Has life always been this retardedly competitive or is this because of the internet ruining everything?
>>84832911Life has always been insanely competitive. This is unironically the most uncompetitive time in history
People in most civilisations in history did not have as many options and could not compete for everything and had more simpler paths usually.Whereas it's assumed everyone born today can basically become anything. Regardless if you're a man or woman, rich or poor.
>>84832916ahahahahahahaLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
>>84832916dis nigga forrea??
>>84832928Bro in any other time you'd be a peasant forced to work the field for no social advancement in or pussy for your labor. Its not great now but we have it easier
>>84832916you used to compete for jobs in your town only with people in your town, now you compete with the entire world for jobs in your town
>>84832941i dont think you know what uncompetitive means
>>84832930>>84832928>>84832946I forget you are all autistic as fuck. My point is now is not great but it slightly easier than any other time in history. If you can't see that you are retarded
>>84832961Just because the barriers are different doesn't make it less competetive retard
>>84832961retard in the 60s you could work at mcdonalds and make enough for both college and buying (not renting) a two story fucking house in a year. you could have unprotected sex with hippies all day and hiv wasn't even a thing in the west yet. we're living a hell time, even medieval peasants got entire seasons off and had familes, wives, sex, and their own homes
>>84832941But you wouldn't just be a peasant forced to work in the field though in any other time, people still did many different things before the industrial revolution. And also I'm not sure what you mean by "no pussy" people got married, even if you were a surf.
>>84832972Rose tinted glasses, a small section of middle class fags could do that. >>8483297890% of people were peasant workers and we are 4chan subhumans. Thats the angle im getting at you're not suddenly a normie in a different age
>>84832916Life was more brutal but past a certain point less competitive. So long as you completed trials in childhood and managed to survive to adulthood, you were pretty much guaranteed reproduction and a house, so long as you werent a slave.
>>84832911It's kinda crazy. I can remember a time when someone beat darksouls with dying. It was considered an insane feat that took years after the games release for someone to come along and do that. After Elden Ring released, someone did a deathless run of it within a month, and a no hit run came next not too long after.It's apart of the attention economy man. The challenge of the game itself isn't sufficient to make people care so people will impose various handicaps "Can you beat X without using Y???" so that people will pay attention.So yeah the internet ruined things because it made grinding and theorycrafting easier while also giving a massive insentive to do so when large popular video websites became the norm
>>84833033even slaves had wives and children
>>84832999>90% of people were peasant workersYou said working fields, now it's just peasant "workers." Well worker can mean anything.But I don't know what you mean by the rest.
>>84833075Not that anon but what the fuck do you think a peasant is anon
>>84833085He said "peasents working the field" then changed it to "peasent workers"That's not the same thing. 90% of people were not "peasants who worked the fields" in every civilisation in every time around the world.If you disagree show me the documentation. Show me a medieval or ancient greek register of occupations.People didn't just grow food and sit around and do nothing else before the industrial revolution. There were just as many or more jobs back then. Considering most jobs today have been reduced to general machines.
>>84833107I have a feeling he wasn't be strictly literal anon. "Peasant working in the field" is a stereotype people use to generally describe the social class, not its exact role. If you want to troll over a census try Englands doomsday book.
>>84833135"in any other time you'd be a peasant forced to work the field for no social advancement in or pussy for your labor."Is not accurate, at all, but yes if what he says just means something totally different then I guess it would be true. Like if you changed "no pussy" to "you'd be more likely to have a wife then then you do now" then yes it'd be more accurate.
