PrePub Chit Chat - P5V12 (Part 3) 

A retainers job is more than just making their lord happy, its also about making sure they perform their own duties as we found out in the Kirnberger SS. And Ferdinand gives the best instructions for making that part of the job possible.

I'm sorry, but neither Georges Washington nor John Adams were " farmers " in the first place, though. Washington was the owner of a large plantation, not your run-of-the-mill 1700s farmer and Adams father was a businessman and Adams went to Harvard, the guy never hold a hoe in his life. " Your founding fathers " weren't from the lower class of the society, but rich bourgeois. That's the truth of the revolutions of the XVIIIth century, they were led by the upper class of the economic society, people of great wealth, often way, way wealthier than your average noble. The fairy tales about the lower class taking arms to take their righteous place with their own hands is but a romantic propaganda which looks good in the national novel but is far from the historic truth, which largely explain why the so-called modern " democracies " absolutely aren't democracies but oligarchies. Liking Washington or Adams education or wealth to that of " the average farmer " is just fallacious and has nothing to do with reality. Both were way more well off than the lower and middle english aristocracy of their time, for instance. What you're doing is the same as saying that Gustav is your average Ehrenfest's commoner, that's so preposterous it's not even funny.

​@@gerardmanvussa501 it is in John Adams biography that he was a landowner, that his wife and he tended the land, and that he was a lawyer in addition to this. Jefferson was the one who was high class. John Adams senior, the father of John adams, was a farmer also. So your assertion about John Adams is not exactly accurate. As for you marxist, I hope you lose. The ideas of these so-called elitists led to the greatest wealth ever assembled in the history of the world. It made American poverty the equivalent of African riches. It made the American middle class the equivalent of the upper class in most other societies on Earth. What your philosophy has created, what the government that you champion has created, is over 150 million dead people in china, russia, cuba, and every other hell hole were a dictator is necessary to enforce the kind of Communism you champion. The American experiment in 1600's, starting at Plymouth with the pilgrims was also under a charter to have communism. The Mayflower compact, if you read it, was communism in its infancy. Every man had a share of the common storehouse, and whatever was in the storehouse and whatever was available by way of land was given equally. The leaders of that colony found out within one winter, where half the people died, that style of government did not work very well. They turned to capitalism out of necessity for survival. These are historic facts that you cannot spin. History is very complicated, I do concede that Vladimir Lenin had good intentions. However, Karl Marx did not have very good ideas. He failed to tell how communist society or socialist society ought to be governed, so military and dictatorship Force has always been necessary to implement that which the people do not want. These are also historic facts that you cannot deny. I can keep going if you want, I've got an entire encyclopedia if historic data backing me up. I will concede that I should not have said that the common Farmer Rose up 2 lead the American revolution. It is however a fact, that the agrarian society as a whole was threatened by taxation, that the people were unhappy with the State of affairs between them and the crown, and that their leaders backed up popular opinion. There's no way that these so-called elites could have manipulated the people, if they were not grievances enough for them to rise up. It was the same as Lenin and Stalin did against the Tszar. However even in that revolution, you must know that the Bolsheviks started the revolution, then Lenin and Stalin hijacked it after.

True!!!

Oooh excellent point! And oh my goodness I see Hartmut creating an entire ministry or government office just to do that!!! 😆

Thanks for the rec!

Glad you were amused 😆! Thanks for being part of the discussion!

Aw, devastated to see you go. But lets be honest, here: My channel is so small a couple of chats on spoilers wont hurt anyone, and the fandom is so loyal and devoted that everyone who is able to has already purchased at least a copy of Bookworm for themselves even though yes you can find pirated content out there. Also a J-novel rep signed off these chit chats, and they have no problem with them at all. Finally, I think we can all agree that as fun and spoilery as they might be, these fan discussions will never replace reading the actual content! Anyways, hope you have a wonderful day and may you find it in your heart one day to check out my content once again, even if you still choose not to resubscribe. I have lots of plans for the channel once the LN is done! 💙💖

@@TheChatteringMagpi I do agree with most of your points... but In my opinion going for a "Pre-pub" session a few hours after the chapter released in the subscription-locked official site is kind of edgy.... But yeah, I do enjoy the chat and discussions and will come back after the chapter 8 on the last volume is released. Also, don't take it the wrong way, it's not like you're transcribing the official release and publishing it in some blog with ADs... I expect to come back for the final chapter review (after I read the whole novel) and i'll may buy a shirt.
