Literacy and education are the foundations for liberation. The US has one of the worst educational systems among first world nations, and that's why we are facing the problems we are today.
There are a few timelines where humans have a natural predator. They don't deal with that nonsense at all. When you can just get snatched up by a quetzalcoatl, you tend to lean much heavier towards the collective/cooperative nature humans evolved to embrace in the first place
The U.S. was founded by white religious fanatics who thought they were βgodβs chosen peopleβ and invaded America, slaughtered 25+ million Natives, and stole their land.
This is one of those things thatβs technically true in a highly misleading way. Youβre welcome to go enfeoff yourself and your family to a lord and his land if you want though I guess
But that was for no pay and the time they werenβt working for their feudal master was when they were growing their own crops to feed themselves. Plus church on Sunday was obligatory or the punishment was harsh.
The pay was surviving. They were slaves by another name on the land and couldn't move to other places. If taxes were too high, oops, some slaves died, too bad I suppose.
Peasants starving was also bad for the lord as they would lose workforce. And yield decreasing meant they couldn't pay knigths to patrol so peasants would just flee.
Unlike capitalism when most workers cam be replaced by employer.
But as you can see, people aren't the rational actors we like to think. People literally vote against their own self interest, I'm sure there were plenty of Lords whose greed and shortsightedness cost them. Bit since they had status, I wager many were insulated from the worst of it.
It was the Black Death and the loss of one third to half the workforce that instituted change, not the munificence of the feudal lords.
If there hadnβt been a plague they would still be making us labour for free.
2024 conservatives⦠still dumb complaining about getting help from liberals and not having money, vote for a leader to take more of their money and never pay their share
theyed rather live in squalor under the boot of cis white man than make a decent living looking eye to eye with anyone even slightly different than that.
Dems have. Red states get more tax money than they give. That money comes from Blue states. Plus the dumb fucks keep voting red so how could Dems help them?
My favorite part of the Bible is when that immigrant woman with a fatherless child and 3 homeless old geezers got turned away at the inn over their freeloading.
Through all that hard manual labor, I bet those humble peasants were able to work their way up the hierarchical ladder and become lords themselves!!!... right??
Fuck trickle down economics..itβs had almost 40 years to not workβ¦ when you give rich people more money they keep it.. tax them for 40 years and we can compare economic plansβ¦ itβs not like it can get much worse for workersβ¦
Oh, king, eh, very nice. And 'ow'd you get that, eh?
(he reaches his destination and stops, dropping the cart)
By exploiting the workers! By 'angin' on to outdated imperialist dogma
which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society.
If there's ever going to be any progress
The level of brainwashing is profound, and has been going on for a long time now. Fortunately, awareness of the brainwashing is the opening to freedom from it.
Obama is known for the mass murder of women, children and complete families, mainly by the use of drones. I guess he finds that a much more acceptable way of expressing himself in the World than watching a dumb news channel on American TV.
It still amazes that a serious discussion of capitalism and need for reforms of its system cannot be undertaken publicly in an election. So much of our social and economic maladies can be traced to misfit of capitalism to present conditions and changes in the environment. BTW markets not property.
They probably DID work harder than todayβs billionaires!
At least in the early Middle Ages, as they were required to actually fight in wars. All that was phased away later in the Middle Ages as the Aristocracy decided to not risk their lives anymore.
Today they just take, no work, no risk.
But they did, especially if they were a second son. Henry Tudorβs father (Edmund) died in war and his half-brother (the king Henry VI) did too. Most of the knights were lower nobility too.
Lords were often bureaucrats and generals. Knights were often minor aristocrats as well. Everyone worked in feudalism, just different difficulties different tasks.
Magna Carta is woke and leftist; the people donβt need representation. People are meant to be ruled by a supreme leader who tells them heβs chosen by God. This is whatβs best, right? Right?
Zero upward mobility in feudalist societies. Arguable why Marx/Trotsky/Linen call to revolt didnβt take hold anywhere except those societies. When workers feel they can trade up, no matter how difficult the climb, they choose the climb. Good meme though! π
Medieval Lords were my family.
Sorry they were brutal, hateful savages.
I knew type they were.
Do not think for 1 second they gave a crap about anyone but themselves.
Wealth is created from slavery.
Enslave poor and you gain the world.
My family had 175 million slaves called Slavs. All paid taxes and those taxes became currency for banks.
Banks use my inheritance as source for lending credit now.
Unlimited credit globally.
Bank Secrecy Act hides truth because banks can not show truth or customers would not deposit.
Given the level of credit card debt in mother USA now, neo-serfdom has actually already arrived. The people just haven't realized it fully yet and the new Second Estate is still being relatively careful not to inflame a new peasant's revolt -- so far.
The trickle-down lie was eagerly taken up by centrists around the neoliberal capitalist world after its violent inception in the 1970/80s.
It is no coincidence that the failure of this system to trickle beyond the rich is now enabling global fascism. Well done to selfish centrists everywhere! ππ
π€ I don't think they existed...
The more the Lords had, the more people starved, the more the Lords wanted
Pigeons are the ex; peasants gave all to the noble, could keep very little seed for grinding or sowing
Lords loved the eggs, raised pigeons on the small quantities the peasants sowed in fields
Except; then, now, & in the future, "The Divine" didn't/doesn't/shan't endorse, kings, or governments.
Bc those ignore such Divinity as is keeping that Divinity's commands. Bc they, when applied, always achieve, & result in, true justice & peace. Which neither kings, nor governments, profit from.
Then, you had sign a oath before "god" to never reveal what you know about what is inside the Bible. If a peasant/serf was found to be able to read Latin, they would often be accused of heresy and killed in a typical ecclesiastical sham trial. It was the knowledge that was dangerous.
Latins ignore the lessons of Christ. His 'bride' kidnapped, raped, & further tortured. Which no pre or post religions care to mention. In order to favour monied-man' laziness about sex & work.
Shirking his own personal responsibility in favour of slavery. Which is why he manufactures serf mentality.
Do you know why The Church objected vociferously, to keep The Bible from being translated into common language? So the unwashed rabble could not know what was actually written in it. In that era, to become a lawyer or doctor, you had to study "divinity" and be trained by the Church in Latin. 1/2
Remember a gaggle of illiterate inbred hereditary nobles kept people down for thousands of years under a pack of lies like divine right. This is why we must speak out for human rights, liberalism, and so on. Loud, powerful, confident assholes have a long record of fucking up society for millennia.

It repeatedly commands mass genocide.

Itβs why the Evangelical cult backs Trump.

Folks - they're afraid of you.
None of you would go to a communist country.
But, based on your comments, you have NO trust or even tolerance of capitalism.

Not.
You're fooling yourself. We're living in a self evacuating Autocracy in which the working classes...
"Oh there you go again bringing class into it"
Well that's what it's all about. If only people would re...
I AM YOUR KING!
Well, I didn't vote for you

Yes. They voluntarily would like to be one step above slaves, rather than compete for the American dream, with educated minorities.
Neo-Feudalism is a Conservative wet dream, for dummies.
