[quote:Anonymous Coward 76273531:MV80NTIxOTkyXzgyNDAwMjQ1XzRCNkVBQUZF] [quote:Anonymous Coward 79383317:MV80NTIxOTkyXzgyMzk5OTc0Xzc2MEMzQjA5] Is a lie people had power. People have power as much they have money. The big huge majority has no more power than to buy around self-soustaining. How much a pandemic? People can't buy. What is left to have power besides money, the people also lack in quality majority. :catfilenails: [/quote] They didn't have power, they lived brutal lives too often, but, it wasn't entirely one sided an arrangement. Serfs and peasants (not the same, serfs didn't have right to leave a land owning lords territory, or own anything without permission) like slaves, had a certain expectation of tending to their welfare. Nobliesse Oblige thingy comes from this. Chivalry too, to a measure, as you won't keep a horse long if its not sufficiently cared for. Of course that changes with aristocracy and (burgher, town dweller, ghetto gated private rich part)citizenship, with which voting (sounds like should be awesome day of independence to celebrate really..). You cant expect them to help keep you warm and fed so readily and ordinarily. To be fair most of that was ministered by the church, but then seeing how people voluntarily taxed themselves for it, and the churches profiteering ventures known as monestaries or wars for that matter otherwise would have completely destabilised things, its all golden. But yes, when its possible to belong to two most populated lower classes serfs and peasants, one of which apparently women belonged to if you listen to feminist AND modern history revision, yea, people, most of us, would have feck all power and influence. We have, at least a semblance of a bit more presently. But as F Zappa put it, its an illusion. When its no longer profitable, useful, they'll roll it up. Because too many of us are conforming herd animals. Voting. Sports. TV. Schools. Conform. World wars. Previously they had to shang hi sailors with the kings shilling in ale, in the employ and service of East India Company. People are a right bunch of flockers. [/quote]
