Life in Middle Ages

 

Ladies and gentlemen let's take things back let's imagine you were just an average person living in the Middle Ages you're living in the era right after the client of the great empire such as the Romans towns used to be constantly attacked and looted by neighboring armies and money was very scarce and food was also in short supply and your diet consisted basically of bread if you were lucky and beans and you had to slave all day working for the royalty in order just to even afford a diet like that diseases and plagues were plenty and the world population was rapidly declining that was a time where you didn't live life you merely survived it you were in constant fear of attacks inquisition and famine and ladies and gentlemen that is why this was known as the dark ages as a peasant which is what 99% of people were at the time you'd view the dark ages as a terrible time to be alive but for a very small part of the population the reality was completely different for the ones in the royalty none of that applied to them they had endless food peasants working for them and entire population living in fear meaning it was the perfect time for them to expand their power even further and perpetuate the cycle for generations to come and how would they do that. Well here's where you need to pay attention because they had a very structured plan in order to accomplish this first they got to make sure that they mitigate the chance or the risk of anyone overthrowing them and taking their position of power now how so well first they would make sure that their peasants are perpetually dependent on the work that they provide them because without this work you cannot afford to live and eat so they provided you with work that gives you just enough to survive but not enough to ever break free of their trap then they made you and the other peasants believe they're working on yourself and shameful and that you should settle with having nothing and be happy with it settle with nothing and be happy with it.
