Serfs had more vacation than us and the lord responsible for their suffering had to live near them. Wealth is more concenteated to the elite now than ever before. Capitalism still aims to become neo feudalism where you own nothing and ‘belong’ to multiple lords you’ll never even know the name of. Direct anachronistic comparison isn’t the most telling, and the only undebatable thing capitalism has over feudalism is that youre not born into your job, well some people still are, but thats the only undeniable improvement tbh.
Jesus fucking Christ.
