> As a result, the overwhelming majority of examples of wage labor that we do encounter in the ancient world are of people who are already slaves: a slave potter might indeed arrange with his master to work in a ceramics factory, sending half the wages to his master and keeping the rest for himself. Slaves might occasionally do free contract work as well—say, working as porters at the docks. Free men and women would not. And this remained true until fairly recently: wage labor, when it did occur in the Middle Ages, was typical of commercial port cities such as Venice, or Malacca, or Zanzibar, where it was carried out almost entirely by unfree labor.
bruh is this for real? why nobody talks about it?
No.2817
>>2512A mix of increased awareness of work conditions in due to COVID changes, exponential nature of hype, and recuperation.
1) Work already sucked, but COVID has become a breaking point, and people forced away from work or fired have gained fresh perspective.
2) Attention brings more discussion and more attention. When something gets enough attention to get crossposted to other subreddits or communites, then it has more change to reach /r/all on reddit, then it has more chance to trend and gain more subscribers and lurkers, which increases the chances of other posts being seen. Attention is a feedback loop in an attention economy, like capital enabling more capital, and it will probably happen until the Next Big Thing.
3) Recuperation. For evidence, look at replies to overtly left-wing meta OPs. People saying 'I don't like American work' seems to be liberalizing the anarchistic anti-work phenomenon. It's becoming 'my work sucks' more than 'work as we know it today sucks', probably because 'work' is a nuanced word to the people who named the place, and to a normalfag 'anti-work' sounds like 'sit on my butt and free money', which they find unreasonable. So recuperation has enabled it to become more popular. Now it just needs to be forced back into its original purpose. Good fucking luck for that happening.
