@OGDonBrazy @magus_vera @TheRealCapyGoat @hachiseiboshi Castrating children doesn't really seem like something to boast about.

Also not sure how being castrated would make someone, 'more of a woman' than an actual woman.

Their whole point really falls apart with the smallest consideration.

[Oh Snaps @TheeBlip]

@OGDonBrazy @magus_vera @TheRealCapyGoat @hachiseiboshi It would also be really dumb for slaves meant for manual labour. Lower testosterone: weaker slaves.

In reality, some slave children were castrated to serve as eunuchs, and others were castrated as punishment for (being accused of) attempting rape (of a white woman).

@JohnVagrut @TriangleCyclops @not__vee There's just far too many black and disabled people in this for me to enjoy such trivial things as, 'gameplay'!

@BlueLivesErect @Uus_it @svpino @ivanfioravanti Some are morons.

@wilsonsilva90 @WillettMartin @iamyesyouareno That's the problem with England, the English.

We should expell the English and just leave the country to polite Asians.

@gbdman @f_frieza @princely_crow @1223MCMXC @A_Sober_Drunk @JUNlPER How else are you going to pay for your booking fee, if not to work for $1 an hour """voluntary""" labour?

[Oh Snaps @TheeBlip]

@f_frieza @robtelford @princely_crow @1223MCMXC @A_Sober_Drunk @JUNlPER What's your point? That poor and uneducated people are promised work in another country, only to have their passports taken, forced into illegal debt, and then made to do gruelling work that they never signed up for?

[Oh Snaps @TheeBlip]

@HeraldOfBelakor @Zezinho_C_arroz @ivanovskye None of those things could exist as they do today or be as accessible as they are today without industrialisation.

[Oh Snaps @TheeBlip]

@Choooooobs @TiredPolitical @HistoriaCivilis Not according to the numbers presented in HC's video. Aside from a very brief period of time, the video states we historically had 33% of days off work. That's compared to today's current minimum of 39%! Not to mention we don't have to make our own food, clothes or shelter!

[Oh Snaps @TheeBlip]

@connrokelt @bigseb31213 @AhmadRushd @HistoriaCivilis Also, I think it's disingenuous that he didn't show current free days in England. He just compared peak Medieval free days to early industrial free days. No one in current era England is working 16 hours a day, 6 days a week, year round. Yet he still uses it as a point.

[Oh Snaps @TheeBlip]

@connrokelt @bigseb31213 @AhmadRushd @HistoriaCivilis Thing is, the time people spend working now creates a society that produces the modern conviences we rely on to not have to toil away for hours to personally make our own food/clothes/fuel/shelter. That's worth it to me for an extra couple hours of work a day.

[Oh Snaps @TheeBlip]

@joefxd @androme_duh @HistoriaCivilis That's excluding any sick days, which are paid, as well as any extra holiday people have earned or negotiated for.

That's what English people get working in an industrialised capitalist society. A society that produces things like power tools, central heating, low cost food, etc

[Oh Snaps @TheeBlip]

@joefxd @androme_duh @HistoriaCivilis His video uses the statistic of 51% days off, that even he says isn't representative of a significant time period, and compares it to industrial era 15%. Then makes claims based on that about current society.

How about using the actual current number? 39%

[Oh Snaps @TheeBlip]

@Zezinho_C_arroz @ivanovskye And there's some weird thing where he conflates capitalism and industrialism saying, 'industrial capitalists'.

Argue all you want about the benefits and drawbacks of capitalism, but is anyone really that bummed out that they can purchase clothes, food, and use power tools?

[Oh Snaps @TheeBlip]

@Zezinho_C_arroz @ivanovskye The main thing is that those people were working much longer hours than us, they just weren't earning a wage for that time. They weren't able to just go buy clothes, turn the heating on, and hire someone with power tools to fix their shitty roofs. They had to do all, by hand.

[Oh Snaps @TheeBlip]

@Eirene_Wolfe @SledgeJohns @HistoriaCivilis It's annoying because I actually support fewer and more flexible working hours. But the video is just disingenuous. Not only does it falsely represent the labour medieval peasants had to do, it compares it against 19th century working conditions as if they represent current time.

[Oh Snaps @TheeBlip]

@MyTakeOnThis866 @klemperermania @OnlyAWorldAway @HistoriaCivilis It's also disingenuous. His claim is that we work too much now, but cites 19th century work hours. People in modern English society aren't doing 16 hour shifts 6 days a week, with no holidays. Why use that as the comparison?

[Oh Snaps @TheeBlip]

@PJ11819211 He claims we currently work too much but his data doesn't even catch up to modern times. No, Historia, modern English people aren't working 16 hours 6 days a week with no holidays.

You can't say "we work too much" then go on to list 19th century working conditions. Disingenuous.

[Oh Snaps @TheeBlip]

@Zezinho_C_arroz @ivanovskye Quote from his own video: "There just wasn't much for poor people to spend their money on. Food, clothing, housing. That was pretty much it."

Yeah, I think imma work an extra couple hours a day and enjoy my factory built PlayStation, thanks.
