The professional soldier being a rather recent invention of the modern nation-state, this doesn't surprise me.

But the Burgh? Mercenaries and conscripts on those walls. Coin or compulsion.
I have no interest in going round & round with you

I'm not here to argue, been there, done that, I've said my peace on it, you're welcome to your views
Fair enough.
not to be rude, mind you

I've just lost my taste for argument : fool's errand

No worries.

I just thought I'd spare a moment in defense of the bourgeois since they were getting a short-shrift from the local warriors. :D

no offence intended, I just don't fit into the bourgeois class

but it's not like I go out to bother them, I keep to myself

no need to argue, I hold to my beliefs, there's no debate

E'rybody hates the poor, beleaguered bourgeois - the communists, the landed gentry, the soldiers.

Do remember them fondly, though, for soon they will be gone from this world. All that will be left is Dissociative Identity Disorder Influencers.

oh I don't hate the common man, and I know the Communists are out to destroy the bourgeoisie

I just choose not to argue with people anymore

it doesn't go anywhere good, it just brings the Devil in me out to fight

I make a choice to walk another path

it's like these civilians will want to make me bear my fangs

they want to make everything into an argument

but they don't know the Devil in me, it's a howling wind

so I don't go out to argue, I just keep to myself and my wife mostly

I don't hate the common man, I hate those who go through life without an iota of common sense or education to rub between their ears... where people believe lies without looking for the truth...

when the calming hand of the Lord comes upon my shoulder, I don't hate anybody at all

feels good actually, so I just go with it

I wasn't talking about you, specifically.

Just musing on how in feudal times the landed aristocracy viewed merchants as beneath contempt. Then the communists showed up and blamed the merchants for all of their woes - with the bloodbaths and theft in their wake.

Warriors and merchants have always had an uneasy sort of alliance of mutually assured destruction - what with warriors needing money and merchants needing arms. They probably never did enjoy socializing much, though.

Today, even the bourgeois hate the bourgeois, and do everything in their power to prove they are something else.

I live in Mass...when the population is sheeple, there is no other word than hate that I can use to express my feelings on the level of stupidity and ignorance that the general population in this state.
