      But that doesn’t mean the other hours were just leisure time, maintenance of tools, clothing, house, etc also took up quite some time.

        This is not historically accurate. They had 2-3 months of religious holiday where they were not working. Also every Sunday, no work.

        Don’t be an ignorant wage slave. It’s cringe.

          I’m not sure how adding a bit of nuance to the suggestion that medieval peasants might have less working hours than we do is “simping for inequality”.

          I don’t endorse inequality, on the contrary. Hell, the party I vote for in my country is so left it makes Bernie Sanders look like a rightwinger in comparison.

            a bit of nuance

            But only one decontextualized fact that supports my position and not a more robust understanding or anything that would be be genuinely complicated. Not too much.
