      Yeah it seems like, this is some entirely naive view of the world, people tend to forget that they are free to go into the woods and forage food etc, but then they wouldn’t have their phones and pcs to post absolute nonsense on the internet.

      Like what does op think people did before “salary” they worked from dawn till dusk on a patch of land trying not to die, before that they foraged and hunted, surviving day to day

        we are not medieval peasants anymore though.

        hunger is something that has no good reason to exist anymore.

          I agree, but that does require that those who can work, do. And also a system that doesn’t center around being greedy.

        What woods are available for foraging that wouldn’t get you arrested for vagrancy? Seems everything is locked down.

            I feel like someone would get mad if you built a place, started foraging and planting wheat, maybe hauled in some solar panels, but I don’t know US law.

        Actually Hunter Gatherer Tribes spent just around 4 hours a day hunting and gathering. Including food preparation and consumption they spent 40 hours a week wich is less than modern humans (if you count work + cooking)

        https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_affluent_society

        Of course hunger, famines, illness, suffering and death were frequent occurrences (so I wouldn’t want to switch places), but for most of human history we had enough time and recourse for random shit like socializing, drawing, singing, dancing, sacrifices, worshipping gods and so on.

      It’s called hexbear, get with the times.

      Edit: not sorry for calling it like I see it. I’m thrilled my message was received and bruised some egos. Try posting image macros of a pig shitting on its own balls to recover from the hurt or something.
