The New-Old Misconceptions

folks, we tried to stay out of the game but they keep pulling us back in. we don't want to do episodes where we solely focus on misconceptions about the Middle Ages but the new crop of Christian Nationalists and reactionaries make it unavoidable. there's little they love more than coming up with bullshit narratives about the Middle Ages and, specifically, Medieval Europe. so we take a look at 6 of the these new misconceptions, which are actually just ones that have been around forever but are being reheated. we talk about China's level of technological advancement, whether the Crusades were bad, retvrn, and much more! enjoy!
