@WashedOutGundamPilot @justinerickson @LukeAlmighty Everyone is sick for starters. Guys, especially, have very little "oomph" (low T, bad diet etc, which was locked in long before they could do much about it.)

Communities are dead. There is no one to teach you trades, hobbies, how to talk to girls, etc.

Physically, everything is disgusting and worn down. Depressing to look at. And during COVID, you could not go to venues or go out much at all (or literally at all in some placed -- damn helicopter police were sent to get kids on Australia who went out during quarantine.)

Snitch culture. Everyone is suspicious of everyone. Reminds me of the British guy who talked to a girl and got sent to court and sentenced to community service and is some kind of sex offender for christsakes.

Women and men are all gross. Unless you are super good looking, you won't get shit on online dating. Work hard, get in shape, get money, and women will still be a struggle -- and you'll probably have to accept a girl way below what you should be getting (and could easily divorce rape you and take your kid and turn him into a tranny.

And that's really it. You don't get the money, the respect, the woman, the house for your work. And increasingly, with things like a house, it is becoming outright impossible to obtain for many.

So its not really that people are lazy, its that you get nothing for working. Why work for nothing? Would you go to work if you didn't get paid?

Men especially do not get "paid" by society these days, so they don't work. It is that simple. "Pay" them, and these "lazy kids" will get right to work.

@justinerickson @deprecated_ii @LukeAlmighty @WashedOutGundamPilot usury is what keeps you enslaved to debt, and it was illegal in most kingdoms, in all religions, for a reason. for clarity, usury = any interest on money owed.

sometimes they’d tolerate jews and their antics because they had strong financial networks because of their strong kin ties.. but they would never really follow any laws prohibiting them from exploiting the peasantry with vices, as an example, and things would get so bad they’d get thrown out.

all that out of the way, what do I get in a “medieval” world such as Europe in 1153 A.D. as a peasant?

Well, I’m tied to the land. Ok, I don’t have the “freedom” that modernity promises (but takes away when I criticize jews a bit too publicly and too much for some reason in spite of them allegedly not having any power).. I pay rent to my lord, and a tithe to the church, and in turn that lord is expected to defend me against external threats and provide for my welfare when times are tough, the church acts as another stronghold I may request succor from when times are bad.

I will generally also be able to marry, have kids, and have more meaning through this work than.. whatever the fuck you’re defending.

My lord himself answers to someone else, maybe the King, and that King may be the head honcho, or he may himself answer to the Emperor (Holy Roman Empire, Byzantine Empire as examples).

I am oversimplifying it but there is a clear hierarchy and purpose for everyone in this “great chain of being”, and those who abuse their power did not last long. but it was not going to last forever, sure, with mass communications and literacy making information warfare easier.

there was a glimpse of something modern yet similarly honorable to service in a feudal European society, in fascism and national socialism, and the entirety of world jewry used their considerable influence and resources to get their shabbos goyim leaders of the “Free World” to conscript vast armies and mass produce machines of war to destroy it utterly.

“kids don’t wanna work” niggers would be awfully surprised to see the insane contracts the alaskan companies sign with a new crop of UND pilots

“what?!?!? YOu’ll PAY me to fly? Hell yes!!! NINE WHOLE DOLLARS AN HOUR? Whenever I fly?!?!”

“yup, and you’ll fly ALL the time! There’s so much work to do! The weather in Sitka, Alaska is fantastic, you’ll be full time!!!”

“HELL YES I’LL COMMIT TO 3 YEARS !!!!! Oh, sure, I don’t care about the $20k cancellation penalty!!!”

@Some_German_Guy @justinerickson @LukeAlmighty @WashedOutGundamPilot The real problem is that wages =/= productivity and have been diverging continuously since the gold standard ended, which was itself caused by inflationary debt-based economics. Losing the gold standard simply took the brakes off by allowing the wage-productivity disjunction to finally happen. The housing market is a symptom and nowhere near the actual problem.

All these posts are spot on that the jobs don't pay for what they're worth, and basic economics actually proves this: if labor demand goes up, wages go up. If the labor supply is large, demand is low, so wages don't go up. We're seeing a national 'soft strike' to dry to push the wages up, and the kikes are only too eager to use both parties to prevent a correction.

@justinerickson @LukeAlmighty The world has changed significantly. The kids can rightfully be ragged on for a good amount of laziness and apathy, but if you grew up outside their generation it’s hard to understand their mindset.

No church, no real purpose, no moral code other than generic pop culture niceties. The boys raised exclusively by absent (if any at all) fathers and socialized to act like women by a never ending stream of female teachers and obsessive mothers.

The girls taught that the highest virtues a woman can express are imitations of masculinity - ambition, abrasiveness, selfishness upheld as the bar of feminine excellence - and all of them thrown into an economy bearing nearly 100 years of red tape, regulation, and law standing in the way of their careers.

@justinerickson @LukeAlmighty Self-fulfilling, too. So many of our parents never ‘got’ why everyone was single, even when they had careers and a future. Doesn’t matter if you’re a med resident, you’re earning $22k a year and living like a pizza driver, that’s a hard sell to stupid women…..and a whole lot of ‘em are real dumb.

There's a really complex dance going on. In 2021/2022, people just needed workers. Signs were up saying they'd get sign-on bonuses and get paid $14 or $16 .. but at the same time, they needed to keep workers who were getting $11/$12 before Scamdemic-flation.

You hire someone for $15 just to fill a spot and all your $11 are like "Why are they getting $4/more when I've been loyal." So they leave. A lot of these owners can't afford to hire someone else at that price, so they gotta squeeze people for more hours. People who leave quickly find out that $15 at the new place ... also are asked to work 50~60 hours/week. They need the money, because inflation is insane. (hence this is why you have that screenshot of the person getting fired for discussing income ... shitty, but that's why).

In the small town I lived in last year, I knew gas station owners who were working 80+ hours a week because they couldn't find staff they could afford. Remember: low unemployment is really good for workers. Smaller pool meaning shops need to pay a good price. But with the jumbled up scamdemic+inflation, you have a weird people shuffle that kept driving up wages .. wages a lot of shop owners couldn't actually afford (because unemployment was actually high), leaving them understaffed and just picking up the work themselves to keep the business afloat until they could afford workers again.

They cycle is just gonna get worse, because the current market isn't remotely natural. It's been propped up by printing money, reducing limits to unemployment and devaluation across the board. Now Former Vice President Biden has hired a small army of IRS agents and dropped the hobby income ceiling from $10k all the way down to $600, and wants everyone from Venmo, Cashapp and PayPal to report the same crap Square and Credit Card processors report! His handlers make him say he's going after the rich, but really this is part one of individual social credit scores (use more cash and Craigslist kids!)

Anecdotal: my HVAC just went out a month ago. I got a tech recommended by a friend (actually a high school classmate's dad). HVAC was almost 20 yeas old and had holes in the heat ex changer, but I was able to get a replacement that week and he had a crew of three for the install. They were fast, and also seemed to have other jobs lined up. 🤷‍♂️
thinking about the time I went to apply for a job and the boomer ass boss had a meltdown because I wasn't there for the interview on the dot, had resume gaps, and wasn't wearing fancy ass clothes.
I made Japanese curry and damn, who would have thought I'd like it? Honestly, Asian tastes are kinda weird, everything's slightly sweet and alien to me or has some very sharp or exaggerated tastes.

But yeah, I added too much water initially. I had prepared some chicken stock and added that and half water, but it seems I needed quite a bit less water so I just did what I could, I simmered it until it turned to the texture I wanted. I mixed the Japanese curry paste myself since I have all possible condiments maybe except nutmeg.

The vegetables didn't turn to mush despite simmering way more than what was provided in the recipe, so all's good. :ina_pat:
