I like their “Midieval peasants worked less than you” poster.

It’s ridiculous that we work so much to earn money to buy the things we need like food, clothes, electricity, etc. When it would take less time to just provide for ourselves directly (farming, knitting, alt energy). Most of our “needs” are directly a result of our jobs like our cars for commuting, work clothes, etc.

I met the TBYT people and ironically, they’re understaffed and work their asses off. Especially on TBYT day, when they’re encouraging everyone to take the day off, they’re working overtime!

I like that people actually believe absurd factoids like that. Luckily, you can still see how much medieval peasants work, because in parts of eastern europe, they’re still basically there, living the way they have for a looooong time. The idea that they work less than “us” is laughable.
