Oh, they didn't change that, people living there need to get real good at dodging golf balls.

The dragon fan-fiction is for dessert.

Yes.

But billionaires fighting back is just issuing an order for someone professional to do so in their behalf, themselves risking basically nothing.

Middle and lower classes need to do to work, do their chores, fight stress, organise, research, maybe take a loan to pay for legal costs, etc.

Someone might say the system is rigged.

Yes, I am mostly agreeing with you, I just don't know how much of it can be translated 1:1 to that environment.

People gave gifts to cherished figures all the time (like saints and the Church).

It seems she lied to the king & nothing bad happened (she later even got a knight hubby with a castle). And one of the brothers got an island.

They were dogging so much they pushed it under the sea.
(And on three separate occasions.)

Yes, Framework!

It's great, works perfectly, and you support something (principals, ways) worth supporting!
Something what won't lead to/support further enshitification of all the things.
(And we might even get usable RISC–V laptops fairly soon - to even further ditch megacorps.)

Why tf are countries with a suffering middle and lower classes targeting them especially?

To squeeze one more monthly subscription out of them?
To just make then skip the culture they can't afford?

Yes, I think this is the case too, especially with this gen.

A low level floppy dick, that's me!

FOR THE GLORY OF THE EMPIRE, quite right!!

'Sin' is a very relative term to time (in years/decades) and religion (time & locality in prob municipalities), so maybe it wasn't.

(It also depends how they were doing it - on one hand they could have done much the same with a statue of her, even if she wasn't a saint yet or in fact the opposite.)

Maybe her wearing man clothes was a bigger "sin" as perceived at the time.

Religion (and "sin") is stil just people, so politics, not even religious texts, but literally intra-people politics.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it wasn't shady, I'm just pointing out the possibility of it not registering on any sin level scale.
(Also both of them fought under her command.)
