From French "paysannerie", meaning "place of the country dwellers".

The class consisting of peasants and serfs (country people, mostly farm workers) in an agricultural society, in which peasants are the most common type of people (can be anywhere from fifty to ninety-five percent of the people).

Peasants are usually poor and live in villages and work farmland which practically belongs to them but is owned by lords.
Thanks to the incompetence of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, the peasantry were losing their land and suffered from inflated prices for bread.

The peasantry worked hard, but at least they knew their place and their allies. Appearances were minimal for farm workers, their operations were small scale; they had nothing to lose. The nobility had everything to lose.

Being so overwhelmingly peasant-like that it's treasonous to the bourgeois bitch-type. It is a crime punishable by incessant bitch shouting.
Bourgeois-bitch type 1: ''Bitch! What's that rag you're wearing? Are you like one of those peasants now?''
Bourgeois-bitch type 2: ''We find you guilty of High Peasantry. You are now sentenced to bitch shouting.''
Bourgeois-bitch type 1: ''Yaaaaasssss!!!''
Bourgeois-bitch type 2: ''Bitch!''

Doing things the peasants do like eating low vibrational plates that include dairy and dead animal bodies/carcASSes (including but not limited to chitlin and likes), being sick and poor, typing and/or speaking before you research facts, having childlike fragile emotions, not believing in yourself and looking for an external savior(Jesus complex), and not being able to critically think for yourself and always relying on someone else for the answers.
I saw Tim taking part in the peasantry... I knew he wasn't strong enough to be a God among peasants and NPCs, backdrop people.

Everytime I read the top comments on YouTube videos and Reddit posts, it's always full of the peasantry.
