Back to the days of peasants petitioning the lord to restore their holy days

We are all getting fucked by captaitalism
Remember back in the middle ages, when everyone was sporting an axe and knew where the boss’s house was?
And worked a lot less than 40 hours a week
well, worked less than 40hrs a week for an employer. They had a ton of shit to do at home, and if they weren’t married, doubly so.
My grandma used to tell me stories of how long it would take to forage for food before refridgerators
They also had more days off back then, more time to sharpen that axe.
More holidays, but when you’re a subsistence farmer, those aren’t really days off, just days you don’t have to work for the rent.
A lot less workers too to be fair (the plague more than did its work…), so it was a workers market
Come for the racism, stay for the contempt of working people in general.
But the economy!
More context, he said this on June 19th, the day Juneteenth is celebrated across America.
It’s a holiday to commemorate the end of slavery in America.
He obviously doesn’t want any holidays related to black people to be celebrated.What a fucking moron along with all his voters
They need that tax revenue to make up for all the tax cuts for the wealthy.
It’s likely he doesn’t actually believe it, but instead he’s starting a disinformation campaign so that he can let his lackeys start to start doing some illegal shit because it will benefit him.
Nah, he is just that stupid. Doesn’t prevent his lackeys from using the distraction, of course, but he’s just that dumb.
I don’t mean to imply he’s not stupid. You gotta be really fucking dumb to say that at all. I just think he doesn’t care what he says, because the content of what he says is not important. It’s more of a method of controlling the conversation.
What a piece of shit post. He’s using the date to signal solidarity to his racist voters.
What do you mean?
This was posted on Juneteenth.
He posted it on Juneteenth, i.e. the federal holiday that commemorates the end of slavery.
That’s… I’m speechless. I tought it was idiotic when it “just” suggested that workers beg to work more. It had a brazen “abuse and ridicule working people” spin on it. But it not about economic slavery… It’s about the acctuall slavery? That is… we need a word for idiotic and evil and the same time.
Thanks for the context.

Thought slavery is still legal in the US…
Chattel slavery is illegal. It’s true that you can be enslaved, or at least enslaved in all but name and forced to work, as punishment for a crime. I.e. as part of your incarceration. This is per the 13th amendment.
I’m not enough of a legal eagle to explain what would happen or what your recourse would (or would not) be if you refused, though.
‘Best’ case scenario for refusing to be a prisoner slave is you would lose all “privileges”.
No yard time, probably placed into solitary. No commissary access - so things like soap and toothpaste would be withheld.
Food is also restricted to “basics” along the lines of bread and water.
Of course the reality is they will straight up torture you for not playing by their rules. Aka complete withholding of food and interaction and cleanliness as they either ‘forget’ you in solitary or just have an ‘accident’ with you.
It is.

"STFU, Donnie. You’re out of your element. "
fuck him
And then he went golfing. True story.
And he flew using US government plane. He has spent millions on just plane rides.
Who is wasting tax payer’s money.
Golf.
Why do we use the fall of civilization period known as the middle ages as a standard? Most of human history was hunter-gatherers. One of the better moments was during the age of Rome.
Is that in project 2025 ? I dont remember but they are on track for sure.
Where’s Cuba?
South of Florida but North of Jamaica.
From this list, it looks like the US and Vietnam are actually tied for the lowest, with 6 each.
China and Russia with 13, 14.
One of Vietnam’s holidays, Tet, last 7 days, though. So that 12 total days off.
Huh. So they just chill for a week straight? That’s pretty cool.
They work 6 days a week though. So subtract 52 days a year from that 35 and they are 11 days short of the US with 6. They are worse off.
