"The village is peaceful, clean, and friendly; everyone knows everyone else. People there stick together through thick and through thin. There is no stealing in the village or countryside; everyone knows everyone else. One takes into account the reputation of his family, his tribe, and himself before doing anything that might cause harm. Any bad deed committed there does not end on the same day, as in the city, where crimes are often committed against people not known by the criminal, since there are so many people of different types and kinds there. It does not even end when it ends, but lingers on with its family, its group, its tribe, for the remaining groups and tribes, constituting a permanent disgrace for the one who committed it. This social deterrent is stronger than any civil law or city police force. Moreover, social solidarity and networks in the countryside and village take care of the needs of the needy, and prevent them from having to beg or steal. Rural life is simple, humble, and satisfying, far removed from the desires and luxuries of city life. A village-dweller does not feel the need for these silly desires which city dwellers do. The village and the countryside do not know fads and fashion; they are of calm and peaceful temperament, and are not about to change. Villagers do not suffer from tension and complexities, or lusting after wealth. Thus, their lives are calm and easy, innocent of any pains of desire.
These desires are, of course, enjoyable in and of themselves, but they are preceded and followed by many pains and troubles. They are the pains of wanting to obtain something unnecessary, precisely because it is desired. In fact, harvesting and plowing for the sake of one's daily bread and planting trees and picking their fruit to eat are necessary things. At the least, the work that precedes them does not cause psychological anguish; rather, it is enjoyable labour because it is righteous and truly necessary. No regret either follows or precedes this work; instead, it is preceded by joyous hopes of achievement and satisfaction after the fact."
Of course this only works for civilized people.
But do you think you would be blackpilled if you lived in a village plowing fields in 1910?
Interesting how many of (((history's))) villains are incredibly agreeable
