  Except, no?

  Medieval peasants had SOOO many holidays.

  It was a cheap way to keep them from violently revolting. Even then, it didn’t always work.

  Speaking of violent revolt against an oppressive system, where are we at?

    Medieval peasants had SOOO many holidays.

    Holidays meant “you don’t have to work for the lord who owns your land”, but since they were subsistence farmers in the middle ages, that meant they still had to tend the animals and do the work on their own plots. They were absolutely still working during their “holidays”.

      It is not the work but the pay…and the lord is always in the way.

    Why does everyone think “ancestors” means medieval? The people I never met in the 1800s are ancestors too. So “Um ahkchually” right back at ya

  “In the Middle Ages, people actually had more leisure time and more holidays than we do,” cultural historian Witold Rybczynski tells ABC RN’s Life Matters.

  “Leisure was more important in terms of everyday life than the work. The work was harder and broken up much more … compared to today.”

    Yes yes yes… You give these fat cat bastards an inch and they’ll take a mile. Efficiency is not for me. It’s for the money man. Also, what type of efficiency are we talking about here?

    Maybe they meant the 1800s?

  To be honest, that’s exactly what many “conservatives” today want. They would be better described as reactionaries than conservatives.

  Common misconception, very wrong though. During Industrialisation was the all time peak but today is still much higher than hundreds or thousands of years ago

    So the people of the 1800s aren’t my ancestors?

      They’re a very small minority.

        Way more of my ancestors lived before 1800 than after?

  We’ll all become peasants who serve a lord and we’ll call it natural living
