovisions are different but we are all of us subjected to certain material conditions that are more easily accessible as a tool of reconstructing living conditions anyway guillotine and liberation historical materialism
