@jenniferplusplus@hachyderm.io People do not seem to get that for the majority of people living through it, the industrial revolution was a terrible time to be alive - and remained so until a series of revolts, revolutions, and labour movements - most of which ended up in armed conflicts - FORCED the capitalists to treat workers better. Prior to that, most people were better off staying in their agrarian villages, rather than die broke and miserable in a preventable industrial accident.
