    Most peasants were farmers, weren’t they? I thought that’s why they had the pitchforks.

    Okay, but I’m here to talk about anachronisms. Pitchfork and canned good? Sure, they exist together now, but for a lot of history, canned goods were just not a thing. So, hats, pies, and boots make sense, and maybe throw in some pottery instead, and bobs your uncle. I should probably take my meds.

          Its the opposite of a deadery. Hospital maternity wards and such.

          No, it’s when something is the color or texture of a liver. “Hey, this jacket is livery.”

    I assumed any old villager would deal with having to shift hay in their yard be it from livestock or horses. Plus they also had torches which made sense, I assume any long pole like weapon was sufficient.

    The time periods usually portrayed in those protester scenes are of a time when most people were farmers/ranchers and used hay for things needing the pitchfork

    Fun fact, Ninja Throwing Stars started out as boot Spurs.

        I was going to provide more evidence of my claim since your link provides no context on their origins at all, but it turns out the representation of Ninja as an oppressed lower class of peasants and farmers might just be a century old wives tale.

            I’m not sure, but they definitely had cattle so they probably used some kind of spur.

              Per wikipedia:

              In England, the rowel spur is shown upon the first seal of Henry III and on monuments of the 13th century, but it did not come into general use until the 14th century.

              Rowel spurs being the spinning wheel kind. Most spurs were more like bird talons on the back of your boot.

              I.e. shit for throwing.

                Alright but it wasn’t until 3 centuries later that Ninja were popularized, so…
