When Big Politics Bleeds the People Dry – Then and Now


It sounds like a tale from a long-forgotten time – and yet it could just as well have happened yesterday.


In the year 1179, in the middle of summer, high politics came to a small village: emperors, princes, clergymen – all gathered in the name of the “greater good.” And as was customary back then, this meant for the people: work, deliver, obey.

The high lords did what high lords always do: talk a lot, show off a lot, and above all… indulge a lot. The common folk, on the other hand, had to abandon their work, sacrifice their supplies, and dedicate their time to the “reason of state” – whether they wanted to or not.

Today? Only the costumes have changed.

Instead of chainmail and velvet, the powerful now arrive in tailored suits or business attire; instead of masses and hunts, we have summits and security zones. But the principle is the same: the organization and the costs are shouldered by the little guy, while others reap the glory. The economic consequences – then as now – are felt most by those who are asked the least.

Exactly how such a “political mega-event” affected a village back then is told by Volker Thurm in his video “GOVERNMENT Almost Destroyed the Entire Economy at the Reichstag in Kayna.”

And anyone who thinks we’ve moved on in the 21st century should definitely hear this story – it could hardly be more relevant.
