  • I think because I warned some users a couple of times over a year ago, that he thinks I’m a sock puppet of the person/people he has banned. When he got angry about my warning the user, I didn’t engage at all. But a year later in that thread about Discovery, I wasn’t paying attention and didn’t notice that I replied to him.

    He seems to have a lot of drama around him.

    Is there a Lemmy equivalent to karma court?


  • Look at my history. That wasn’t the reason I was banned. Over a year ago I warned another user that I saw that mod ban an account for arguing. That post history was there and flying squid warned him to not do that sort of thing in Ten Forward. A year later I made the mistake of replying to a post that he posted to me. The post was about the writing in Discovery.

    You can see my last post on tenforward that got banned. He deleted it but of course in Lemmy it’s only hidden so you can still view it.

    So yeah, not only did he ban me but he lied about the reason.

    Here is the proof.

  • So… where were the medieval capitalists?

    ??? You said there was no land sale. I proved that wrong with a cited source. The end.

    Nope, the enclosure of the commons prohibited the serfs to come back.

    Farmers ceased to exist? Enclosure riots started in 1530, 200 years before the industrial revolution.

    If living conditions were so much better

    The desire for progress today doesn’t mean the past was better. Did the civil rights riots of the 1960’s mean that slavery was better?


  • You couldn’t buy land in feudal times.

    In the medieval book, The Aristocracy in the County of Champagne, 1100-1300 (2007), Theodore Evergates dedicates an entire section to ‘The Market in Fiefs’

    Land was bought and sold all the time by lords.

    The industrial revolution lead to a stark, tangible decrease in living conditions for the proletariat/former serfs. That’s just a historical fact.

    The serfs left the farm because for all its hardships, it was better. They could have gone back but didn’t. The bigger factor reducing quality of life was population growth.


  • I fail to see a distinction between a Lord owning a farm with a mill that produced flour and a capitalist owning a factory that produces flour.

    Feudalism isn’t exactly capitalism but it’s splitting hairs. Nor do I agree with Engels that serfs had it better because it was in their Lord’s interests. If that was the case then a Capitalist would treat it’s workers better as well.
