The local nobles were obviously corrupt and self-serving and could care less about the peasants. So the peasants marched to the castle to demand the King do something about his bad nobles.<br/><br/>They could see that the system was corrupt, but they still believed the King MUST be good and was just unaware.<br/><br/>Too many people today have the same blind faith in 51%. 2024-10-29T16:17:39Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsqrkqnqz9nl6aagc6kyvvytuf77kducgyn25tg99q670l94hc736gzypmke82saqeq8cd6nrd2cy6a7zg276z63zzg59extut7gk2k3erlvqce0vp In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs28y75fwcy40jwydy7s2f5y93dva7r0rn48u8xxs3rzfujxj98r3qyrda2f'>nevent1q…da2f</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yes, exactly. People act like 51% has some metaphysical significance. They really do believe in the Divine Right of Majorities, with the same blind faith a medieval peasant would have had in the King.<br/><br/>There is no action that is evil and immoral if 49% do it, and totally fine if 51% do it.<br/><br/>Structuring a state so it performs its vital functions (defense being the big one) and does as little harm as possible, is a practical problem.
