How come Italy used to be the center of the civilized world,

[Genital Doli]

remind me, what were the points

i said feudalism had its roots among the "barbarians" more or less as an off-handed comment that i expected to be taken at face value because it's true and then you went off on some weird tangent about how actually it comes from rome (i assume youre trying to relate it to the patron-client system of rome when actually this influenced italian dynamics but not european feudalism in the slightest).
