you're just some weirdo who got some weird romantic idea of serfdom and wants to make up dumb shit about it

a typical lord would have a handful of permanent soldiers at best

the reality is that in serfdom these people lived in rags, they were so malnutritioned that they usually only grew to about 5 foot to 5 and a half foot tall

literally that was their height

imagine eating so little nutrition that you grew to only 5 and a half foot tall

well, then again, maybe i'm talking to a manlet

the population of medieval europe was actually quite low

and there were vast areas totally unpopulated

and what happened is that it broke down and was replaced by agricultural enclosure and people packed the cities and a supernova of advancement and innovation and trade and rising living standards occurred

THAT IS BECAUSE THEY WERE STUCK IN A MALTHUSIAN TRAP

OMG

people generally were pretty cool with each other

THE REASON THE POPULATION STAYED LOW IS BECAUSE THEY WERE STARVING ALL THE TIME

it was a bro relationship between lord and serfs

"people generally were pretty cool with each other"

homicide rates in holland and belgium

african warzone shit

not only were these malnutrition midgets starving, but they were constantly murdering one another

germany and switzerland

What you looking at cutie. Wanna lick my feet? They're so stinky. How quaint.

is that 100 per 100k

what scale is that

and this was particularly rural, the towns were relatively peaceful

for example records of villages in oxford, which back then was tiny communal villages, have homicide rates like syria today

homicide rates in the modern day are incredibly low

so that kinda just reinforces the idea that it was pretty peaceful

100 homicide rate is low?

Hey my main account was banned here

per 100k?

yes

Hmm what did I do again

that's like ridiculously low

most of those deaths are probably just from war as well

Hmm I don’t think I did anything here

or execution

it's homicide you moron

it's 4 times higher than columbia
