There is a lot of shallow talking in what you said because things are not black/white. And yes I can change the company I work for also reducing workdays amount

There is a lot of shallow talking in what you said because things are not black/white. And yes I can change the company I work for also reducing workdays amount but that will directly make my life unsustainable and I dont have an option to buy 50 morgs of field to start a farm (this costs around few million dollars where I live) and thats the area lords were giving to their peasents..
So yea your argument is:
- “just go and die if you dont like working 3 times as much as your ancestors”
Which makes you look pretty stupid if you ask me.
- watwut 7y agoResorting to insults when you dont have arguments is kind of weak technique. The problem with underperforming agriculture and lack of nutrition was persistent in that system. You seem to assume that peasants under serfdom had easy low work access to food and everything. That is not the case. The land does not produce food for whole year without you working it a lot. Peasants in serfdom had hard time to produce enough food for themselves. Peasant did not tended to few million dollars worth of land. Lords were not giving land to peasants. Rather, peasants were sold along with land and belonged to the land. That is massive difference - serfdom was one step above slavery.
- pojzon 6y agoYou still completely missed the point again, which convinces me this discussion has no sense. We were not discussing the live conditions back then and now but how much you had to work for your land lord vs for yourself. Disparity is huge... and its just stupid to deny that...
