Most of what is done today would not be identifiable as "work" to a 14th century peasant.
ur legit retarded
neets and kids keep gaming alive
>being a McDonald's cashier is totally like toiling outside in farmland without any modern agricultural equipment, fertilizer, or pesticides
Indeed. It'd be identified as slavery.
Huh I work 6 hours a day monday to friday, how's that?
This. People worked harder and more back then simply because they had nothing more fun to do. I hate working but I'd much rather be working than sitting for hours doing nothing.
Modern work is worse than peasant work.
I'd rather til a rocky field for 14 weeks a year than do 52 of AIDS office computer typing
>t. grew up on a ranch
Quite the opposite. Most of what we consider leisure would be considered a form of work back then. E.g. a man devoted to reading whatever ancient works he pleases would considered to be working. Now, we do this on our own time.
The image is straight up bullshit. Being a peasant was straight up a full time job. You might not have gone out and worked a job, but you couldn't just go to the shops and buy food or new clothes either. You had to grow your own food and make your own clothes. Hell you couldn't even just eat your food after growing it because cooking was a pain back then. You'd need to collect a lot of fire wood and start your own fire before cooking anything.
None of this would be considered a job, but it's sure as shit hard work. Harder work than 99% of people today work.
I feel like this is reductive.
>you couldn't just go to the shops and buy food or new clothes either.
Yes, you absolutely could. Europe had well develop markets in the 14th century.
Peasants didn't have to collect funkopops back then so they didn't have to grind for it.
The issue is the kike psyop of hyperconsumism.
they didn't make their own clothes in the 15th century. Woodcutting and maybe water bringing are the two valid points you can bring up.
I would slave my life away for some funkies. They are plastic gold
>he thinks people collect firewood every time they need to make a fire
If you dont like it then build a time machine and go back.
I love the 15th century. It's my favourite period. Such an interesting and beautiful time of strife and growth for my country.
This isn't news to anyone who has grown their own food. Between preparing the soil, planting and harvesting there's really nothing to do but watch it grow. This is especially true with staple crops such as wheat and potatoes.
nah, everybody today are still peasants. You have to seek permission if you want to leave your country, you still pay taxes for everything and anything you do, the draft aka being a levy. It was better in the past because at least the nobles couldn't fuck you over since everybody was catholic. Now today's nobles aren't held to any standards due to the Protestants reformation.
You're thinking of the stone age or the beginnings of agriculture, not 14 century Europe. It's widely agreed on by historians that the Industrial Revolution lead to a massive surge in work hours per person compared to virtually any previous period. Most civilized countries then dialled that back by introducing stuff like the 40-hour week, but that's still an increase over the amount an average person worked in many historic periods. We've just been gaslighted into believing we're lazy cunts.
