    Greedy shitstains, as you called them, having been doing this kind of thing for all of recorded history. I’d bet any amount of money that they were doing it before we knew how to write it down too. Modern technology has very little to do with it.

      Yep. “Knights were the assholes of the middle ages” is what I tell the kids. Those shiny riders killed, tortured, raped and stole, and that’s how they and their bosses became “nobles”.

      They became and are assholes, it’s simple as that.
