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.

That’s despotism and not feudalism.
you are genuinely one of the stupidest people we’ve had on here
This chain is like when people used to come from /r/all and get absolutely dog walked
I could care
Despotism is not a useful political term at all and feudalism is a very specific form of a much broader economic system that was used in the middle ages. You have nonides what you’re talking about.
According to my knowledge it is just as useful a term as feudalism, describing a specific system.
Buddy, you are a communist , a flatearther from economics, an etherium proponent from economics, a homeopathic doctor from economics.
And what you wrote is illiterate bullshit. Listen for once what people who are not from your sect say on things.
hello it’s me a flatearther from economics
omg it’s an honor 🤩🤩
Despotism refers to a person in power making unilateral decisions, it is no means of describing any system of government.
Define communism, I’ll let you once again look it up.
Yeah, that too, so?
Why is that?
Why would I? That wouldn’t change that I’m right. You seem to think that I have to prove something or dispute something with you to be right. I don’t.
Also a hint - anybody can come up with any kind of definition. If I look it up, then what? Somebody you consider authoritative has approved a definition? Well, it’s one model you like, I may not, so why would I bother?
You don’t even know how definitions are made
Enjoy Chinese technological supremacy you downwardly mobile cracker shitrag
It’s because I’m trying to bait funny posts from you. It’s working. I’ve literally met mollusks smarter than you
stunned and shocked you whipped out that mudcrabs more fearsome than you line. incredible posting
I meant it. I’ve being watching put for some local snails I’ve taken a shine to. They’re cool as hell
Why would you write that if I just said I don’t care (EDIT: about an opinion of someone I wouldn’t take for any qualified job)?
You don’t have to bait anything, just ask
I really don’t have to bait anything. How do you feel about trans people?
Nothing in particular. I’d be confused to meet and like one perceived as a woman, though. Not in a bigoted way, but in a same way as meeting black people having grown in a country where that’s rare.
All that homeopathy must be why communists have already taken your factories and in exchange you willingly hollowed out your own country
Lmao no arguments just vibes
That’s poo poo and not pee pee
i’d love to hear your cunning mind explain what despotism and feudalism are, and what the difference is
Despotism is an absolute monarchy where technically there’s only one free man, the monarch, and all the subjects, including nobles or whatever, are his property. There’s no contracts or something to this. The monarch’s power is delegated as they wish to the state apparatus of whatever kind they choose. That’d be Russia since Peter or, say, Safavid Persia, and frankly a few German states in the new age despite sporting feudal symbolic.
Feudalism is a system of vassal-suzerain and allied relationships, contractual and not even that centralized, as a feudal entity can even be vassal to multiple other entities (games like CK get this wrong, which makes, say, Denmark there less fun than it was) and have its own various contractual ties. With feudalism every person’s status is complex, there are individual privileges and obligations to every entity.
Feudalism is much more sophisticated than a despotic monarchy. IMHO it’s the main reason Europeans dominate this planet.
EDIT: By the way, Decembrists paid a lot of attention to that difference, if we get back to Russian history.
feudal contracts literally don’t exist
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
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
I said its model is wrong.
Nope. Not that particular thing.
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
Peasants are not a party to those contracts. You’ve just invented a definition and said that what I meant doesn’t fit under it.
Well, it’s your definition, you can fuck around with it however you like, just don’t get too excited over something existing only in your head.
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
