Feudalism was a social system in medieval Europe where the king granted land to nobles in exchange for loyalty and military service. This led to a decentralized military power structure, with knights and vassals responsible for protecting their own lands. While it allowed for regional defense, it created challenges in coordinating large-scale military campaigns and maintaining overall unity.
Under a feudal system a loss of 20k soldiers in a war would be considered a devastating defeat. Ukraine has killed 150k Russian soldiers to date. A decentralized system of military as a consequence of feudalism is a better system than the centralized one we have today.
Ah, yes, the joys of renting and leasing! Who needs stable, secure housing when you can bounce around from one overpriced, cramped apartment to another, never knowing when you'll be forced to move again because the landlord wants to renovate or sell?
Sure, food and water are basic needs that everyone should own, but when it comes to housing, why bother with ownership? Just sign on the dotted line, pay exorbitant rent or lease fees, and hope that your landlord doesn't decide to raise the rent next month or kick you out for no reason.
After all, who needs the stability, security, and financial benefits of homeownership when you can spend your entire life funneling your hard-earned money into someone else's pockets? Who needs the freedom to make long-term plans and investments when you can live in a constant state of uncertainty and precarity?
And let's not forget the joys of dealing with landlords and property managers! Who needs privacy and control over their living space when you can have your landlord showing up unannounced or refusing to make necessary repairs? Who needs a sense of autonomy and agency when you can be at the mercy of someone else's whims and demands?
So go ahead, embrace the joys of renting and leasing! After all, who needs the stability, security, and dignity of owning your own home when you can live in a perpetual state of dependence and insecurity?

To treat nations as persons when doing ethics is a mistake.
Some thought experiments:
Donald Trump ought not be able to own nuclear weapons, therefore nations ought not be able to own nuclear weapons.
The government is allowed to print money, so I should be allowed to print money.
If Bob were to use violence or force to achieve their goals, it would be considered immoral. Therefore, if a nation were to use violence or force to achieve its goals, it would also be considered immoral.
If Sally were to engage in secret surveillance of others without their consent, it would be considered a violation of their privacy and unethical. Therefore, if a nation were to engage in secret surveillance of other nations without their consent, it would also be considered a violation of their privacy and unethical.
Ahhh! I've fallen into a rabbot hole now. The ancients are deeper than any Joe Rogan or Jordan Peterson.

One can increase the freedom promoting principles in my model by making the agriculturalists the army. This way they have all the basic needs covered plus weapons.
It was pointed out to me by my son however that when the army is off to war the country is at its most vulnerable. Many owners of the agricultural land and weapons will be away. This could be an optimal time for government to make its move.
