        Probably fewer Goths sacking and pillaging. The modern ones are more artistic and morose as opposed to their violent historical namesakes.

        People didn’t know shit that wasn’t relayed to them by the village elder. They probably thought God cursed them for having sex or the independent woman (who lives alone in the woods and recently rejected the village elder’s sexual advances towards her children) is a witch and needs to die because they cursed them or some shit back in the day.

          While this is true, you should look up the fall of Rome and a lot of the accepted factors. Its scary how close we mirror them today. Our pols are reading from their playbook, they may not even know it.
