well the European manors didn't have the enslaved people literally directly in front of the house. I could tell you horror stories about relatives that worked as servants in those damned houses but they didn't actually have slaves in the house
Peasants had it a hundred times better than chattel slaves, though you do have a point. I remember a commentor the other day talking about some Chinese people speaking of the "revitalization of China" as though everyone was an aristocrat under the Ming Dynasty rather than most being a peasant or near equivalent.

Chinese people think 95% of their great great grandpas weren't peasants?
I don't know what they think, just what that person said
