    • Every anti-feudalist is either envious of the lords or a spoiled noble child who's never worked a day in his life.
    • "Democracy" is a naive idea, why should people who can't even read have a say in how the Kingdom is run? Should carpenters have a "vote" in how bakers bake their bread too?
    • Egalité sounds good on paper but it can't exist, it's against Nature, some people are just more blessed by the Lord's grace, that's how it's always been.
    • And how exactly would a "private business" build a bridge across this river? Where would the architect get a royal charter if there's no King?
    • Your steam engine is only possible because of feudalism!
    • Actually, if you consult the records you will find that the present time is actually the best time in history to be alive, ever

    • human nature is against the interest rate, my lady. Cast your eyes to the history, every time we tried compounding interest rates, we've had to do jubilee or get pitchforked.

    • so we have to use the same toothbrushes as peasants, made in the same guild? by god, have you no shame, they smell.

    • so whatcha saying, comrade axe-in-the-woods johnson, we'll have to work for the lord only half of the time instead of 90 percent of the time? Seems unrealistic, plus our lord is very fair, i've heard he even traveled to jerusalem, and he doesn't whip us more than once a year.

    • and who will judge me, other than god? the market? I'm a lord, not a wool merchant.

    • And who is it that will decide the right to rule? Be it us, he who were born to work the fields, such as God has willed it? What a fool's idea! It is called the Devine Right to Rule, we shalt not question the Lord's grand design, to do so is to take the path Satan walks! Those hedonistic, half naked, layabouts who rule through Democracy, worship gods apart from the one true God, are shameful heretics.
    • So if there is no Vessel who owns the land, then what? Is it we who own the land? What a silly notion. There are so many of us, how would that even be enforced? Are you then to tell me that to enforce the rule of law we would also have to establish our own lords, with whom we provide the swords, and shields and horses? What laws would these Lords of the People even enforce? The King is a decedent of God and his rules are God's rules! I've never talked to no God, have you? How insane a system to describe.
    • Write me a law right now, a law that makes this all make sense. What if I was a man who wanted to own many lands, and wanted to collect taxes on that land, but those people within that land ALSO wanted to own portions of that land?? What would that law even look like?? This theoretical nonsense about free markets and self-governance all sounds great on paper, but you can't even give me one example of a law under that system that makes any sense.
    • You're just describing Feudalism with more steps. What do you mean, the King will always want his throne? You can't just abolish the monarchy, there are parts of the Feudal system that are totally fine, and I don't understand why we should throw every part of it away. King Ulrik III is a great ruler, and I'm sure his son would be as well.
