Funny how they're so common among human cultures then, almost like it stems from the same evolutionary source regardless of culture.

lol the word "almost" is doing a hell of a job here

common is not at all the same thing as universal, let alone evidence of stemming from an evolutionary source.

there are in fact huge numbers of humans who are not homophobic or transphobic, and there have been radically different views about sexuality and gender across different cultures and in different periods of history

It's common, but it's not universal. There's nothing innate about specific prejudices like homophobia or transphobia

Money is the root of all evil and all of my problems.
You need to listen to me and look at me when I tell you, loudly, that money is evil.
I hate money and the terrible things it causes for the poor, the corruption in society, and how the rich inherently and constantly lord their wealth over others.

Bartering, of course, is natural, and shouldn't be looked down on, it's the free exchange of goods, but once that drive to create currency kicks in, like it always does, well..
Let me tell you how every single human society always has or develops currency and how that must be a genetic trait of humans to do so therefor it's our very nature to use currency and be evil.
But not me.
I noticed it. I saw this. Please look at me and how I'm shouldering the burden of this knowledge that I made up to explain why everyone's bad except me.

That sounds like a failure to consider all the possibilities. Stop listening to jorp, he doesn't have any expertise in the areas he writes about and people who do can give you a lot of reasons why he's wrong
