Either way fudalism 2.0 still did bring up our standard of living significantly. That's just a fact
It's kind of troubling to me the reluctance to even acknowledge basic history cause it doesn't gel with ideology.

Just like socialism is to be a liberating force in comparison to capitalism

what circles are you running in where it's taboo to praise capitalism?
only this website tbh

But basically my point is that you should pick your battles.

Capitalism and democracy are the most destructive political forces the world has ever known.

Capitalism is usually pretty good if you are on Top, and can exploit someone
Again, you're wrong. The industrial revolution improved the standard of living for an average person.

Lucem, you're right, it's silly to talk about what I would or wouldn't do IRL. Glad you brought it up. Maybe you should write an instrumental about it. I recommend a piano paired with a clarinet. With ambient sounds of you hanging from your shower curtain you ****ing failure.

Art Is Dead. Buy My ****.
