Last minute repentance. That's where they fucking end up anyway. And down there they beg and beg. And have no breathe of life. So they choke. Not a SINGLE human can handle that.

And you get the added benefit of the people feeling safe believing that there IS justice on earth.

I would disagree with the fact that your average peasant back then did not really believe or support the witch trials. Witch hunts were more of a political tool. Curses were always illegal, but not a death sentence.

The era of people got executed over suspicion of withcraft and the way Matthew hopkins method to find the witch by drown them is rather....just like what cancel culture is that is rather scary since internet can ruin your career and life over random accusation or just because your past mistakes even small jokes.

this is Awesome :)

Scary how the way you describe England then, sounds very much like now 🥴

This is the best piece I have come across on Hopkins: nearly all the other uploads are just about a misogynist in a world of misogynists going around looking for women to kill: none of them even mentioned the 'execution' of Reverend John Lowes that led to Hopkins' downfall.

forgot something with the drown or float thing, in the netherlands we had these things where they placed a piece of wood on one spot, and on the other one the woman, wich was a saver way to identify witches, also, monty python did the same thing but with a duck

The witchfinder general??

Almost every story being told about witch hunters on youtube always makes them look like the bad guys and the witches the innocent saints. When you control the narrative you can make evil look good and good look evil.

There cannot ever exist any such person or personage by way of what these people only believed. What this means of course is that thousands upon thousands of people were terrorized, were imprisoned in horrible conditions, were unspeakably tortured in the cruelest and most barbarous of ways, were murdered in any one of the most depraved and agonizing of ways - and every single one of them, was entirely guilt-free of what they were pursued, - condemned, - and murdered for. I fear that by God's very emissaries I am far more likely to be condemned - than saved. I can only wonder. 😐

I know you can't blame this on Christianity. Hopkins was hired by towns, not by churches. He was canny enough to know that if you want people to buy what you're doing, assume the mantle of the most popular religion in the area. Hopkins was serving Hopkins.

I really do hope this comment is ironic. Witches don’t exist and the witch trials were a prime example of when you mindlessly believe the accusers with no regard of the accused. There’s a reason that the term “Witch trials” is still used to describe instances in which someone is accused of a crime and law enforcement actively forces them to confess regardless of whether or not it’s true.
