It's much more nuanced than you're led to believe

yeah there was less checks and balances in the 10th century id say

because that was the beginning of when kings grew powerful

Sure, but you got to eat, and you were defended from danger

before then, there wasn't even inheritance for monarchs - it wasn't assured, unless it was some big dynasty like carolingians

also slavery existed in huge numbers

and there were ay-rabs at dem borders

Yes, but not hereditary like in the US

what do you mean by that

Slavery in America? Blacks were slaves by default

Children of slaves were also slaves

no inheritance

?

Of what?

oh nvm

yeah slavery was hereditary i think in some contexts

Some?

Most

in the 10th century anyway - this was the dark ages, this was before all that feudalistic fairness stuff got started really

The dark ages is a myth

well it's a rough debate if you go before 11th century

Being a peasant and being a slave are different things

i know

anyway, gotta go to work

@Fitzydog serfs were one of the most liberated people in history

they had their huts

and their religion

and their lords

no serf was ever banned from facebook or twitter

Depends how you define liberty and freedom

serously, i feel less free now then i did 20 years ago

with all the tech advancement that follow your every action

and record it till the end of civilization

Because we are less free.

But the leftists define freedom as 'free from want'

@desert hamster that is more anonymity than freedom.

yes, but i could drink and drive like a lunatic

and only get a slap on the wrist
