Among the most immediate consequences of the Black Death in England was a shortage of farm labor, and a corresponding rise in wages. The landowning classes saw the rise in wage levels as a sign of social upheaval and insubordination, and reacted with coercion. In 1349, King Edward III passed the Ordinance of Laborers, fixing wages at pre-plague levels. The labor laws were enforced with ruthless determination over the following decades.Despite all these attempts to oppress labor, wages still increased in general, and there were numerous ways in which the QOL of the survivors of the black death increased. For one, many people reported being able to eat meat 5-7 days a week. Once population levels rose to pre-black death levels a few decades later, the peasants had to go back to eating meat maybe 3 days a week at most.You exist to be a servant of the rich. Nothing more. They will do everything to keep you in your place, including destroying everything.
English wouldn't exist without the plague. England would speak French.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxn-32McBbU

Plagues and wars are the forest fires of the human ecosystem.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvVQKz3V4mo

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consequences_of_the_Black_DeathThe great population loss brought favourable results to the surviving peasants in England and the rest of Western Europe. There was increased social mobility, as depopulation further eroded the peasants' already-weakened obligations to remain on their traditional holdings. Seigneurialism never recovered. Land was plentiful, wages high, and serfdom had all but disappeared. It was possible to move about and rise higher in life. Younger sons and women especially benefited. As population growth resumed, however, peasants again faced deprivation and famine.Furthermore, the plague's great population reduction brought cheaper land prices; more food for the average peasant; and a relatively large increase in per capita income among the peasantry, if not immediately, in the coming century. Since the plague left vast areas of farmland untended, they were made available for pasture and put more meat on the market. The consumption of meat and dairy products went up, as did the export of beef and butter from the Low Countries, Scandinavia and northern Germany. However, the upper class often attempted to stop the changes, initially in Western Europe and more forcefully and successfully in Eastern Europe, by instituting sumptuary laws. They regulated what people could wear so that nobles could ensure that peasants did not begin to dress and act as a higher-class member with their increased wealth. Another tactic was to fix prices and wages so that peasants could not demand more with increasing value. In England, the Statute of Labourers 1351 was enforced, which stated that no peasant could ask for more wages than in 1346. That was met with varying success depending on the amount of rebellion it inspired. Such a law was one of the causes of the 1381 Peasants' Revolt in England.

>>519811769I hate you as much as I hate them. Regardless of how intellectually valid your points are. Fuck them, fuck you, fuck everyone reading this post, I hope you all die poor and starving like the third worlders you imported.
>>519816149Very Jewish of you
>>519815931A lot of truth pills in that article.
>>519811769we've got to gang together to produce our own food and avoid grain.
>>519811769is this why the rich hate low birthrates and declining populations?
>>519816737Before the Haber-Bosch process and the Green Revolution, the global population was capped around 3 billion, we couldn't feed more than that on what was already a stretched and strained carrying capacity. Now the majority of plant crops depend on synthetic agrichemicals, such as nitrogen fertilizer. For example, a catalytic reaction is used to create ammonia and nitric acid, which are combined to make ammonium nitrate. The key ingredient is hydrogen, and the only cheap source of hydrogen is decomposed natural gas. Natural gas has to be drilled, which requires the supply chain to make drills, pumps, storage tanks, trucks, ships, pipelines, etc. All of these synthetic interventions depend on reconstituted finite resources that are made from fractal parts throughout the world, thus a global supply chain without which none of these things can exist today. Billions upon billions of non-Whites depend entirely on this supply chain and the fundamental White man holding all of it together, without which they will starve to death en masse.Meanwhile, the majority of the Earth's landscape and its oceans are contaminated, and the amount of biomass and wildlife loss (including overfishing and bycatch) and desertification cannot be stopped unless billions of people die as soon as yesterday. Around year 1500, the global non-White population was well under 250 million. For the past 500 years, all we've done is extract condensed solar and planetary energies as hydrocarbons and transmute them into billions of non-Whites. All that oil could have been for anything else, or not used at all, but this abuse of technology is like an inverse Philosopher's Stone, transforming pure liquid potential into sub-human shit.
>>519817354Planet Earth is a closed system and there aren't enough resources for exponential growth.Reproductive failure and the subsequent birthrate contraction is currently due to a loss of habitat and increasing scarcity of finite resources. The environment necessary for sustaining and reproducing the species is compromised by ecosystem decay, excessive urbanization, and racial contamination; all of which are symptoms of over-population.Over-population is the only problem to ever exist on this planet, all other alleged problems and crises are symptomatic of over-population. Over-population not only refers to exceeding the carrying capacity of a finite habitat within a finite planet, it also refers to certain people and populations who make problems within an otherwise harmonious world. There would be no - insert problem or crisis - if certain populations were fewer in number or didn’t exist at all. ‘This’ or ‘that’ is a “problem” only because these given individuals and/or collectives merely exist. There are too many people in general, and there are one too many people in specific.Populations fluctuate. Perpetual growth is unnatural. A given birthrate is less important than who reproduces and when the people in question reproduce. A low birthrate is not inherently negative so long as homogeneity and territorial integrity are upheld. The right population will settle at an equilibrium with the environment and birth rates will respond in kind.A population between 1 and 100 million is not only proportionate and sustainable to the Earth's carrying capacity, but also conducive to generating the sort of people who should rightly exist. The key is to have scalable gene-pools amid fluctuation. Every aspect of existence would reach a state of perfection and every day would be incomparably better than the last.Ideology is ephemeral, demography is destiny.
