    What the fuck is a peasant with literally the clothes on their back and nothing else doing with all this “leisure time” anyway?

    Ya fucking deluded.

      You’re so right, the consensus of actual historians is meaningless now

      Peasants had at least a couple changes of clothes, plus the Sunday and festivities clothes.

      Also don’t forget that salmon for dinner didn’t catch itself, you either spend the time, or it’s lobster night again. And better remember to get some flour to the baker to get some bread made for the family, or it’s lobster with month old moldy bread. Better hope the chickens lay some eggs for breakfast.
