"Serfdom in itself causes unhappiness. Or jealousy, if you want to call it that."
Interestingly, it seems to me that the current iteration of the oppression business can somehow always dismiss calls for justice as envy/jealousy, but never the previous ones.
- fulafel 8y agoI favour income distribution and the nordic model, and even calling it envy should not be a dismissal, but a recognition of a basic human emotion that should be socially engineered against.
- jahaja 8y agoI didn't assume you agreed with the envy part. I do however find it absurd that envy is used in this context - since the word would never even be thought about in the serfdom case. Words do carry meanings after all. In this case we have the mortal sin of the individual instead of the righteous condemnation of societal injustice.
