none of that shit about famine or plague or life expectancy has shit to do with your income or your relationship to your labor
The point I was making was that to pretend people are worse off now than they were during the Middle Ages is ridiculous
The point of the meme is that a modern-day wage labourer is exploited way more than a medieval wage labourer. There's nothing there about famines, plagues and wars (which by the way only went away from Europe to an extend for the past 80 years, and there's no guarantee that they'll be staying away).
