“the alternative is primitive tribal life” is classic Capitalist propaganda.
You’re absolutely right though, we have progressed incredibly far. It’s almost as if we have all the knowledge and tools to build a truly inclusive society that provides a dignified standard of living for all people, yet there are stubborn and powerful groups interested in maintaining economic heirarchies and exploiting biases for political gain…

We can have a functional society without rampant capitalism controlling everything if we all really wanted it enough. The idea that it’s “capitalism or stone-age tribalism” is a false dichotomy that reactionaries who hate authority push. Mommy can’t hurt you anymore. It will be okay.

But to speak to the condescension: only a lazy, entitled, pathetically obtuse Westerner would have the gall to say everything is okay while your people’s institutions kill the Earth. Hopefully enough of you will die without children and we can rebuild the world without the toxicity of Western Christians.

You sound legitimately insane and dangerous and weird, I hope you have a healthy, rewarding life because I’m not psychotic, I don’t wish death on anyone, and I’m not insane, I just don’t want you as a neighbor. I won’t see your unhinged reply.

I don’t think you realize that I am agreeing with you.

I don’t think you know how to make the twisted voices in your head form a coherent statement on the internet and you’re just using this platform to scream into the voice. Go get ChatGTP or something, it makes a much better interactive diary.
