Mao has a great quote about how if you don't investigate something, you have no right to speak. Basically "shut up you stupid fucker" and statements like this are what it was for.
if "everyone was starving" how did humanity survive you dumb fucker
jason hickel talks a lot about actual medieval living standards if you'd ever like to be less of an ignorant dipshit
Liberals really do think Wikipedia is The Holy Scripture
Incoherent.
That simply isn't true. You've made some pretty broad claims about the middle aged already and putting them together it's a pretty easy guess you don't know jack shit about that time period. Cause so far it seems like you've gotten all of your information from pop culture.
so we're to the point where you're not even making substantive arguable claims anymore, you're just expecting people to agree with you because you use reasonable sounding framing
omg just shut the fuck up you clearly don't know what you're talking about
It's always so crazy how people can get ego trapped in the most pointless internet arguments. Like you aren't saying anything! Just trying to wiggle your way through this when you could just walk away from the computer and do anything else.
Lmao they reported you with a "So much for a respectful discussion"

No
If they're not gonna be serious ill just start saying dumb shit back

Also, the nobility & clergy weren’t starving during feudalism, only the peasants during famines.
I'm a huge fan of arguments of the form "Are you saying [absurd nonsense that in no way resembles what they say said]?
