00:14:20.080Yeah, Constantinople was still in the possession of the Byzantines.
00:14:23.280But other than that, it was quite hollowed out.
00:14:28.360And, of course, a point of shame for the Latins.
00:14:33.520Especially the Venetians was the sack of Constantinople during the Fourth Crusade, if I'm not mistaken.
00:14:42.760I do think it was the Fourth Crusade where the Western Crusaders sacked Constantinople.
00:14:52.040Highly inglorious, but such things happens.
00:14:56.580But now we are a few years, at least, later than the tragic day of the fall of Constantinople.
00:15:08.580And we can defend Valachia, at least, and relive the legend of Vlad Dracula.
00:15:17.020So anyway, continuing on my discussion on masculinity and culture, etc.
00:15:23.340It's something quite refreshing if you look upon Polish culture.
00:15:28.720Now, of course, I'm not saying that all Polish guys are interested in masculine endeavors.
00:15:36.380And are completely shielded from unmanly behaviors, etc.
00:15:43.740And I'm not saying that all Westerners are feminized.
00:15:47.260But I do know, at least in Sweden, there are a lot of men who view heroism, honor, the pursuit of martial prowess, the pursuit of strength.
00:22:28.540And I'm not saying that we haven't had economic problems in the West, but I'm just generalizing very heavily here.
00:22:38.480But I thought that could be a good way to describe it.
00:22:42.960But, again, there are a lot of similarities.
00:22:46.760And, you know, if we're talking about such a thing as porn addiction, I'm sure it's equally bad in Great Britain or in Sweden or in Poland.
00:22:55.720So, you have a lot of similar things, too.
00:22:57.460But in terms of culture, I would say there is a difference that comes to the fore in certain ways.
00:23:07.000So, simply what we can learn is that it is not a good idea to have a culture, a society which do not value masculine values, basically.
00:24:00.720Unfortunately, this was where my lord and I were settling.
00:24:07.760The Turks entered the castle courtyard of Poyanari with murder on their mines and ransacked the fortress that we had fought so hard to defend.
00:24:19.400Taking refuge in a secret tunnel, I watched Drachula's boat flow down the sky.
00:24:27.340The stone bastions of Poyanari never caught flame, so I was spared.
00:24:34.180As if God was with us, an avalanche struck the departing Turkish army and blocked the route to the castle.
00:24:42.880Although this evidence of divine retribution stirred our host, I figured it was caused by the enemy error.
00:24:52.040I was not eased by the change in the mood of our host.
00:24:58.000The calls of wolves and the bats filled the air as we feasted.
00:25:03.100It seemed that the old man was lost in ruminations of times long gone by.
