I feel like it's an industrialization thing. Before industrialization people would farm their own land, set up their own shops etc. Sure there would be people above you, but they wouldn't and couldn't micromanage you.
The peasant surely didn't have morning standups with their lord.
- surgical_fire 2y ago> farm their own land Peasants didn't have "their own land". All land belonged to the aristocracy, and you would farm the their land.
