peasantry 

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.

Peasantry 

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.

High Peasantry 

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!''
Bourgeois bitch-type 1: ''Bitch!''

A peasant originally a term used to describe an agricultural laborer, usually those living in Medieval Europe under feudalism. Peasants were predominant in the European interior, in contrast to Roman & Semitic societies, where slaves were more common & generally held a better living standard than peasants.

The main difference between a Slave and Peasant is Freedom

A peasant is given Freedom to:
- Pay Taxes to the governing Elites
- Be responsible for his living expenses (pay rent, buy food)
- Die in wars when the Elites of his nation are involved in a conflict
- Respect the borders drawn by the agreement of the world governing Elites
- Be proud of his flag, language, religion, culture & superiority to other peasants
Bernard: We have to make sure we divide miscible peasants and corral immiscible peasants

Joe: Being a peasant sucks...I want to be an Elite

Bernard: Its not that easy Joe, we have to deal with the problems of Billions of peasants. Unlike a peasant our lives don't revolve around family & feelings.

Joe: GOD is my savior, hell with you!

Bernard: We taught you to believe in GOD, its the best way to subjugate a peasant...Don't worry a lot, catch the game today, I have money on it

Joe: Really, how much?!

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.
