The majority of people would likely be are feudal peasants, working under a warmonger family that owns the sustaining land by force. No upward mobility except through bloodshed.

No you don’t understand, this 9-to-5 job that’s slowly but surely wearing me down is just a stepping stone to my millions of $$. That’s why I keep voting for tax breaks for the rich; because I’ve just been temporarily down on my luck for 30 years. /s

No, if you’re lucky, clever enough, overwork yourself, or manipulate others you can live a somewhat comfortable life. Those methods don’t require taking a life.

Comfortable as in “you have a heated living space, food on the table, and security.” Don’t be dense.
