Being a mediaeval peasant was... LE SUFF-
>>218211046That’s not a peasant.
>>218211068He was a peasant anon, that's called social mobility
>>218211046>dies of extremely minor, preventable infection
I think it’s weird that Europe never has slaves during their medieval period. It’s kind of backwards really.
>>218211114slavery was a myth designed to uphold white """superiority"""
>>218211114Lots of places had a special type of farmer that wasn't allowed to leave, change jobs or decide things about the farm without permission.
>>218211184jannies are the modern equivalent of this btw
Ah yes, the typical late-10th century queen-sized box spring bed with headboard and several fluffy pillows, mammoth-sized pelt blanket, as well as two candles left on (capable of illuminating an entire room).
>>218211114during the High Middle Age slavery declined and mostly replaced by serfdom, but some places had continuous slavery throughout the middle ages and into the Renaissance, like what's known today as Italy and of course the Vikings.
>>218211362A peasant would probably have a large mattress but it would be gross since the entire family would sleep on it.
>>218211046they got like four months off a year and quit when the sun went down, peasants had a better work-life balance than the modern wageslave
>>218211400They grew crops almost all year round. Also they still had to do various farm chores even when they weren’t growing/harvesting anything.
>>218211362Better to sleep like this than have your balls filled with microplastics
Lack of antibiotics and painkillers made life terrible back then. I don’t see the appeal.
>>218211114you mean serfs?
>>218211378The Byzantine-Roman Empire's slave population declined while their Muslim Enemies, the Muslim Arabs and Persians and the Muslim Seljuk/Oghuz and Ottoman Turks were Empires that ran on slave economies and was driven by Holy War/Jihad.
>>218211379>the entire family slept in one mattresshow did they have so many kids back then?
I would have died at age 12 from appendicitis, so I'll settle with being alive in a relatively soul destroying era considering the alternative.
>>218211524>>218211466>He's seriousWhen was the last time you needed to take antibiotics not to die?
>>218211110Go on then. Cure an infected wound in the wild with no modern medicine if you're so great.
>>218211184Except permission was almost always given, and guaranteed if you were going on pilgrimage. Any motherfucker could nope out at any time by joining a monastery or crusade and your lord couldn't do shit about it.
>>218211589After eating your mom's rancid pussy.
>>218211519You learned of country matters early. Likely the large main room would be partitioned with sheets, hay bales, etc for privacy so mom and dad could fuck while the kids stayed on the other side of the room in their own partition.
>>218211046Medieval peasants didn't have antibiotics in their food or the equivalent of a table spoon in micro plastics in their brain and testicles, how backwards and illiberal.
>>218211114Slavic states east of the Elbe ran on the slave trade in the very early middle ages.But it is impressive how quickly it was done away with.
>>218211423They would have had to do that anyway.
>>218211490Serfs aren't slaves.And 19th Century Russian Serfs weren't really the same thing as Medieval Serfs.
>>218211046No era where you could go to war and kill Muslims was suffering.
>>218211737Antibiotics are overrated
>>218211589What movie or t.v. show?
>>218211423>almost all year roundkey word "almost" as in they got winters off
When will we get a show about the Frisian Peasant Republic?
>>218211114Serfdom was almost literally the same thing, the only difference really was whether or not you were a foreigner. Either way, you were still property.Europeans brag about not having slavery, but the only reason is because their own countrymen lived in such abject poverty and servitude that they didn't need slaves.
>>218211911>Serfdom was almost literally the same thing.Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
>>218211833It's pretty popular on guru
>>218211941Point is, whatever their differences, they filled the same societal role.You do not need slaves when your own poors are thoroughly subjugated. Yeah, serfdom was better. Still though, yeah, the only reason Europe phased out slavery is because they didn't need it when they had serfs.Potato potato.

>>21821191199% of everyone was impoverished (by today's standard) before industrialization. The middle class is a modern invention.
>>218212071>Anon, … Son of the mighty nymous. Forced to mind the door while your dad eats and drinks and shits and fucks
subsistence farming and watching toddlers die of random diseases is so heckin based and trad
>>218211670Monasteries were quite selective and often charged significant fees for entry in the form of tithes.
>>218212422You're goddamn right
>>218212422yeah much better to have no children and slave for a faceless corporation like modern folks
>>218212071There’s no way they didn’t jerk off to that.
>>218211237Kek
>>218211114Pretty sure Scandanavia is Europe, lad
>>218211911>Serfdom was almost literally the same thingNo it was not. Serfdom was essentially just land renting. Serfs owed their lords a certain quota of goods, everything they produced beyond that was theirs. They had rights and legal protections and couldn't be sold or traded, and had plenty of leisure time including lots of holidays where they legally couldn't be made to work.Your idea of what the middle ages was like largely comes from Monty Python and the Holy Grail
>>218211110Stop raping kids
>>218213245Oh, piss off. You and I both know that serfdom was an institution for centuries, and it spanned several different countries and cultures.You're fucking delusional if you're trying to imply those rights were in any way consistent or universal.And my point is, again, the serfdom WAS better than slavery, but at the same time, the institution of serfdom WAS also why they didn't need slavery. You don't need slaves when you have serfs. That's just a fact.I can tell you're a European just over how you're getting all pompous about how you didn't actually hellmax your poors as much as you could have. Serfdom was still amoral and disgusting, by the way.

>>218213245NTAYART but><thing> spanning about 1,000 years, implemented from Iceland to Japan was-It is often difficult to make generalizations even about the same region at the same time in history. There were even instances where a church holding a 5 minute walk away from a secular fief had incredibly different lifestyles."Serfdom was" already makes you out to be a bullshitter when it is not immediately followed by a geographical and chronological (and possibly, ecclesiastical or secular) qualifier. One cannot meaningfully make very many non-trivial observations about such a diverse, long-lasting system.

>>218211114Under slavery, unlanded common men could generate capital and a fighting force without employing a skill or providing a material useful to their landed superiors. As feudalism became more complex, this had to be removed in order to protect the entrenched aristocracy. Peasants, no matter how rich they could become through trade and craft, couldn't keep serfs, even if they were allowed to lease land for enterprise.
