I’m old enough that my grandpa in 1930’s was living not much different than a serf and was constantly malnourished, and it was in one of most fertile parts of Poland, country famous for its fertile fields (it’s even in name, Poland means “Land of the fields/farmlands”). And that was 70 years after serfdom was abolished, because before that it was one huge horror story and literal slavery.

In short: peasants did not had it good.

First pic reminds me how when i had a dental surgery and my cat was very insistent with getting me a cat compress on my face.

Paying of course.

but that in no justifies what China did.

Nice of you to support slavery and serfdom.

I seen them once or twice? Not much overlap i guess. Yogthos on the other hand provided like half the content for entire lemmy before the reddit exodus.

First would be Yogthos, but i wouldn’t use the word “briefly” here

Third is definitely me. But i don’t think there could be any level of fondness for cats that could even be described as “excessive”

Well to be fair i did tried once but noped out.

Yeah it’s all about respecting indigenous heritage, sure. Remind me again, in which year they dismantled the genocider statues at Rushmore?

And it’s always just about who have the power and who won. British Empire ruled over Egypt so Brits could steal whatever they wanted and they were never properly dismantled so they didn’t given almost anything back. Other examples include emperor Constantine looting most of empire to build and decorate city he modestly called after himself, but again byzaboo brain disorder is so common people are still defending this. Nazi Germany also robbed entire Europe but they lost hard so it’s properly called “robbing” nowadays.

Center-Left parties maintained a leftwing discourse and would throw a bone to the Left once in a while (say, minimum wage raises) when in government.

Right-wing oned did the same tbh. In Poland socdem party went from nearly having constitutional majority (2/3rd seats) to complete obliteration and losing every single seat in two terms because they turning into center-right neoliberals (which alrady had their own party so nobody voted on them), but it didn’t make them any wiser, they still do the same neoliberal st. Vitus dance, though they managed to marginally return to mainstream since (on a leftwing promises which they didn’t even tried to do anything about it).
Ultimately the party which did the minimal bone throwing was protofascist PiS and this given them 2 full term in government because even tiny breach of absolute austerity policy we see since 1989 shocked people incredibly.

Rubber chicken. Though don’t do that to Jair Bolsonaro car, then it would be NSFW object.

The worm loves you, it always will love you, and thus it always has.

If you dig back enough, literally every Japanese corpo roots go to some usury house or gambling den in Edo period. Or worse, to aristocratic family. Or both.
