Landlord is actually legally bound to care for you, provide justice, provide physical security, and look after your spiritual wellbeing.

Legally required to accommodate you taking pilgrimages, too.

I dont think peasants technically paid taxes themselves either, they paid rent to their lords though.

Sometimes rent was paid in onions, eggs, wine and similar farm made products.

These memes are always a huge misrepresentation, there wasn't an "off time" where they kicked back on a couch. They "only worked" 150 days a year because their main job was farming and that was the growing season. The rest of the year was spent working odd jobs, maintaining their land and property, and surviving winter. The Bible mandates one day off a week because people were otherwise working every day. While people worked harder back then they were happier because it was real tangible work that benefitted their immediate surroundings and not fake busywork that makes some magic numbers in a bank account go up every two weeks.

> The Bible mandates one day off a week

Fun fact: the people who invented the metric system, where every unit is a power of 10 - they also tried to institute a 10 day week specifically to prevent people from knowing when to go to church.

They were evil fuckers.

They also abolished the church entirely and renamed Notre Dame “The Temple of Reason” to center around their Cult Of Reason.

They're the same people who made the metric system?

Being a peasant IRL. The grind is real. So many errands.

The peasant grind was real but as a result the people were real.

There were many festivals, pilgrimages, worked on crafts, played music, found various ways to have fun. https://www.ranker.com/list/free-time-for-medieval-peasants/kathy-benjamin

And yet when you mention working from home now, people talk about how you're a lazy piece of shit. Honestly, fuck 90% of employers. If you can work from home and still get paid, do it. Fuck 'em, they aren't worth your time on this Earth.
