It is. But still, if we think about the improvements we've had in terms of technology and compare them to the "political" changes in society (which are nil), you gotta sit down and think for a while. We're basically still stuck in 0AD.



I'm pretty sure you have a poor understanding of the "political" state of society of both the 14th and 21st centuries if you think the changes between the two are nil.


Do I?

I don't know, it doesn't look like things are much different. There's still lords and there's still servants.


I should have looked at your username before even bothering — but you're really dismissing how bad actual slavery is.
