What? And be just like a MAGA moron? Yeah, nah. I'd rather be angry than ignorant. At least then I'm not acting against my own interests.

And also they aren't happy at all. They are constantly afraid and angry at imaginary things, and they're powerless to do anything about it.

With great power comes great deciding what to do with your power

I sometimes wish that I could have been a medieval peasant and just worked a farm or something. Just wake up, farm, sleep. Nothing to think about.

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

The farming part would keep your mind busy, in a healthy way.

This, without the taxes. Just put me on a mountain where no one's going to bother me and my sheep.

And die around 40.
Yeah sounds great.

That's a bit of a misconception. The mean age is heavily skewed by the extremely high infant mortality rates. If you made it to 5 then you had a pretty good chance of living into your 60's and 70's.

I'm pretty sure that's not true. Life expectancy was pretty low for peasants. They literally had no doctors or dentist.

Famine was common.

Google says 30-40 years old. Medieval peasant lifespan.

Infant mortality is not taken into account when determining this number.
