Meaning is survival. Culture is refuge. Paganism is salvation.

Let’s rebuild the soul of the world.

@orthobilly I think paganism is the obvious option for religious people who can't accept Christianity but still have a desire to engage with the European cultural heritage.

@Trierarch81 @Timstillherelol Russian propaganda really did a number among moldovans recently.
But the dream was always of a united, singular state for all romanians

[Vladislav Vlahu @lavraciu]

@_OrthoInfo_ @vlad_hiraeth Also, Vlad is such a based name

[Vladislav Vlahu @lavraciu]

@_OrthoInfo_ @vlad_hiraeth The Ai shouldn't be taken seriously.
The existence, survival, and spread of the name Vlad can't have anything to do with Christianity but has everything to do with the existence, survival, and spread of slavic cultures.
The name survived despite Christianity, not because of it.

"Your ancestors have been Christian for 1,000 years, so why aren't you?"

Because my Christian ancestors are no longer Christians.

They died and faced our gods. Most now reside in our ancestral halls watching and praying over me.

Why would I make the same mistake they did?

Given what we know about Indo-European cultures, the priestly class both created and controlled the myths.

Myths were preserved through memorization by a specialized class. In origin that class was not much more than a local wiseman, but on religious matters his word was absolute. The myths are a core part of that religion. Random people did not nor could have just decide on the theology of the tribe.

Other priests in other tribes could have different ideas and slightly different myths, and this is how we have different local traditions and different traditions entirely across the Indo-European world.

However, myths are not stories created by chatting casually around a fire with your friends. This was the product of the organized intelligentsia of the ancient world.

Among the Celts, as with the Vedic priests, extensive memorization was required. The entire origins of their people, myths, history and genealogy had to be committed to memory over decades.

Myths are not folktales, though folktales frequently appropriate myths.

@Is1dore They also wrongly use a stylised flower from slavic culture as a symbol for dacian paganism

[Vladislav Vlahu @lavraciu]

@JuanIgn04826747 @SlavlandStalker You really think so?
If islam and protestantism are the same thing, you wouldn't really see any problem if most of the Western world would fully convert to Islam
But you look like a too reasonable person to actually believe that

@karpaten_vampir @daily_romania Vlad the Impaler wasn't kuman.
It's a baseless theory made by someone without formal studies in history.
It was never taken seriously by any academics.

@undecommission @nemzeti_oldal 14th century **

[Vladislav Vlahu @lavraciu]

@undecommission @nemzeti_oldal No, I didn't.
There were romanian nobles in Transylvania in the 15th century. Just think of the founders of the medieval state of Moldova, for example. They came from Maramures.
I also didn't actually made the claim Transylvania was autonomous.

[Vladislav Vlahu @lavraciu]

@undecommission @nemzeti_oldal That again isn't true. Almost all your facts were wrong so far.
Where are you taking your information from? It's seems you mostly have nationalistic claims with some amateur history knowledge.
I can give you some papers and suggest some books if you are really interested.

[Vladislav Vlahu @lavraciu]

@undecommission @nemzeti_oldal That doesn't answer the question

[Vladislav Vlahu @lavraciu]

@undecommission @nemzeti_oldal Maybe here is the problem. How do you define "hungarian" or "romanian"? There was no such thing as nationality, as I've explained, and you said ethnicity wasn't important (I agree, it wasn't very important). So, how are these words (romanian, hungarian) meaningful in any way?

[Vladislav Vlahu @lavraciu]

@undecommission @nemzeti_oldal No, he was born in "Muntenia" . His father gained land in Transylvania later, after Ioan was already born. Transylvania was, at that time, a self-administrative region ruled by a Voievod, direct vassal of the king of Hungary.
Yes, I know how vasality works, I am a historian.

[Vladislav Vlahu @lavraciu]

@undecommission @nemzeti_oldal No such thing as "nationality" in medieval period, I keep telling you that. It's a much later concept. Not such thing as an immigrant either, in this case.
Medieval states are based on webs of personal contracts and familial bounds.

[Vladislav Vlahu @lavraciu]

@undecommission @nemzeti_oldal Iancu was born in Wallachia to a father of romanian origin who became the vassal of Sigismud of Luxemburg and was grated, thou, much later, a hold in Transylvania.
He couldn't consider himself a Hungarian because that would be anachronistic
