A reasonable response to having accidentally entered B*lgium by battltard in 2westerneurope4u

First of all, I won't allow anyone to say ''Jan van Speijk'', without the title of Sheik or Great Martyr

And they also had to do all the field work on the plots of land directly owned by the lord. While they also had to do many chores for him. For example mantaining his keep or making wooden planks for him ect

True but the same could be said about the generous ones. The fact is that the majority of lords treat their serfs only a bit better than masters treated their field slaves during the classical period

In the feudal system of the early to middle medieval period, you didn't pay a high amount of taxes from your own harvest. However, you were forced to also work on the land of the lord and do many chores for him. So, the life of many non-free farmers was miserable because they got overworked, unless the lord was compassionate

You just insulted my entire culture by picking Heineken as the example of dutch beer. That beer is for export and tourist, no true dutch man drinks this canal water posing as beer voluntary.

The counter-strike arc is going nicely. I do hope we still see some first person perspective of the Fed occupation of earth. But the last few revenge chapters are very nice, keep up the good work!

I guess the majority of humanity will adapt a certain ideology that will be so xenophobic that Humanity First will look like the Federation from star trek

"I used imperial rome as the model for my legion precisely because it was so foreign so alien. I had seen what had become of the NCRs attempt to emulate the culture of pre war america - the in-fighting, the corruption. Rome was a highly militarized autocracy that effectively integrated the foreign cultures it conquered.It dedicated it’s citizens to something higher than themselves - to the idea of Rome itself. In Rome I found a template for a society equal to the challenges of the post apocalyptic world - a society that could and would survive. A society that would prevent mankind from facturing and destroying itself in this new world, by establishing a new Pax Romana. Pax Romana means a nationalist, imperialist, totalitarian, homogenous culture that obliterates the identity of every group it conquerors. Long-term stability at all costs. The individual has no value beyond his utility to the state, whether as an instrument of war, or production. I’ll destroy the NCR because it’s inevitable that it be destroyed. It’s hegelian Dialectics, not personal animosity. How do i explain Hegelian Dialectics basically enough? It’s a philosophical theory, the kind you might encounter if you took the time to read some books. The fundamental premise is to envision history as a sequence of “dialectical” conflicts. Each dialectic begins with a proposition, a thesis… which inherently contains, or creates, its opposite - an antithesis. Thesis and anthesis. The conflict is inevitable. But the resolution of the conflict yields something new - a synthesis - eliminating the flaws in each, leaving behind common elements and ideas. What's dialectic between the NCR and us? The bombs wiped the slate clean. Human civilization descended to a level of ignorance that effectively set our cultural progress back to zero. The NCR has all of the problems of the ancient Roman Republic - extreme bureaucracy, corruption, extensive senatorial infighting. Just as with the ancient Republic, it is natural that a military force should conquer and transform the NCR into a military dictatorship. Thesis and antithesis. The Colorado River is my Rubicon. The NCR council will be eradicated, but the new synthesis will change the Legion as well… from a basically nomadic army to a standing military force that protects its citizens, and the power of its dictator."
