>when in reality it meant "someone who pays taxes".
This is literally what I wanted to say but the point was is that they belong to a "ruler" because they work on their domain but besides that they have to pay taxes and not be openly hostile against the ruler they were left alone.

>I heard a discussion on this on local radio
The last time I seen it portrayed properly was in the Fate GO movie where it was about how they were allowed o live on the arable land of Ozymandias and not the other places and nothing more serious. But ofc metaphysical "independence" is something else because once you agree that you are a "slave" with that you acknowledge that the "ruler" is the TRUE GOD of the land and with that you might rob your way towards magic but that is metaphysical politics that the jews suck a million balls at. The smarter they think they are the more retarded they become.

>not exactly the kind of slavedom we've been made to interpret it as via movies.
Am glad you understand the point I tried to make by default.
