    What does that have to do with my comment?

    Also: From a material dialectics point of view, the working class of today and the serfs from medieval europe have quite a lot in common. Even moreso, if you take the gig economy into account (see: Yanis Varoufakis’ concept of “techno-feudalism”).

      Read the comment chain?

      I pointed out that noting the meme wasn’t true was a good addendum.

      You said nah.

      I pointed out that comparing our privileged selves to feudal serfs is nonsense. The gig economy comparison is also pretty silly. Can all your stuff just be taken by the gig employer leaving you and your family to starve? It’s just privileged whiny silliness from folks who presumably aren’t spending 14 or 16 hours in a sweatshop or losing their arms mining the cobalt for our phones.

        The comment just didn’t have an obvious connection to the comment above.

        The “addendum” doesn’t cite any sources and claims that a modern household takes 3 hours a week to maintain. The “institute” is full of bogus claims praising liberalism.

        You can just admit that you have no idea what class analysis or feudalism is, you know?

        And your last sentence shouts for the “yet you take part in society”-meme.

          Unless, y’know, you looked at the comment and the context.

          Lol

          And your last sentence shouts for the “yet you take part in society”-meme.

          You either misunderstand the meme or that comparing yourself to feudal serf is mind bogglingly privileged, ignorant and silly.

          Cheers.
