Most people in capitalist countries never leave the economic bracket they were born into. Capitalism is a primitive system of elites and peasants, filled with squalor and death.

    my favorite story about human nature is when the Spanish (who didn’t bathe because of human nature) thought that people were burning incense to praise them as gods, but it was actually because they smelled like a butt hole. nahuas and their neighbors had universal education AND hygiene AND high living standards.

    but I can’t argue with human nature, the Americas aren’t full of historical counterfactuals at all.
