First time in the entirety of my life I've seen someone connect the term "freezer full of meat" to meat bought from the store. That's indicative of something but it's too early for me to start on that....going to be a long day already.

His original point is true though. The Middle Ages have been consistently painted as poor, dark, bleak, cold, backwards etc, which is a blatant distortion of history. The serfs did live better than the average city dweller today.
My brother, my family has a small farm. You come on down with IIMT all expenses paid and I will gladly provide you the life of a serf for the rest of your days.
I'm not ignorant to the concept of jew revisionist history but the concept of longing to be serf is something else entirely, that's actually some revisionist history in itself.

I did not say that I wanted to be a serf nor did IIMT. Stop flexing please, I made a simple point. I said that the average city dweller today lives worse than a middle ages serf, which is objectively true. I am not a city dweller, thank you for you brotherly offer. I have my own farm and looking to acquire my own serfs, preferably other Christian losers that want to escape the hellish urban life, so I can flex on them daily.

Maybe you should go back and read the comment he made in the post.
I did and I agree with it.
So how are you saying that he isn't longing to be serf if he described it as "the life we could live"?
Haha I would load up the entire freezer for you my brother. The guy has a bit of a track record with dramatization for underlying purposes, the way you interpreted it is not the same as he intended it just as I would have interpreted it differently had someone else posted it.
I know, but I agree with this particular point. The Middle Ages were far better than they are depicted in media and history books. People were not shorter or had bad teeth or lived shorter lives. The average lifespan was less than today, but people that made it through early childhood, usually lived healthy long lives. The serf-landlord arangement was better than the debt-ridden existance of today's young generations. The "short-weak people of the past" trope comes from the post-Industrial urbanized worker.
Even if we go further back to late Roman times:
Someone could pick at that but it wouldn't be me and I could break it down to an even more basic concept, a simple life is a much happier existence than how we live today everything else in a potential argument is secondary to that concept for me.
If you asked me what my "dream job" is my answer would be to be a small farmer, when I say that a lot of people look at me like I'm crazy or making a joke.
Oh free, you meant "free life". Yea, most are not and that is all that matters.
Yes, if we use the Pedo-Hollywood version of "serf" you have a point. But I would rather use the real-world experience and not what pedo-Hollywood told us.
Serfs didn't have leaded gasoline, lead in their food, micro plastics in their blood, pollution in their air, contraceptive pills in their water supply and hormones in their meat.
They didn't have seed oils cleaned with bleach giving them brain damage, or fluoride calcifying their pineal gland making their head feel like a rock.
They didn't live in ugly, grey cities with little wildlife and filled with foreigners that hate them and boast about replacing them.
Their doctors had some backwards practices, but herbal medicine was far more effective than the artificial chemicals the pharmaceutical industry churns out to make as much money as possible with endless side effects and high prices.
When Jews raped and ate children, they got kicked out of the country.
Now, when you point out they rape and eat children, you get kicked out of the country.
Or at least you were, but now they are boasting about it live on television.
They also didn't have a pot to piss in... Ate mostly a poor diet, and had all their children living in a 1 room hovel.
Yeah leaches were great. And blood letting was great.
Totally better than life saving neonatal care and medical interventions like open heart surgery or modern medicine.
Wrong. That wasn't Serfs, those were factory workers in the Industrial Age.

Clearly you've never lived with farm animals.... Keeping chickens and cows in the house is a big NO for me dog

what was the average house size for a medieval serf compared to a 2 bedroom apartment
A typical medieval serf's house was significantly smaller and less functional than a modern 2-bedroom apartment, usually consisting of a single room for an entire family (often 12-18 people) that was shared with farm animals in winter. While modern 2-bedroom apartments average around 900–1,200 square feet, medieval peasant homes generally ranged from 200 to 1,000 square feet, with many, particularly "long-houses," falling in the 750–1000 sq ft range.
Medieval Serf House vs. 2-Bedroom Apartment
Average Size (Serf): Usually 200 to 300 square feet for a basic cottage (roughly 12'x16' or 16'x20'). Larger "long-houses" or "villager" homes were 750–1,000 square feet.
Average Size (2-Bed Apt): 900–1,200 square feet (1,097 sq ft in 2024 according to RentCafe).
Space per Person: Extremely low in the middle ages, with large families sharing a single room, sometimes with a loft for sleeping.
Usage: Serf homes included a byre (animal shelter) within the main structure, meaning the living space was not entirely for human habitation.
Key Differences
Structure: Serf homes were typically one-story, one-room structures made of wattle-and-daub, wood, or stone with a thatched roof.
Amenities: No electricity, running water, or chimneys; heating and cooking were done on a central fire pit with smoke escaping through the roof.
Furniture: Very minimal; often just straw beds in a corner or a loft, with most space used for storage and livestock.
In short, a 2-bedroom apartment
