Why The Salem Witch Trials Were Nothing Like You Think - Hilarious Helmet History 

Aren't hats just pussified versions of helmets? :P

arent helmets just hats for people who need head protection?

Hat's are boneless helmets

can I get uhhhhhh 🅱️oneless helmet

that's no helmet, that's cultural appropriation

Fire up the torches, time for the greatest witch hunt ever

Bethany Brose exactly!

It wasn't really though. I mean, sure, it was overblown and paranoid, but communists were actually at least real and there were Russian agents who were trying to subvert the US (which obviously also happened the other way too).

Bethany Brose read witness by Whittaker Chambers and the Venona papers.

the crucible is based on the Scarlett letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne which written in the 19th century...so no. thanks for trying though.

Christie Lynn one day my parents will love me

He did explain that

Actually the trials and executions took place in present day Salem, Salem Village (modern day Danvers) was where most of the accused lived as it was all farms

👏

It was pretty much the entire north shore. There’s very few towns in the area that don’t have some kind of connection to the witch trials.

noxabellus kinda a square/rectangle situation really.

annajane8890 I mean... Yeah. He threw in all that cringy stuff about a man sexually abusing his servant and cheating on his wife and tried to make him some kind of tragic hero. Like maybe if you hadn't have cheated on your wife with the housekeeper then she wouldn't be going to jail??

*GASP* Rawrist! Yay! Didn't know you watched cracked!

Hey, Rawrist, I can tie this all back to GoT... Do you know why witches fly on brooms? Because brooms look like shooting stars and meteors, which were thought of as demons or witches, given that they caused destruction. A big falling star was once even thought of as a fallen angel named Light Bringer (or Lucifer if you speak Latin). It brought about the long winter in medieval times, referred to today as The Little Ice Age, which was followed by war over resources, famine and disease. Sound familiar? We even saw the meteor in season one of GoT. It's based on this Freemason version of actual history, including the really ancient history!

Hey, Rawist! Didn't expect you here. You have a good taste in videos, though.

Issa execution. If he didn't plea, he would die.

Eric Badgley They also accused him of witchcraft because he had no heirs and the state wanted his property, and they could take it if he was dead.

Alex Meyer I just hate it when my neighbor accuses me of being a witch and my government uses it as an excuse to murder me and steal my shit.

Alex Meyer no, he had heirs. That's why he refused to enter a plea. Because, no matter if he pled guilty or pled innocent (and was later found guilty) his property would be confiscated, but if he refused to enter a plea, he would just be dead and his estate would pass on to his children/wife

You have read the book and he has not. Good on you!

Also signed as a witch?

It kind of reminds me of the Magnificent Seven theme tune.

funzjag Yes, cat. It was.

so all of time is sad because humans have turned on each other forever.

mavfan1 all of space and time is indifferent

time and space are incapable of indifference.

funzjag it's not sad when human beings turn each other on, though, right?

I think he simply meant the particular witches and what they were being accused of simply wasn't real. What they were being accused of was binding their soul to Satan, sending their spirits out to torment people and committing supernatural deeds. I know a friend who is a Wiccan and that is wholly dissimilar. I hope that makes sense.

emptyvoices31 I agree

The difference is that a Wiccan restrains themselves from practicing black magicks intended to cause harm to others, whereas a regular witch does not, esp not if Santeria or Voodoo.

rex mundi Wiccan practices magic but that doesn't mean she's a witch.

If you look it up Wicca is just a nicer way of saying witch, this was done on purpose to protect practitioners from narrow minded people who persecute witches.

kaas saus Yes, because in the bible Jesus totally says "Thou shalt hang every possessed person always". Seriously Mr Kaas, stop trying to use religion as a scapegoat to excuse the rest of humanity from their stupidity. Honestly, it's just the British, they hung everyone for everything back in the day.

the key word here is "tend"

Lost Guns I practiced in the wiccan religion for years, I am Not a pagan! Do some research before categorizing people. What you said is equivalent to saying that Baptists are black.

Daisy Lais Pagan: A religion not widely practiced, especially if polytheistic. By definition, Wicca is, in fact, a pagan religion. I myself practice the wiccan religion, and witchcraft and I have no problem calling myself a pagan. Besides, why are you so angry about this? There are plenty of other pagan religions that are perfectly fine.

Thank you, witches are real

Daisy: was in the pagan community for over thirteen years, and everybody I knew regarded Wicca as a subcategory of Pagan. Your views are kind of unusual.

Daisy Lais Wiccan's are pagans. If you this that they aren't then you're probably confused about the definition of pagan or doing Wicca wrong.

Grimmy Mischief he probably meant: the stereotypical witch (with the flying on broomsticks, pact-making with Satan etc.) doesn't exist. Also magic doesn't exist.

While all wiccans are witches not all witches are wiccans.

You believe in christians?

That's a logical fallacy. You can't take an anecdote and apply it to all other situations.

hotshot nice try, but I think you misunderstand the fallacy. If they said war (p) gives rise to witch trials (q), and i said since there was no war (p), there cannot be a witchtrial (q), then you would be correct. But what I am arguing is about cause and effect. the video is claiming that witch trials follow wars. what I am arguing is that witch trials is just one possible outcome, given that we can examine literally hundreds if not thousands of conflicts and discover that witch trials do not follow. We can also find examples of witch trials that occur at any time without reference to a prior conflict. What I am arguing is that there does not seem to be a hard rule p to q. rather p may lead to q, or not. I would point out that perhaps you need a certain cultural mindset (superstitious fundamentalists) for the with trial to be a more likely outcome. but really, to argue that witch trials will *always* follow war is difficult to prove.

hotshot anecdote? ok you lost me now. the point I am making is that the reason many towns in Massachusetts resorted to witch trials (specifically) was due to their fundamentalist religion. It took inversion by Boston authorities to end these trials. The people of Boston considered themselves members of the Enlightenment, and were quite embarrassed by these witch trials which they considered to be throwbacks to the middle ages. Given that wars do produce stress in populations, it would be surprising if nothing occurred. Political purges are common, such as what occurred in Germany after WWI. I would be more interested in learning in what way these people were stressed, and why would witch trials occur, given modern attitudes of the time. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witch-hunt

Yes, there were. And there were also wars and revolutions were democracy and republics didn't come about. The thing the video is suggesting is that the witch trials were a manifestation of the fear, insecurities and trauma created by a post-war/currently at war society.

True wicca died out in the dark ages. Modern "wiccans" are just poorly imitating a religion almost nothing is truly known about, whose practitioners lived in an entirely different era in entirely different conditions. It's kind of insulting to the earlier practitioners to claim that your beliefs and rituals are the same, because they really aren't. We don't have the necessary historical context or understanding to revive it.

Obviously Fred and George Lanchester the British automobile pioneers ;-)

Witchcraft is not a religion but a craft and a practice. Paganism and Wicca is a religion though. Paganism is like a big umbrella with many sub-categories and Wicca can sometimes be involved as well. I myself am not a Pagan nor a Wiccan but a witch so I can not speak for them completely. I practice witchcraft but do not follow a religion. I thank you for letting others aware that it is real though. Not many people seem to believe. :)

NeatScribbles fus roh dah hagraven

NeatScribbles that by definition it in makes you Pagan.... Damn milennials

Yeah but in this context of people having magical powers by consorting with the devil. That’s not real

last dog standing Sounds about right.

Are you talking about the fringe 1% of leftists that could be categorized as SJW's and can't change absolute shit in society because everyone knows they're insane, or are you talking about all the reactionary "sKePtiCs" that continuously milk money out of this over-used, irrelevant and inconspicuous "SJW" label to entertain mindless masses that can't even be fucking bothered to look beyond the thousands of "fEmiNiSt fAiLs #9999" and keep throwing shit at an essentially non-existent scapegoat *_just like the fucking witch trials?_* Get a grip, "SJW" is just a complex marketing campaign used to milk money. SJW's literally have no fucking power.

Sean Kraus Yeah, you should go watch those other channels. You know, and stay away from politicaly bias. It could be catching.

In my case I just don't want to hear political nonsense anymore, too much angry politics nowadays, bad for the soul or whatever.

Kinda? I mean, the Catholic church can''t really blamed, because they were educated enough to know that witches aren't real, so they didn't actively hunt witches, but the uneducated people believed in witches.

when the catholic church accused someone of witchcraft they were pretty much just looking for an apology. they would only torture and execute people that didn't confess, so if you ever travel in time and find yourself in a catholic witch trial just confess your heart out. the best example of this is probably the spanish inquisition, because that all just ended in thousands of bullshit, and in many cases contradictory, confessions of crazy orgy-parties with satan. and then a few years later spain was like "come on guys this is just dumb", and then outlawed witch trials, and i'm not sure, but i think they were one of the first to do that. the catholics mostly used witchcraft accusations as a way to kill of people that disagreed with them and didn't really believe in witches. the protestants though, that was a crazy bunch of bloodthirsty witch hunters. i really don't think you can even talk about the german witch trials without mentioning martin luther, because he was pretty much the main psycho behind it all, at least for a while. the protestants genuinely believed in witches and they weren't all nice with the confessions either. if you travel in time and end up there you're kinda just dead a soon as you've pissed of a priest. not saying the catholics are innocent though, because i think they kinda started it. and they did execute a fair amount of people too. but considering the circumstance (and its kinda hard to be a really nice accuser in a witch trial) the spanish inquisition was pretty alright. not what you'd expect! nobody expects the spanish inquisition

Lord Cheese25 So you're against free speech...

free speech ya ninny unsub if ur offended

I feel you, dude. While Trump doesn't really try to make it hard to make fun of him (probably because he doesn't care about being called names), purposefully singling out one person to incessantly mock in literally every video gets old very quick. Ingenuity is a fantastic thing.
