Watching vinland saga made me curious about politics

Vinland saga is really one of the best anime that I've ever watched, since it's taken place around 1013 AD when things are relatively simple yet complicated.

Authorities and politics are starting to develop, while a lot of things are still done mostly instinctively for survival.

It's a really easy for me to see the reason why a certain group of people do things, while mostly it's based on survival not only for today but for their next generation.

I just feel that we as humans didn't really change that much since that era, we still do things that benefits our group, benefits our people, we want to enrich ourselves, so on so forth.

This made me go into a rabbit hole of youtube learning about ideology and history, and I have to say that I don't know how the author will solve this whole series while still holding on to the belief "I have no enemies".

While I personally really like and agree with that quote, after looking back at our history it just sounded too good to be true since we as a society have had tries a lot of ideology and there will always be war and there will always be violent along the way sooner or later.

So I'm really curious and can't wait about the conclusion that the author will draw at the end of this whole series, I'm kinda hoping that he can solve the whole "I have no enemies" and maybe brings a new ideology that maybe can be applied in real world, lol.

I'm thankful to this series, because not only it made me curious about how we became who we are today. It also made me realise about the importance of how decision from the authorities will affect all of us within their reach, it made me more aware about things that I wouldn't care previously.

I'm sorry for the long post, I just want to vent out my excitement that I just found about history of our society today.
