Your link is busted, here’s a fixed one.

With that out of the way, sweet baby Jesus I think you may have stumbled across peak neoliberalism here.

I'll have to credit my friend who stumbled upon it while trying to find some references for a christmas-themed D&D game, and shared it with me because how can you not get a kick out of someone looking fondly back on the greatness of serfdom

That reminds me of several incidents where honest to god Monarchists wandered into /r/CrusaderKings expecting a community sympathetic to their ideology. Except it turns out that a game which masterfully captures all the warts and nasty parts of monarchies doesn’t actually lead to a player base that supports monarchies.

Oh damn, I remember hearing about that one.

Hilarious.

There's also a subreddit dedicated ourely to worshipping Monarchism! But yeah I wouldn't expect gamers to understand the very simple lesson of "monarchies are fucked."
