>>102334>thought occurs to me that I'm basically living the life of a medieval peasant, but in a vastly inferior formTrue. Wagecuckery is basically sharecropping, where you rent your ability to have work. Which, in theory, is worse than feudalism because the land you're working belongs to some cynical economic opportunist instead of some lord that might actually give a shit about the good of his country. I think pre-civi war America was probably one of the best times to be alive, since you were a free man who worked for what he needed and had enough leisure time for a side-hustle if you wanted. That was how we lived before banker kikes and industrialization totally destroyed society. We can't even pretend we had it bad, because unlike Europeans we were never even serfs. It's funny how when they talk about the history of worker's rights and labor laws in classrooms they would always say something along the lines of "OH BOY, AREN'T YOU ALL SO LUCKY TO BE ALIVE TODAY! WHY JUST IMAGINE THAT HAD YOU BEEN BORN IN THE 1800s, YOU CHILDREN WOULD ALL BE WORKING IN MILLS RIGHT NOW!" Neglecting to mention what life was like before that, or at most coping about how "B-BUT FARMERS WORKED FROM DAWN TIL DUSK"(failing to mention that they took long breaks in-between and the amount of work you actually had depended on the season, and that they actually had significantly more days off than wagecucks living in the US, where there are literally 0 legally mandated holidays and you might get 2 weeks of vacation a year if you're lucky). The idea that "things always get better" is an ideological tenant of modernity.
