We also spoke a bit about history, touching on Rome, Egypt and the Norman conquest of England. I wonder if most people know that the British royal family is actually descended from the Normans who conquered England and expelled or exterminated the saxxon rulers.
I mentioned how, outside of religious wars involving genocide, the lower classes rarely see much if any difference after their respective nation is conquered. Once a nation is conquered, typically the ruling class is exterminated or otherwise exiled while the new management works to integrate the lower two classes as quickly as possible because they need the labour.
For the lower two classes, they were working their butts off for the old management and still working their butts off for the new management. The only thing that changes is the propaganda designed to make them think that their servitude has any real meaning or purpose.
Although, he didn't have anything to say about any of the historical conversation. Seems he had checked out shortly after calling me names.
