🚜🔄 If you've ever wondered how peasants juggled life, work, and the existential dread of rent before iPhones, this is your 31-minute ticket to tedium. Part IVc of this never-ending saga might just be the best #cure for #insomnia since counting sheep. 💤📜

🧵
> The peasant did not conceive of what was extracted from him as a surplus. One might argue that the politically unconscious proletarian is equally unaware of the surplus value he creates for his employer, yet the comparison is misleading—for the worker, working for wages in a money economy, can be easily deceived about the value of what he produces, whereas the peasant’s economic relation to the rest of society was always transparent.

Ran out of beans unexpectedly so I'm drinking ground coffee like a peasant on a weekend.😞 ... Then again, I am a peasant. I drink brew coffee, and my grinder is only a bladed one, not a burr. I had a garage sale burr grinder once that was rated highly, but I couldn't tell the difference. Plus the bladed one had better features and was $200 cheaper, plus on sale! I'm fine with being a peasant apparently, even if I still grind my own beans sometimes.

@psneeze ha! not in this tiny house - we have minimal electricity anyway but Wi-Fi is important as there’s little phone signal #PeasantLife 😂

Austrian painter Albin Egger-Lienz (1868-1926) worked as a war artist during WWI but was mainly known for his depictions of worker and peasant life using earthen tones

@catarinac right with you Charles, but at least I get to just change the channel.

The most interesting thing about history is not about what happened long ago, but what it says about who we are right now.
