Regarding Old World Religious Wars …
Diane and All,
One of the people I follow on Mastodon posts a running montage of images from European history, photos of artworks, engravings, vignettes, etc. from museums and other collections.
I don’t know if the link will work, but here’s a typical pic off the top —
❝21 May 1535: William Tyndale Bible translator tricked into leaving the English merchant house at Antwerp on this day. Seized in an adjoining alley, incarcerated at Vilvorde where he was executed in Oct 1536.❞

The striking thing is almost every third picture illustrates a gory event from the Old World Religious Wars. Posthumous executions were a popular style of retribution — some dude or dudess gets disinterred and burned or hanged or drawn and quartered in their coffin for some offense against the current religious regime they are charged with committing during the last one.
Slavery is the original form of capitalism and it always, everywhere reverts to type.

My Comment —
It marked the incursion of the Defense Industry Model (DIM) into public education policy and it was the first salvo fired by the Destroyers Of Public Education (DOPEs).
