OP is clearly trolling now. Not worth giving them attention.

I have fallen in love which is a sign of good health but otherwise mostly about being afraid in c/comradeship@lemmygrad.ml

I don't understand what you're trying to say?

Do you think a feudal peasant had a better quality of life than the modern labour aristocratic proletariat? in c/asklemmygrad@lemmygrad.ml

Oh to be a white man born in the 1950s. Can you link me any of Hickels work? Sounds interesting.

I agree on the medical side of things. I accept that we have a higher life expectancy than people did then. I was more interested in comparing the quality of life. This includes things like happiness, community, and so on...

Hi, these are great points. Do you have any sources for these claims so I can look into them? Appreciate it.

Thanks for this. Only just now did I have the time to sit down and watch the video. All I can say is, this is a great video. The video confirmed by suspicions. Nice to know we have it worse than our predecessors.*

Edit: *In terms of work

I have not looked into any sources on what life was like for a feudal peasant. However, I've heard that peasants had more holidays and rest. I also believe the life of a peasant was more communal and satisfactory with religion being a central feature. This, to me, is a stark contrast to the life of the modern proletariat in the Global North who often lives for work, is more and more isolated, and maybe gets only a month off work. Yes, we have higher life expectancy now (quantity) but I cant help but think that peasants had a better quality of life. Please educate me on this topic and provide some sources to look at. Thank you! 🙏

I got a tough one for you. Are dialectics eternal? in c/philosophy@lemmygrad.ml
[–] ProletarianLandlord@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 6 days ago

The Marxist dialectic is just a way of thinking thats more accurate than anything thats come before it. At some point some other philosopher will end up devising a way of thinking that surpasses the Marxist dialectic. Philosophy isn't a static thing. Marx built on Hegel's ideas of dialectics taking it from it idealist sense and flipping it to apply the material world. This is how Marx was able to arrive at the conclusion that capitalism could not last. Socialism and communism will have contradictions like the capitalism that came before it. To overcome those contradictions, maybe a new way of thinking must be surmised - we do not know. For now, it is paramount to act on what we do know and overthrow capitalism. Marxism is a science. Just like Einstein expanded upon Newton's theory of gravity; Mao and Lenin expanded on the theories of Marx. It's a process. Theorising "will dialectics always exist?" is a pointless exercise. A different theory will arise. Dialectics is just the most accurate right now.

It took me two takes to notice the cat. That's trippy.

This is the insanity of trying to get treatment on the NHS. in c/comradeship@lemmygrad.ml

Yeah was trying to seek help with mental health on the NHS. Kept getting referred to different people and organisations and eventually just gave up. Been trying to determine if I have ADHD, autism, and/or bipolar. Guess I won't know until something serious happens or I get hospitalised. The NHS just isn't what it used to be.
