My description wasn't "wealthy hoard money, empire make money." And I didn't say anything about anyone else's work. Honestly, I don't know what ax you have to grind here, but I really don't care. I assume you think you're arguing against someone who's trying to say it's the "natural and best way" and all that, but you're not, I'm literally just saying that these kinds of structures have occurred for millennia and seem to recur alongside broader imperial structures.
I think you've missed that the assuming is kinda your whole problem here.
Go bother someone else.
My guy, you commented on my thread. You're the bother.
Yeah, responding to someone else! Fuck sake
My brother in Christ, check the context of the thread.
