It was used on Reddit, but not widely. Mostly by insufferable 'enlightened centrists' who didn't want to engage in good faith argument.

It's now a blanket term for "anyone left l politically left of me" used by insufferable liberals who don't want to admit that trying to curry votes from Republicans lost them the election.

For a time it was being used to describe actual Chinese and Soviet sympathisers, but given how quiet that particular group has been after the election, I suspect it was interchangable with state sponsored bot accounts.

All alphabetical antecedents are appropriate and appreciated.

You know, I could do without the letter we're referring to here. Plenty of other vowels to suit my needs.

You're describing a few decades out of almost a thousand years of feudalism, in Europe specifically, and it wasn't ever universally true.

A lot of things contributed to that. Not the least of which is the difference between what we'd consider a day off and what they'd consider a day off. Not to mention how they paid taxes and what was actually required of the medieval peasant.

Taxes could be paid in labor or produce. The guys doing the manual labor building a castle were likely to be paying taxes. They did that for up to a third of the year. The rest of the year was theirs to do with as they pleased, and the majority of that time would have been spent growing, gathering, hunting, or maintaining. Guild artisans had the closest thing to jobs that we'd think of them. Coopers made barrels, ropers roped. You had masons and blacksmiths and carpenters sure. Most people were growing and raising food, and maintaining their home. A day off was likely spent doing those things. They had so many partially because that time was needed intermittently.

They worked harder than we do. Every part of their life was harder, required more energy, and took more time.

Taking a day off to relax would have been exceedingly rare and probably maddeningly boring. Though they did party hard.

Just banks and federal employees.

You will of course be required to be in the office that day.
