Because the aristocracy is still in place. The house of lords should burn.
They should never have banned dueling for the lords. If anything they should have kept dueling not only legal, but the only way they can retain their honor after any slight.
Also we need their duels to be public events sponsored by firearms companies and first aid kits for ballistic trauma!
it was never legal on paper, but it was tradition to judges to let free the winner (murderer) of the duel if the duel followed proper etique
It should have been. I know it was never legal. Even in the 1380s they called it an ancient and outdated custom. But as far as I am concerned with most of the real innovation and thinking done with the masses (unlike the past when the only learned people were the wealthy) we can let those idiots shoot and stab one another as much as they want. As long as it is done by them on them.
I would have FORCED Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg to go on the fight that Elon Musk challenged him on, and it must be done until serious injury or death.
If they decline. They lose everything. And I mean EVERYTHING.
