    1. Because living is more expensive now than before. In medieval times, you had a 30m² wooden house on your farm that you probably built yourself, no heater, no car, no brand clothes, no washing machine, no electricity at all, no water pipes, etc.

    2. Because when you work on a farm for yourself, you keep 100% of your work. When you work for a company, it keeps most of your work for itself and gives you some compensation in return that depends on a combination of “how much do you need for living” and “how easily could you find another job”.











  • I have found a method that works 100% of the time for me. It sounds silly but bear with me. After the hiccup starts, I tell myself “hiccups arent real” or some equivalent phrase, in my inner voice, as convincingly as possible. Like I actually believe it. It stops immediately, before the second hiccup.

    I am spreading this method among friends and family, I would say around a third of them report successes, but Im pretty sure not all of them have tried it seriously and some brush it off as bs.


  • There are no communist regimes though, while there definitely are capitalist ones.

    The problem is that by using the word incorrectly the idea of communism is being criticized by examples of people not even trying to implement those ideas.

    Thats like saying the concept of charity is bad because there are people who use charities for money laundering.
