Im not aware of any hunter/gatherer tribes that stayed as such after acquiring the knowledge of agriculture and animal husbandry. Also the great respect for animals typically associated with native americans suggests, to me, that they did it to survive and not out of joy, though they may have been proud when conquering a huge beast.

Feel free to point me to some contradictory examples. Im pretty dumb with the history.

Limited capitalism really is the best system if your looking at whatever generates the most happiness, structure and access to resources that they don't have to constantly create themselves (electricity, access to real-time information from across the world, entertainment, supermarkets, etc). Highest standard of living and stability, gg no re.

Anarchy or even some small-scale form of communism could be fun and all, but people will get sick of them real quick if everyone has to go back to toiling away 20+ hours a day on the farm and don't have easy access to the conveniences of modern life.

In that sense, large-scale automation of everything in the future might end up being a blessing. Scarcity in a lot of respects would disappear and at that point you wouldn't need capitalism to provide that umbrella/ecosystem I described above.

'Tommy Robinson' banned from Facebook and Instagram

And in the brief time he had before his accounts disappeared, he posted an Insta video scrounging and begging for peoples money

I am thankful for my two further 'Tommy'-free channels, where I am not reminded of this ****ing cretinous scumbags existence.

That India/Pakistan sh*t is scary as hell. It's getting overshadowed by the Cohen testimony. Huge news day.

I'm more interested in what Cohen did with the millions he was paid from all his "consulting" clients (like AT&T and the Saudis) who wanted to know "Trump's mind" and then got absolutely nothing in return. All without telling his boss of course.

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie pop? I guess we'll never know....

You're honestly more interested in that than our president potentially committing multiple crimes?
