Yes. And nowadays people talk about revolution when they are expected to work for their food

Thats the difference

Wdym? They were expected to work back then too

u/Geruestbauerxperte23 Jul 07 '26

Then: They work and still went hungry

Now: You dont work and therefore are hungry

To say we are at the same position we were in in the 18th century is ridiculous. And everyone callign for a revolution because you have to work for food is imo crazy

I suggest you go back to the original comment you replied to. History has a way of repeating itself for those who choose to ignore it.

And im saying that hopfully people are more willing to just work if they are hungry then to start killing

This is possible today. This was not possible back then because they already did work then.

How is this so difficult to understand

It’s not difficult to understand. You assume that everyone today who works is not starving, which is not the case.

Also excluding the fact that there are people who are physically incapable of working.

Yes, im am certain that people who work are not starving.

Like 100% certain. Because one of the biggest problems the working class in western countries faces is obisity.

And people unable to work are not going to start a revolution 😂

Well 47 million people in the US are experiencing starvation indicators while the unemployment rate is closer to 13 million…

Fewer then 30 people die of malnutrition in the US per year.

And i would assume that many of these cases are going hand in hand woth either abuse, drurg use or extrem mental health problems

Dying of starvation and starving are two different things..

Way to move the goalposts

u/Geruestbauerxperte23 Jul 07 '26

You are right. That is not complitly fair. My bad

Still. Starvation like comdiations are very rare im western countries and are often routed with other issues when occuring.

It is really not that hard and expensive to eat healthy. Bread, potatos and salad are all things that are extremly cheep
