Will #Sunak allow the #peasantry to use it now so many public #swimming #pools have closed due to the #costoflivng crisis? https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/mar/12/rishi-sunak-has-electricity-grid-upgraded-to-heat-his-private-pool?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

The American Revolution is dead. It was a good 200+ year run.

I am a peasant now.

We are all owned by facebook, google, apple and amazon. The tech companies are our feudal overlords.

I am busy all day serving my lord by posting to their content farm.

I hope this post gets a lot of likes. My poor children are hungry and I have to feed my pregnant wife.

@YoJawnski If this really is the #newnormal eventually masks will be socially invisible, as they are in #Asia.
At the same time I think eventually the #peasantry will become more educated and self preservation will kick in. My pre-#pandemic threshold for that was naively low, but I have to hope we're not going to endlessly plunge deeper into an immunological disaster.

By way of an introduction, one of the books I wrote 'Kill all the Gentlemen' told the story of rural class struggle in England. I am currently researching to write a book on the German Peasant War of 1525, Reformation and Revolution, for the 500th anniversary. If that matches your interests, say hello. #Socialism #peasantry #marx #engels #1525 #Germany #reformation

A post I wrote a little while back explaining the origins of my current research project: “Peasant Modernism: The Cultural Logic of Post-Capitalism”

We often wonder how many highly skilled individuals never reach their full potential and destiny because their little part of the world is #droneBombed into #peasantry, and raped of its natural endowments.

Maybe we can spare a thought today for people in Yemen, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Palastine, Libya and other place touched by devastating terror.

Just one minute or two.
