Given the fact, that in the modern world social classes no longer hold any relevancy, which social position you would've held, were you to live 300 years ago?
Would you be a nobleman, a part of intelligentsia, a child of traders, a peasant, an impoverished version of any of the above or something else?
I suppose, given heritage, in the Russian Empire I would've been an impoverished intelligentsia or kulak.
I expect ronin chinks and military burgers here.
I would've had a small udel with pomest'e and 50-70 of krepostnye, living in a falling apart infrastructure, struggling to pay the taxes.
Could've fucked krepostnye maids and be called 'gospodin' though.
>Given the fact, that in the modern world social classes no longer hold any relevancy
Class is still everything, but it's not determined by birth but by IQ, though this has always been the case for the very brightest - today you have a trend of people with as little as borderline MENSA IQs getting into the middle class, while in Czarist Russia, you probably needed a solid 150 to become a clerk or a cadet.
gotta go back further.
300 years ago I'd be a fronteirsman, answerable to no man or nation state
Kek. Moldavians call hard working men gospodar. The women gospodina.
Considering that my parents amd grandparents were industrial workers and that 300 years ago Moldavia didn't have shit, I would've probably been a razes, a free farmer or at most a bit richer one.
And if you went further back in time?
In Russia 'gospodin' = how you would refer to a small road, who has some peasants.
Gospodin X = sir X = monsieur X = etc.
lord*
I would be a cossak like my great-great grandfather and all men before him. There was really not that much to do there.
I'd have been a farmer like all of my family before my generation. I've only made it out of that shit because the education system is what it is. Finn from a frontier farm in Eastern Finland wouldn't get into Åbo Akademi 300 years back.
>Given the fact, that in the modern world social classes no longer hold any relevancy
But that is a fucking lie. Class is still everything. Except now it's not titles but money and income that divide people.
Depends. If I go down my mothers line - magnate, if fathers either peasant or an artisan.
Siebenbürgen not """""Transylvania"""""
I have poor living, even though my mom was lecturing in the university, so did my father, grandpa was a politician in Moscow, etc.
My family has low to average income and I live way worse than I could've lived in the USSR/Tsarist Russia.
gospodin is just mister, you moron
I would be a soldier and die a death on the battlefield glorious enough to be considered honorable in predator culture.
Nobel man
Or scribe
>just mister
>just
You = BTFO
peasant
Take a guess.
Father was a doctor for the military, so would have been above pleb class.
Would have died at age 6 of appendicitis.
if we go back far enough then you all be livin in forests while blacks was (nubians) kings in egypt
>My family has low to average income and I live way worse than I could've lived in the USSR/Tsarist Russia.
... I'm not sure how you managed to contradict yourself so well.
Farmer
>in the modern world social classes no longer hold any relevancy
what ? no way
anyway 300 years ago i probably wouldve been parisian blue collar worker like i am and like my father was and his fathers father and so on
Fucking this.
If I lived in the early 1800s I would get on a boat ASAP and move to America.
