I love capitalism I love when the entirety of my existence circles around earning money in order to not starve to death. We should be happy that we live in good times and only 60% of our lifetime goes into work, and not 80% like ages ago.
@talviunelias In the past peasants actually had more free time. When not farming in the winter they hd fuck all to do and just hung out until planting season and then hung out again until harvest time.
@Jazzy_Butts @talviunelias there were also a lot more time consuming chores but yeah, working conditions and individual rights progress non linearly throughout history
we dont live in the best period of history, just a period of history

@cum @talviunelias @Jazzy_Butts note that technological advances that lead to less time being consumed for something essential do not historically make that time "free", but rather free to be reallocated for another piece of work
