  • Do you know what a noble or am estate is?

    Hint - it has nothing to do with native Americans. Since mobility never existed in the United States, it is pretty clear that the context for this single pane comic is British.

    I’m any case, British nobility is still well alive, and wealthy landowners have inherited vast deaths of the country after their ancestors had used force to take the land when it was under feudalism.

    Now, if you believe that feudal land distribution is a good foundation for modern economic and land development, that’s one thing. It does leave much of the British Isles in their pre-modern state of land usage.

    On the other hand, much of the population is forced to live in dinky squalid poorly heated, uninsulated brick and stone housing blocks that would never pass a modern building code. So from that point of view, it seems like failed policy designed to pander to the land rich, cash poor former noble families who really shouldn’t have any influence on the modern state as they have literally nothing to offer it.
