The cost of living in america is waaaaay higher than in europe
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, it's literally cheaper to buy shit in USA and have it shipped across the ocean to the EUSSR, including shipping fees.

True in the balkans or eastern europe. Objectively false in western or northern europe.
Europeans are poorer in general. I dont care how americans live in cardboard houses, commute 2 hours to work either way, eat "food" with substances banned everywhere else on the planet, pay the highest medical insurance, have no holiday pay, no maternity leave, 35% white country, $7.25 minimum wage, tap water that sets on fire, opioid epidemic, school shootings, Europeans and Japanese are poorer because..............ummm they just are OK

Seriously take that same exact post I wrote and add me actually naming the israelite and tell me again about letfist conspiracy nonsense
Schizo
no
it began with jacobins and the french revolution
the historical revisionism of the dark ages and the oppressive church and corrupt nobles that made life a living hell was their work, in order to legitimize their horrifying terror regime and the purges
said revisionism was so strong, even the most thoroughly debunked myths such as "let them eat cake" still persist to this day
Pesants didnt work much during winter. They just had to feed their animals which isn't hard when your personal cattle is a couple of cows and a herd of sheep.
Backbreaking work was only during harvest but also during special times like storms or droughts, either draining the fields or watering them. But always within human limits because these fields were pretty small.
Farmers did non-farm work the rest of the time. Like construction, chopping wood, nothing special.
Those who work almost nothing at all would be hunter gatherers like you see in the amazon. These people just hunt and harvest natural fruits.
Kek medieval peasants had to be completely self sufficient. They made almost everything from scratch. Yes they'd only work on their landowners crops 6 hours a day but they had to spend the rest of their time doing other things. They would have had much less free time than the modern worker.

Jannies ban you for on topic threads don't blame me
The frick are you talking about? I know real people who used to work on farms with no electricity and no indoor plumbing and they definitely did a lot of back breaking labor. My great grandmother regularly had to carry 50kg bags of feed from a pickup truck because her father ruined his back
~~*they*~~ want to destroy traditionalism
here's one of them. go ahead and post proof of a single aspect of your story. I'll wait.
The burden of proof is on you, moron. You are making the claim that they had it easy, you even made an entire thread about it, you fricking moron
I see the JIDF has you working early. night shift or early morning starts?
>doesn't believe claim from living person about their relatives
>does believe claims about people who've been dead for hundreds of years
Putting animal feed in 50 kilo packs is just sadism. Why not as 5 10 kilo packs?
How many suck packages are we talking about?
Only one? That's not backbreaking. Next time just tell that diesel powered pick up truck to park closer to the stable
People post here from all around the world mate. Within anon's grandparents lifetime that is very plausible.
Its not plausible at all.
To an ignoramus it wouldn't be, no.
The story has contradictions and doesn't have any details.
>my grandmother is old and worked hard 100 years ago
Doesn't even have anything to do with the topic of medieval farmers
There are no contradictions. You're just a sheltered moron with little knowledge of what life was like for people around the world in that time frame.
Attacking me is not an argument. It should not matter who i am, that dumb story makes no sense
>Doesn't even have anything to do with the topic of medieval farmers
You are assuming that farmers who had even less technological help than they do now had a much easier time. You are a nutjob and stupid as frick
>less technological help th
Except for pick up trucks? Don't think i will let that slide just because you are playing dumb
You have terrible reading comprehension, probably because you are so fricking stupid
The seed seller owned the pickup truck
She owned a tractor
Medieval people had to till the soil by hand or by using animals
Medieval people had it harder
>The seed seller owned the pickup truck
Doesnt seem very medieval to me. No medieval farmer had animal feed delivered to his door.
Trucks cost a fortune and such costs would be passed along. Any real medieval farmer would grow his own feed.
Your story makes no economic or historical sense.
Also, ever heard of wheelbarrows?
>Also, ever heard of wheelbarrows?
You need to get this idea out of your head that wheelbarrows make life easy. Say goodbye to your knees
>No medieval farmer had animal feed delivered to his door
No shit. Are you finally getting it? People had to grow the food themselves, or they had to transfer it by horse.
>Trucks cost a fortune and such costs would be passed along
Just stop pretending like you know shit. Trucks do not and did not "cost a fortune" and the farms were all close together so he drove between the farms that were buying from him. Are you also so fricking stupid that you think the milk delivery man only showed up at wealthy people's houses?
>Any real medieval farmer would grow his own feed
Sounds a hell of a lot harder than having delivered to you, doesn't it?
Fricking dumbass lmao
>No shit. Are you finally getting it? People had to grow the food themselves, or they had to transfer it by horse.
Grass grows on its own and getting shipments is by definition not working hard, you are paying others to work
>Grass grows on its own
>20 tons of grass you can just pick outside whenever
You never even saw a herd let alone feed it.
>20 tons of grass you can just pick outside whenever
I thought it was just delivered by a truck? Try better to keep your lies consistent
>everyone is the same person
Even if it was me then your post would have been fricking moronic
The fact is that everyone here except you knows you are dumb ass shit
>Grass grows on its own and getting shipments is by definition not working hard
Medieval people didn't get shipments and you don't feed your cows grass in the winter. You turn it into hay for storage
Are you trolling or are you really just this stupid? I'm at work so can you just tell me now so i can stop wasting my time?
>Medieval people didn't get shipments an
Then why even talk about some truck?
You said shipments are not hard work
Medieval people didn't have these shipments
Therefore they didn't have shipments to prevent them from doing hard work
I should get paid for this. I'm schooling a person with actual special needs
You don’t get paid because it technically counts as charity.
>Medieval people didn't have these shipments
So why bring up these shipments? You said your granny lived in medieval conditions when clearly she didnt
Here, dumbfrick
You are desperately trying to grasp unto details that you deliberately misconstrue so you don't have to admit that you lost the argument
Don't make threads if you can't handle being schooled
>carry 50kg bags of feed
Why do people make such bags in the first place? Why not just make it half the volume. Surely walking twice is much better than intensely straining your back.
ask sneed
Good question, pretty sure regulation states that they can't be over 20kg or so now exactly for the reason that you would assume
Mentally ill moron
>Why do people make such bags in the first place?
making smaller bags cost more money
and men can carry 50kg bags on their back easily but tend to carry smaller bags on their arms/shoulder which cause hernia in the long run
>making smaller bags cost more money
You are making shit up. Nothing in your story makes sense.
So your grandma was living in the middle ages yet she had feed and seed delivered to her personal farm on a pick up truck and no one thought of splitting that bale in smaller parts and that made it her job so hard?
I am not that anon. I buy ~4 tons of animal feed for every month and carry them myself because I can't afford hiring people to do it yet.
Smaller bags would cost the manufacturer much more money and once empty wouldn't have any other use around the farm.
>buy ~4 tons of animal feed for every month and carry them myself because I can't afford hiring people to do it yet.
That has nothing to do with medieval farmers or even some chinese farmer from 1900
>So your grandma was living in the middle ages
Not literally the middle ages, you fricking moron. My country was just incredibly poor
It wasn't bales, it was bags of feed or seed (can't remember which one)
>country was just incredibly poor
Yet she had a pick up truck. Really ruins your story.
And the saddest part of the story was just the weight of a sack. Like it could not be split or rolled. Everything was built for strong men and your grandma was 4'11
>Like it could not be split or rolled
You don't roll sacks you fricking moron and you don't open sacks before they are being used due to spoilage
Why are you pretending like you know shit about farming when you think sacks just roll like wheels?
>farming when you think sacks just roll like wheels?
Whos even talking about sacks?
I thought this was the middle ages. Now you tell me your granny had fresh animal food delivered by truck to her personal farm.
Not dry hay or grain, but specifically fresh food in durapack plastic sealed packages.
And the tragedy was they could not make them smaller because it costs money.
Jfc, dude. You got btfo so hard that you are just going frantic and making up stuff to desperately avoid having to same the fact that you are being schooled and being made to look like a moron in your own thread
It was iceland in the 1940s, you fricking moron
>It was iceland in the 1940s
So not in conditions remotely close to the middle ages
No, much much easier in fact
Then why even share your gay story? It has nothing to do with the topic of medieval farmers. Nobody cares if your grandma was too poor to afford wheelbarrows
You are obviously a sheltered moron who idolizes the middle ages and now you are triggered by hearing the actual realities behind farm life
>hearing the actual realities behind farm life
Im only reading about the realities of not having a wheelbarrow. Exactly how many 50 kilo packages/bales/sacks did your granny have to move in a day?
You focus on irrelevant nonsense thinking that you sound clever. I guess it's preferable to admitting that i know better than you
>You focus on irrelevant nonsense
Oh so having trucks in your fake medieval society with no technology is an irrelevant detail?
Here is my post
Are you really so moronic and autistic that you don't understand hyperbole?
I have already btfo you here
Just keep reading that post over and over until you realize how much i owned you
>Are you really so moronic and autistic that you don't understand hyperbole?
>haha i was just joking
Has this ever worked for you? Just lie and embellish a story because you think it makes it better but then people just call you out?
Being too literal is a sign of autism.
I told you about the truck, i told you how old she was, i told you about the lack of electricity and running water
If you can't figure out the nature of her situation from these details then you are hopelessly moronic
You are incredibly desperate and it's honestly very pathetic
Please... just stop coping. You know nothing at all about anything and your grandma is a prostitute. Sorry, not sorry.
>being this mad
You finally realized i destroyed you, right?
Fricking lol
you literally have to appeal to a woman doing manual labor to argue against life in the middle ages.
The Amish fricking love what they do. Come to America and work with an Amish labor crew. They are funny, they are friendly, they do what they do with 1640s technology, and they are a picture of what a joyful life looks like.
Their lives are easy, while not comfortable, they do not struggle or experience psychological pain like the average mutt.
This.
And virtually all of the ones who reject that lifestyle are inherently inferior minds who end up living a life of alcohol, drugs, and crime.
>And virtually all of the ones who reject that lifestyle are inherently inferior minds who end up living a life of alcohol, drugs, and crime.
Most amish leave that life because they don't have enough land for all their kids
>ignores the skyrocketing alcoholism and STD rates amongst the Amish communities
Based? I guess?
see
Do the Amish sell grain crops or just grow for themselves?
>If you can't figure out the nature of her situation from these details then you are hopelessly moronic
Your granny poverty doesn't say anything about how hard she worked or not. Next time just describe her typical working day and skip the fluff about her lack of whatever.
Flock of 50 sheep need at least 100kg of hay every day, and at is just sheep.
Single cow needs 15-20kg of hay per day AND 50 liters of water.
I hate zoomers so fricking much.
So moving 3 or 4 bales of hay a day is... Backbreaking work? Because your grandma didn't have wheelbarrows and Big Hay did not invent the 15 kilo bale?
Wheelbarrows will frick your knees and your lower back up. I have actually touched one in real life unlike you lol If you even used one for a single day you would thank God that you get to work 8 hours as a greeter in Wal-Mart
You have used walmart wheel barrows designed by Walmart for squatamalans. If you used one made for a six foot person you wouldn't be hunching over to move it thus hurting your back.
Simply putting a larger diameter wheel on will lift the wheelbarrow to an acceptable height for comfortable use. Are we done making excuses?
If the terrain is rough enough wheelbarrows can become harder to use than simply carrying. And of course all feed needs to be stored above waist height so you'll be picking it up anyway, even if you move it with a wheelbarrow
It's called grazing, anon. Not sure if you've heard of it.
That hay is in ADDITION to grazing you Black person.
your family was moronic. 100lbs is easy to carry, maybe not for a woman, but for a man, its peanuts. doing it for hours is low impact and low intensity, its not hard work.
Ahem
You already got btfo
Now simmer down, moron
Its fairly obvious to me that you have never worked a manual labour job, or if you have then you’re a paki and took breaks every 5 minutes
>Its fairly obvious to me that you have never worked a manual labour job, or
This is not an argument.
It doesn’t have to be an argument. I’m content with knowing you’re a paki, I don’t need to convince you
>your grandma was living in the middle ages yet she had feed and seed delivered to her personal farm on a pick up truck
I'm glad my countrymen are ignorant to the heinous reality of life in developing countries but it really does fit the stereotype of us as ignorant boobs.
Yes vast portions of the world essentially lived in medieval society and experienced technological modernization in your parents or grandparents lifetime. My grandfather lived in a village where almost everybody was illiterate with no running water or electricity, where they still 100% seriously worried about vampires.
I don't believe you, in a modern farm everything is done with machines (like that pick up truck) and in a medieval farm everything would be small enough for a human to deal with. Small plots, small herds and so on.
>everything would be small enough for a human to deal with.
Ooinions of zoomies who cannot keep a hamster and potted cactus alive are always entertaining.
What is that? A crossbow? I don't give a frick! I could easily maintain a small plot of farmland if I wanted to. Frick you.
>I don't give a frick! I could easily maintain a small plot of farmland if I wanted to. Frick you.
I dont have to be a farmer to know farners have never worked hard, in any historical era. Theres just no point to it. A farm isn't like a mine where more work means more production.
The nature of farming means you will spend almost all your time waiting for crops to grow.
>I dont have to be a farmer to know farners have never worked hard, in any historical era
Yes
Speaked like a true moron. You never worked in your life.
Your personal attacks are not an argument. I can have personal opinions on anything i want and they are valid as long as they are backed by good arguments.
>speaked
frail non-Whites wont understand how easy manual labor is for robust Nords
American leftoids have gone so far off the rails this post could be legitimate and not just a bad troll. What a time

Just a normal dose of leftism.
>I could easily maintain a small plot of farmland if I wanted to
Sodbusting is not fun.
why isn't the plough edge a wedge to make it easier to pull?
I'm talking about my great grandmother who is 91 now. My country was basically in the middle ages back then
Yet she magically had a pick up truck
>magically
Are you moronic? She had no electricity, no indoor plumbing, she had to use an outhouse and she even had it better than the people who lived in turf houses back then
People back in the middle ages had to do all the same shit as she did without having pickup trucks or massive feed producers
>Are you moronic? She had no electricity, no indoor plumbin
Yet she had a pick up truck.
You are a teenager, right? No adult is this much of a historically ignorant moron
Are you also surprised to hear that the people in the capital did have electricity and and indoor plumbing but many if not most farms did not? Are you surprised to hear that oil lamps and cars existed and were both used in the same time period?
You are dumb as frick and you shouldn't be arguing with people like me who are much smarter than you
>Are you surprised to hear that oil lamps and cars existed and were both used in the same time period?
Poor people didnt have trucks in fricking 1900 rural china or whatever hellhole your granny spawned from.
This post just made my night. Needed a good laugh before bed.
The automobile predated the electrical grid in the overwhelming majority of the United States, moron, let alone whatever Eastern European nation that other anon came from.
This anon is right, the repetition of agriculture is unnatural
We can see the repetition strain injuries appear in skeletons of early Egypt and Sumaria when farming starts
Hey moron, tell your shit for brains grandma that the wheelbarrow was invented like 2000 years ago. They're good for carrying heavy stuff
You obviously have never pushed around wheelbarrows all day
MALARKY!
I have worked on a farm. Animals are extremely low maintenance compared to managing a bunch of....NOT animals known as black PEOPLE!.
You feed them, inspect them weekly, clean their living space, and all this takes less than 3 hours, per day, its also very relaxing being around and looking after living creatures.
he watched the newest historia civilis video and ate up his bolshevik lies
this is because modern agriculture is insane industrial bullshit
the facts are entirely true of medieval and contemporary subsistence agriculture, which is a very different type of farming
dumbass hicks “muh backbreaking labor” stfu and kys instead of destroying the soil and the planet
A modern farm is nothing like a medieval farm. Working a big modern farm without technology would be back breaking but medieval peasants worked small plots of land in big teams.
OP thinks he was just born in the wrong time period and that he would have it easy back then. Stupid frick
>Peasants enjoyed considerable freedom and had 51% of days off. They would only work 4-6 hours a day.
that doesn't mean the 4-6 hours of work wasn't back-breaking

At least we have mass transportation and private transportation and all the issues with that, and airplanes, and cruise ships, and fancy alcoholic drinks, and fancy coffee milkshakes, water and electric and gas and sewerage and waste treatment, and modern medicine, and ubiquitous access to a global repository of all knowledge ever learned, and GLOBAL FOOD AND SPICE TRADE - probably the most unappreciated development of our times.
You can experience practically every natural and manmade food on the planet, and basically every spice ever found or developed, foods reserved for kings and aristocrats that most ancestors never got to experience ever and it's all relatively cheap and abundant.
Who the frick truly cares about any of that except for the people making lots of money off of it.
> I’m a big city gay. I love dating asian women, spending 60% of my

It’s awesome….yes my girlfriend whom i’ll never marry or have kids with does peg me, why do you ask?
Why would you let your girlfriend peg you? Are you gay?
Still better than being a poorgay in the industrial revolution
>They would only work 4-6 hours a day.
Modern Farmers with all the equipment and technology work longer than that.
And you cant just "take a break" from taking care of animals.
Why do you lie? You gain nothing
oh so tell me how often do you work on farms and how much work do you tend to do?
It absolutely depends on the type of farm. Harvest season is the most labor intensive in fruit and vegetable farms. Theres almost no labor in modern grain farms except flooded rice farms where theres a lot of labor planting and managing the water levels. But
All the time, working on a non-mechanized farm is heavenly.
Mechanized farmers or mega ranches are sometimes comfy if you're not saddled with fixing tractors and hay balers all day.
One of the big catches of pre industrial era was workers weren’t incentivized to work much harder. If you stored it you were just at increased risk of being robbed or it spoiling if you didn’t eat it all in one year and you probably couldn’t grow enough extra to make more than a few extra bucks trading it even if you did have a nice day so you had no real incentive to be extra industrious.
Your biggest risk was famine, and even if you saved up money after working hard and bought gold, the gold wouldn’t buy you food in a famine where people were eating their kids
The only way you we’re inclined to produce more than your family needed was to pay for use of your lords flour mill if he had one and to rent land from him to farm for protection
If you're sowing or harvesting you aren't going to take a break and enjoy the sun you're going to work as hard as you can because otherwise you might starve to death
Europeans are poorer in general. I dont care about some gay argument about money, taxes or prices, they are poorer because you just see how they live. Same with the japanese.
This is as about as moronic as
>ACKSHUALLY THE AVERAGE SOLDIER WAS ONLY IN THE TRENCHES FOR A WEEK AT A TIME

No one fricking cares about your daily reddit factoid homosexual. have a nice day
What’s it like being so moronic that you think medieval peasants had better lives than people today? Is it just a bad case of contrarianism or genuine mental illness?
No one said they had good lives just that they worked less
You forgot peasants also grew up in a homogenous community and kept lifelong relationships.
This would be the main difference youd experience when living in the middle ages compared to now.
All your friends are lifelong friends youve known since childhood, watching them grow up and experience life alongside you.
Today most lifelong friends are made in college, most people get married late, and most of your friends are over the internet.
>Peasants enjoyed considerable freedom and had 51% of days off. They would only work 4-6 hours a day.
According to people alive in the 21st century with no way of proving it.
Its obvious no work would be done in winter except feeding a few animals
And chopping wood to keep fires burning, doing repairs to living quarters, making food, killing pests, and any shit they didn't get time to due during summer because they were working their bollocks off. Less work than summer, sure, but it's unlikely they just sat around playing scrabble all winter.
>making food, killing pests,
This isnt work. Doing my bed isn't work either
>This isnt work
Yes it is. They would have had to do everything for themselves. There was no picking up some frozen tendies at the supermarket and getting mumsie to cook them for you.
>and getting mumsie to cook them for you.
You think medieval people didn't have moms? That's a new low in propaganda
I had a feeling you were going to say that. Obtaining and preparing food for an entire family was not something one person would typically do on their own.
>Its obvious no work would be done in winter
Thats when the most work would be done you fricking idiot lol. Do you think they just had firewood shipped in from Amazon?
>Do you think they just had firewood shipped in from Amazon?
Its not that hard to chop wood for your personal cooking. We are not talking about feeding some steam engine
>for your personal cooking
Just for cooking?
>Just for cooking?
Sorry i forgot about that steel foundry every peasant had
You really can’t think of any other use for firewood besides cooking?
>You really can’t think of any other use for firewood besides cooking?

If only there was a button to genocide zoolenials, the world could start to heal.
I don’t think they can even fathom the random shit that can happen. Insurance isn’t going to come save you when an Ice dam ruins your roof lol. I know people even today who are constantly doing repairs on their homes just because they live a little bit outside the city
I once lost access to my tools, was moving, and there was no hardware store, so I had to make due with simple or makeshift tools for nearly two months AND they brought me a whole fricking tree to cut down for winter wood.
It was absolute cancer, one of the worst times in my life.
Even today with a house that wasn't run down and modern tools, there is something to do around house literally every single day.
I want to strangle every single Black person who claims this 4 hours a day bullshit, and oh good luck doing anything during short days in winter without modern shit.
Anon, have you tried prayer and reading? Those things consume hours of the winter months. I would know, because Im a based tradgay larper. You should've done those things, moron.
Imagine just having to cut grass without a lawn mower.
>so I had to make due with simple or makeshift tools
Fake and gay. If your story was true you would flesh it out.
What tools?
How many bales a day? For how many miles?
What repairs?
Theres a world of difference between doing hard work now and then and to do so every day all day.
>What tools?
Simple axe, not the splinter one, hand saw, limited amount of nails and screws, couple of middle size hammers, one shovel, simple rake, no electric or gas shit, one ball of string and wire, one fricking brush, one simple wheelbarrow with fricked up tire
>How many bales a day?
150kg, 1.5 km
>what repairs
Two gates, winter wood, fricked up fence, dirty well, water in basement (that got flooded again next week, fricked up wiring, collapsed wall (ever tried mixing cement by hand) etc.etc.
Sound good but I prefer my 0 hours work and internet and porn
You watched that fricking bullshit Historia Civilis video. Peasants had a harder life than you, moron, and no they did not have 51% of free time. They worked much harder than you
why does the historia civilis vid make chuds seethe so much ?
It was contrived and written like a highschool essay

>Speaking of which, hunter gatherers were even happier but le j00wz tricked them too!
This is true though. Hunter gatherers had better living conditions than peasants. Its only since the industrial revolution that living standards have caught up to and surpassed hunter gatherers.
Yeah being a hunter gatherer was so awesome, I guess they just gave it up because... uhhh.... reasons?
>Yeah being a hunter gatherer was so awesome, I guess they just gave it up because... uhhh.... reasons?
Because of war

No no dude... they just decided to make their lives collectively much worse by cultivating crops instead of foraging nature
This makes sense to me, a history buff and evolutionary biologist of the Joe Rogan school, because.... uhhhh... a zoomer on youtube told me
Literally, yes. Why would you assume human history has to inherently have a linear rationality to it? That's how they teach history in public schools. Did you stop learning after public schools? Fricking christ. Look at this board and tell me humans ONLY do things out of pure innovation and efficiency. Fricking moron. BBC cucks are real and they influence human history just as much as the rational.
Hunter gatherers fought for hunting grounds
Impossible, chudpitalism wasn't around to make them fight over land.
>I suppose le j00z tricked the peasants into giving up their amazing lives and shieet.
Basically almost all peasants lost their jobs as grain prices dropped slowly in the past 150 years. Most quit on their own, others were kicked out at gunpoint as happened in England or communist Russia
Plenty of people were forced off their land and into factories at gunpoint, yes.
By the israelites, it must be known.
Anon has never heard of the Inclosure Acts
>man coal miners had it so easy back in the 1920s
>actually my grandfather was a coal miner and he worked incredibly hard despite having machines that people in the 1920s didn't have
>bro what does that have to do with what i just said?
OP is a moron
They need to portray the past as being very diverse so that when young people look at all the problems clearly caused by diversity, they have trouble pin pointing why their life is getting worse because they get their understanding of the past from entertainment and the past was always diverse in entertainment. A new problem can't be tied to something that was always like this. Very similar thinking here - you should be grateful you work unpaid overtime and hate your work, those peasants were worked near to death. Trust the science, after all before science everyone died at age 32!
same reason they call it the "dark ages". israelite run freemasons took over the world starting with the "protestant reformation" and its been all downhill for 600 years
Holy shit op is getting rekt itt
OP might as well kill himself after this thread. So embarrassing.
I'm pretty sure OP was just trolling.
Let's hope so. I don't want morons like him running around
Talented trolls make others look stupid
OP makes himself look stupid
Why are there people in this place wanting to live in the dark ages? Do they really want to be peasants and work for some feudal lord?
>Why are there people in this place wanting to live in the dark ages?
People want to work less and most modern jobs are fake. Almost everything is made by machines. Even in construction the heavy lifting is done by machines.
I mean, you work for Joe Biden, and he doesn't even know your family name.
>Why are there people in this place wanting to live in the dark ages?
Be honest, how intelligent do you think the average person in this thread is?
80
Yes
For me, ancient Greece
Me on the left, you in the middle, me on the right. To be quite honest.
The Name of the Rose
Conditions on a medieval farm would be easier because they would be much smaller. Megafarms are possible because of machinery.
Medieval farmers only suffered when they lacked land to work, nobody ever complained of having land. Tons of children of farmers had to go without land as adults
it was fine when they were in the Church (The One Holy Universal Church of Christ). then.....Protestants showed up
catholic church owned something like a third of the land in france at one point. they are the epitome of all worldly vices and always have been. rome needs a second sacking.
>it was fine when they were in the Church (The One Holy Universal Church of Christ). then.....Protestants showed up
>They would only work 4-6 hours a day.
What did they do in their free time?
Watched kino
Sneed
Getting drunk, playing dice/cards, singing bangers like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iWvPYjYsMg
I wonder why people aren't leaving cities in droves to work the fields and the opposite process is happening. Must it be that field life is complete shit?
I'm squinting my eyes really hard but I can't read gay sex from this image.
Anyone know what it's supposed to say
This post was made in jest, the board iq is not lowering.
Lads, i have done a lot of research on this and it seems like a mixed bag.
Serfs, while they did only have to work around 50% of the year total, were actually a slave class that were sold as property with the land. BUT the land owner had to provide them land, shelter, food etc and if the land owner was abusive or hit the serf, the serf could get them arrested/fined for it. They had to take quite good care of the serfs because otherwise they may get a revolt or serfs running off to the city and abandoning his post. (it was easy to hide in cities in those days and authorities wouldnt help land owners too much to find their run away serfs.
Then you had freeman peasants. Serfs could actually buy their freedom from their landowner and the landowner would have a big celebration. But a lot of serfs actually deliberately stayed as serfs rather than become freeman because of the above benefits. Freeman were basically free agents and could own land themselves, had more rights than serfs and could freely travel. I think serfs too could travel with permission of their owner.
Overall, peasants lives dont seem to bad in comparison to modern people. The land owner would have to essentially give them a house, a wife and a few animals with the serfs' family forced in to servitude for the 50% of their life. Which is less than people now have to spend in order to guarantee safety and shelter.
There is then this idea that a peasant's free time isnt really free because they have to do chores in order to survive. Which is completely dependent on their situation and their skillset. Also a as a counter-argument, people now have to still do certain chores in their free time to exist. Less than peasants, but the other chores that are automated via technology are instead replaced with the time filled with more work for a corporate overlord.
also to add to this, note that serfs could spread their obligated time to work for the lord of the land between the family. So they could get a son working one day, then another working the next etc etc. So the family would get more free time if they were producing kids, but it was probably dependent on the land owner's attitude and greed regarding his workforce.
slavery wasn't a thing, they didn't even consider it
you were just a member of the One True Universal Church of Christ, it might be hard for some israeli puppet protestant to understand but you were one with the land
>it might be hard for some israeli puppet
yeah the israelites took power thanks to protestant freemasons they controlled and then they took over the Catholic Church, tell me something i don't know
right wing alpha chads would all be kings back then anyway. it's only because of israelites that we are held back
As someone who went from a white collar job to a physical labour job I’d much rather do hard physical work and only be at work half of the time then do 8 hours a day 5 days the weak of paperwork so that mr noseberg can buy his 5th yacht.
OP must be very old or have a time machine to know what went on back then
incel neets who genuinely believe they could survive in a world like this are brilliant. your mum still buys your undies lmao
Medieval peasants mums would buy, sew, and wash your undies while you worked the farm and cook all your food for you until you got a wife to do it. Only modern society has convinced you that you have to do everything yourself and their can be no household roles to divide the work
the middle ages are heavily associated with christianity so midwits with a chip on their shoulder about it contrive the period to be cartoonishly miserable in every depiction
Nah it's probably because of the lack of penicillin and the lack of surgical procedures that didn't involve wanton amputations.
so that’s pretty much anything pre mid 19th century then- except all those eras aren’t depicted with a literal dark blue colour filter where everyone’s covered in shit. there are massive misconceptions in the layman public about the middle ages because of how they’ve been presented for years
i mean subsistence farming is hard work. also becoming a craftman and being a journeyman and travelling around sounds comfy, but not sure who was allowed to do that
>Why are they lying like this? Peasants enjoyed considerable freedom and had 51% of days off. They would only work 4-6 hours a day.
moronic tradBlack person head canon. Life as a pre industrial serf was hellish
people really think being cramped into one room of a victorian slum with 5 families in it to work your 16 hour shift in the mine or at the textile factory (your 5 year old son is also employed there) 6 days a week with no other breaks was better than being an agrarian subsistence farmer? is it just americans spamming this moronic shit? even english politicians DURING the revolution commented on how fricking awful the mills were
>we need to go back to being subsistence farmers because of a less than 100 year period in Victorian England
Rightoids are so fricking moronic they have to shit up every thread on Cinemaphile because their entire house of cards is collapsing while their children shoot themselves in their crib by the thousand. Thats why they have to seethe uncontrollably online on a cartoon forum anonymously. All disgusting failure mutts that have nothing to live for but to peddle bullshit on the internet. Really sad but that wont stop them because they are also schizophrenic morons. Cope.
