Privatizing the US national helium reserve. Gonna laugh when in a few years the government of another nation ends up owning it. Helium is dwindling finite resource that key technological infrastructure relies upon.

    feudal contracts literally don't exist michael-laugh they're a made up justification of the feudal system that was exposed as false in 1789 when the french peasants found no such things in the manors of their lords

    IMHO it's the main reason Europeans dominate this planet

    feudalism is not at all a unique phenomenon to europe. you say you get this from Crusader Kings, babe look at the rest of the crusader kings map. africans and middle eastern people did that too

        ah yeah its a contractual superior system to "despotism" that's distinct because it has contracts. "who do those contracts apply to?" "less than 1% of the population"

        and if you're so sure they're this defining characteristic of a whole economic system and epoch, present them to me

        i'm sure it's just a wild coincidence that syrians & latins in the crusades didn't think their forms of government were different, but i realize i'm talking to someone that's not read a single primary source for what they are oh-so-knowledgable about
