This isn’t entirely true - someone calculated that, on a good year, a peasant could only work 150 days a year towards the rent of their own farmland. Then they have to actually work that land, take care of their animals, and manually do basically every industrial process we take for granted to get food in their belly. They didn’t work 150 days a year then go off with a cheque that will sort them out for the rest of the year.
OPINION PIECE no reasearch to backup clames either, boot locker and calibrator of your oppressors back then you had community and town to also help under “rugged individual” facasium capitalismylur forced into a schedule that disbands family and community.
Yeah, sure, good luck only working 150 days, or even taking a whole day off, when you’re supposed to tend to farmland and animals. That’s like having a holiday from being a parent
Funny, I didn’t know calling out bullshit was the same as “defending my oppressors”. I’d love if you could point out the kind of crazy mental gymnastics needed for that

wasn’t this confirmed false?
It absolutely is false and it’s very misleading. Living as a peasant would suck complete ass.

And? They also had communal+generational help with that.
There was bad stuff too, but we are getting fucked here
Assuming communal farming, you just rotate who works each day.
Ok bootlicker defender of your oppressors
