You forgot one small thing - 99% of the population were literally slaves during these wonderful times.
.... something seems off
Well, if you think that peasantry was cool...
There is a reason many have suggested we are headed toward (or already in) a neo-frudalism
I say if we have to live as peasants anyway, let's bring back tar and feathering
Edit: hell, we even still have lord and tenant as titles
Contemporary employer-employee arrangements are not even close to the feudal peasantry.
Damn, guess i'll just take your word for it.
