    Are you saying that since now only part of the world is starving, it was better in the medieval age when everyone was starving?

      No one is currently being starved to death (or otherwise being deprived of being alive) because of capitalism

      Are you saying that since now only part of the world is starving, it was better in the medieval age when everyone was starving?

      Also, the nobility & clergy weren’t starving during feudalism, only the peasants during famines.

      in the medieval age when everyone was starving?

      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.

        That’s cool. Do you imply that starvation was uncommon in the medieval age?

      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.

          The Middle Ages were a long period with a lot of variety

          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.

          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

      I’m a huge fan of arguments of the form "Are you saying [absurd nonsense that in no way resembles what they say said]?
