    Meh,

    • They had horrible healthcare they couldn’t afford and WE have horrible healthcare we can’t afford
    • They spent a lot of time at festivals and with their communities helping each other and WE spend a lot of time chatting on our phones, but mostly playing games.
    • They spent a lot of time outdoors doing a lot of work but keeping active, and we can sometimes go for hikes or walks, but we’re Americans, we as a whole, don’t.
    • They knew how an could fix things around the farm, we can watch youtube videos unless it’s electronic or DRM.
    • They had witch hunts and misinformation and WE have witch hunts and misinformation.
    • All of the food they grew was organic but they had to grow it themselves and we have to pay an arm and a leg for non-poisoned food.
    • They spent all day working for the king and we spend all day working for billionaires.
    • They have poor starving people during famines, we have a too big percentage of poor starving people (13% of US population was food insecure during 2023).
    • They had xenophobia and WE have xenophobia.

      When you delve into the details of what those bullet points actually entailed, they were all far far worse in medieval times.
