“We want it to bloom”
I’ve seen hate for them on Hexbear, I don’t know enough to have an opinion.
Do you mean because whites have been there for thousands of years or do you mean that the cultural genocide by Anglo-America is completed?
those are tampongs

There’s complexity to the question:
How do we define mediæval? (I low-key hate the words mediæval and Middle Ages, partly because of Eurocentrism). There’s no such thing as a “mediæval peasant” really, there were various people at various times. Let me ask: how many days a year does a proletarian work? How long is a piece of string? Now if you look at the historical debate that spawned this meme, they’re actually talking about England 1200-1600.
Are we talking about necessary labour (subsistence farming), surplus labour (for the lord), or both? There is employment for the lord, but then you’ve got to mend your tools, thatch your roof, gather and chop your firewood, grow your own household’s food, etc.
It seems the 150 day claim comes from Gregory Clark’s 1986 paper ‘Impatience, Poverty, and Open Field Agriculture’. And from Juliet Schor’s book, but I think Clark may be her source.
If you look at Gregory Clark’s 2017 paper with DOI 10.111/ehr.12528
it seems he has changed his mind. So is the “150 days” claim based on an obsolete paper from 1986? Bottom of page 17/top of page 18 he says it’s clear people worked 300 days in 1860 because record keeping is good then, but there was an increase TO 300 in the years 1650-1800. Figure 6 does show some very low numbers in the years 1200-1600 (which is presumably what the meme is talking about) taken from ‘British Economic Growth, 1270-1870’ by Stephen Broadberry et al.
This is the best source: Jane Humphries and Jacob Weisdorf’s paper ‘Unreal Wages? Real Income and Economic Growth in England’ gives similar conclusions to Broadberry, especiall in Figure 4, i.e. around 200 days 1250-1300, very low (around 100) 1300 to 1500, and rising to approach 365 days a year around 1850. The paper says “Overall, the working year agrees reasonably well with the trend in the independent estimates found in the literature” and then cites 5 papers. Note that the calculation is based on wages, so we are talking about the number of wage-paying days; they would have subsistence farmed on top of that.
It’s conceivable that Marx’s era may have been the single least chill time in all human history: worse than hunter-gatherers, peasants, or modern social democracy.
My computer’s overheating, might edit this comment later.

Generally, across all historical periods, I’ve rarely seen estimates of anyone working less than 1300 or more than 2300 hours a year.
It is an interesting feeling seeing such sophisticated engineering used for this.
The combination of highly developed human brains and such disgustingly underdeveloped human hearts.
There is something undeniably sophisticated in the mechanics of the attack.
Same as when I hear about the CIA ‘heart attack gun’. If you don’t know, the CIA developed a gun that shot a bullet made not of metal but frozen shellfish toxin that would pierce the skin, melt, and cause a heart attack. A coroner won’t test for rare shellfish toxin and may/may not notice a pinprick wound. So it’s a gun and you point it at someone and they have a heart attack. There’s got to be a part of your mind that admires the ingenuity – and that ingenuity is turned to such malevolent purposes.
There’s considerable academic debate back-and-forth over how much they worked.
They didn’t get Saturday off: six-day wokweek + Sabbath. But to make up with that they had all the St. Swithin’s Day and St. Brice’s Day and all that stuff stereotypical mediæval peasants talk about.
Thailand? It’s middle-development so not consumption-oriented.
I had a much longer list before u said trans-friendly. Panamá closer to your home is trans-friendly but getting pretty fancy/capitalist now.
Nice try FBI
Total pinko shit.
I have one here I just haven’t told anyone about it.
Nope. Let’s not do this.
Note that I said “non-conformist and anti-authoritarian”, which is very different from “class conscious”. Joe Rogan is a Bernie Sanders supporter. You wouldn’t meet many authrights who like psychedelics.
The research says that the change is to do with ‘Openness’: https://www.livescience.com/16287-mushrooms-alter-personality-long-term.html
I guess that begs the question of why non-addictive psychedelics are taboo, and I suspect that one doesn’t have a very good materialist explanation.
Could it be that they lead to non-conformist and anti-authoritarian patterns of thinking?
What is this ?
Thanks for being comradely
