This TV series “Outlander” focus a lot on Battle of Culloden, and that whole conflict between the English and Scottish Highlanders. They claim that their battle scenes are authentic, and based on official historical sources. And here they present the English soldiers as the aggressors who were terrorizing the Scottish Highlander natives

Scottish Highlanders going up against the mighty English military remind me of other indigenous peoples trying to fight to preserve their way of life. The Scottish Highlanders with their pitchforks, without real military training fighting the sophisticated and organized English military with advanced weapons. Same as the native Americans, and the Japanese samurais. Similar happened in pagan Rus, and other places, where the pagan tribes were simple farmers, and weren’t used to going up against such as force. All those small indigenous populations did have their warriors, but they were used to fighting the neighboring tribes, and not such a large military. And I’m not pointing to English as the enemy. As I’ve said before, the British kingdoms went through all of this themselves. No this enemy is nameless and faceless, operating on a global scale. Seems it was first hiding behind Roman Empire name, then it transformed itself into England, and spread even more.

I feel that the old small, kin-based societies like tribes, clans, or even small pagan kingdoms were a much better option than the modern mass societies like modern countries with their government systems.

We are taught that this transformation from small tribal societies to large nations with governments was part of natural human evolution, but I don’t believe it was. I think things have been manipulated to move humanity in that direction.

We are told that the new way is a better one. Official sources claim that the old way of smaller tribes, clans, and small kingdoms was no good, for all of the tribes & clans were always fighting with one another.

Official history always talks about hero kings that unified warring tribes. As if these unifications of various tribes & small kingdoms in different locations on earth were all separate, independent events that had no connection to one another.

Can we be so sure this unification of indigenous tribes & smaller kingdoms throughout history wasn’t part of one single agenda? Looks like they’re not done with their unification, because they are still trying to mix people up even today.

How can we be sure that the official available historical information on what the world was like centuries ago, or even thousands of years ago is true & accurate, when it is extremely easy for them to tamper with the written word?

I for one do not trust their stories about the history of humanity, countries, nations, tribes, dynasties, migrations, or any official history for that matter.

I don’t know how many people the old world tribes & clans consisted of. I am assuming at least a few hundred people in each one and maybe a few thousand at the most. This is just my guess, but either way if you were a member of one of those old world tribes, you would only be surrounded by a small amount of fellow tribe members, compared to being in a modern country, surrounded by hundreds of millions of people who are your fellow citizens.

You would think that the massive modern countries with hundreds of millions of people living in them brings more people together, versus the old way of small kin-based societies. However, it appears to be quite the opposite. People who lived in small tribes may have been a smaller group, but they were all close like family. They all cared about one another, supported & defended each other. unlike citizens who live in modern large countries who are completely disconnected from one another, and could care less about each other.

During the time of small, indigenous kin-based societies, the small indigenous groups were connected to their local natural environments. The people separated into small tribes were attached to their land locally, and they took care of that land, and species of animals & plants living on that land, because the land was a part of them. The land and the people were one.

Another thing is contributing to society. When you contribute to your society as a member of a small tribe, you could see exactly where your contribution goes to. When you pay taxes in a massive country with a government, you’ll never see where your money goes to, and it is much easier for government to defraud it’s citizens.

In fact, the leaders/rulers of smaller kin-based societies, or small pagan kingdoms were driven by a much different mentality than the Christian monarchs ruling over a large size kingdom, or governments ruling over large countries who exploit the people, animals & the land

A tribal ruler, or ruler of small older pagan kingdoms were not separated from the people. They were not presented as superior to their people. They actually cared about their people’s well-being. They fought & bled for their people.

You can find much information by reading the official etymology of word “king”, but when I read the word “king” I see the word “kin” in it, and the meaning of that word is one's family and relations. So the way I see it, the word king means father of kin/family, or elder of kin/family.

The word “kin” means “a group of persons descended from a common ancestor, and so connected by blood relationship; family, stock, clan; in OE. also, people, nation, tribe; = kind (n, OED, 2nd ed., s.v. “kin,” 1a).
