Well, you really can't till the wheat fields of the Baron or plant and harvest cotton for Massa 24/7. That shit has growing seasons and it actually takes time to grow and be ready for harvesting. Also, while subsistence-level farming has some appeal to minimalists such as myself there is the...

You do realize you are basically arguing that a form of slavery once practiced in Poland is superior to those once practiced in other countries, right... Bruh, just admit it, it was a stupid institution that never should have existed!

Later, like in Russia, they became de-facto slaves attached to land parcels, then gradually got some more rights back until the practice was banned. As to the Cossacks, I distinctly recall some joining forces with the Turks and living in the north-east of Bulgaria after the Tzar got annoyed...

Um, and the Serfs went with the land, usually, aka that one has a nice piece of ass, time to buy some land, for the geography, of course. IIRC Cossackry began with serfs BTFOing from both Russia and Poland to parts of modern-day Ukraine to be 100% free. Also, I am pretty sure that the serfdom as...

Um, Confucian civilization existed for thousands of years, and not just in China, but all over the region. The fact that it was impossible for one single power to consolidate an European heartland like China did to its core, then turn inward and stagnate, is what probably got the West into a...

Civilization have their ups and downs. Some historians see China's falling behind as a temporary fluke and the exception, rather than the norm. They and other confucian societies, like HK, Singapore, Vietnam, Taiwan, and South Korea, certainly have caught up to the west rather quickly, and for...

Migration is just one symptom of liberalism-induced self-hate and multi-culty nonsense. Letting various minorities getting away with not integrating and throwing money and them and at the criminal underclass to just continue as they do, and have more children so as to get more gibs, is also a...

Ability to stop it.. They are encouraging it, because their corpos want cheap labor and a growing consumer base, and the governments want more voters, and the welfare bureaucracies want more leeches so as to expand themselves and make their existence look less worthless. Also, even poorer...

yeah, and the "temporary" measures and agencies just become more bloated and more powerful.

None of those existed in the 18th century. And still, losing one of your 3 most crucial ports and being locked up via another level of impediments in the form of Crimea would have been bad, and they would have had to lose all the naval facilities there. And not necessarily, if the rate of...

Dude, he hates Russia more than he cares for his own country, he'd probably organize a mass forced abortion sacrifice if the Dark Gods would help him reach his goal. Trying to converse with him on the subject is utterly pointless, that is why I soft-blocked him.

Ukraine wanted to join the west because their bureaucrats and oligarchs want to suck at the Euro and dollar subsidies teat and because they managed to convince a big chunk of their population that the EU will make them all rich, conveniently forgetting to mention stuff like the loss of...
