    If you don’t like being a peasant on Lord Dickwrinkle the III’s lands then why don’t you go be a peasant on Lord Flappybuttcheeks the II’s lands? very-intelligent

    The lords take care of the peasants. They give them land to farm, a place to live. And you’d take that away from them? Seems like it’s you who’s the monster.

      I was too clever by a half with the magna Carta part and feel the need to explain. Magna Carta worship came from George Washington and friends, in the middle ages it just gave more voice to local feudal lords and other aristocratic dudes over the king and either didn’t affect the peasantry at all or was a net negative cause you had local business tyrants doing the squeeze instead of a far away guy who had a whole country to deal with.

          Oh, entirely. Add that to their weird Rome obsession, which was based on a mideval or as they’d call it ‘dark age’ description of Rome, cause those were the last guys in history to suck off Rome and they got most stuff wrong. Imagine a dude who acts like a redditor before Wikipedia was a thing. That’s the founding fathers, just the most annoying guys.

    Oh, you want an end to feudalism??? What are you trying to do? Come after my private property???

    (Private property includes: “toothbrush” (yucky old piece of linen), the land that everyone you know lives on, and your wife.)
