    I would imagine its less then 38 a week.

            To allow people to check: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_religious_populations. Together, Christianity and Islam adherents make up ~56% of the world’s population.

        I believe the Abrahamic faiths, or societies created roughly from their rules, cover the majority of humanity.

      Everything about it is perfect. The shitty take, using threads, the cringy profile picture.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if it was fake, but it probably isn’t.

    If you remove free time, people spend less money on entertainment, trips, restaurants, museums… Whole economies depend on that.

      It’s not about the economy, it’s about widening the class gap and inflicting suffering.

    My mind goes to that snippet going around some time ago about peasants having 100+ holidays a year.

    Like, yeah. People need ample time off. Even feudal lords knew their surfs needed time off.

    And women don’t need the right to vote! We don’t need to ban child-labor, or even slaves! We don’t need any laws about health or safety at all!

    I realize I’m falling for the rage-bait… but fuck outta here with that nonsense.
