its the tonal part thats extremely funny

in the story, capitalism has to come along and gently caress everything up

but feudalism (and really the entire history of humanity) was a loving nightmare, so they have to say things like "capitalism, which started in 18th century england, spread imperialism and slavery"

I feel like the implication isn't that feudalism is good, just that capitalism fundamentally altered the way of life, which despite being feudalism, was more communal and not based on competition between poor people for crappy jobs.

i used to (& probably still do lol ask me about getting mad at bread dough before i figured it out) struggle a lot with not being able to move past facile explanations because, while i was able to recognize them for their inadequacies and dismiss them for not getting to the heart of whatever matter, it turns out superficial simplifications are often helpful & even necessary to fully grasp before moving into the deeper grays of Well, Actuallys

so anyway i was randomly reading a New York magazine article from 1986 about mobbed-up city government officials and i found this little tidbit (emphasis added):


~~~

For example, the Manhattan district attorney's office is examining the connection between one of [Bronx Democratic leader Stanley] Friedman's top aides, Bronx City Planning commissioner Theodore E. Teah, and Robert Hopkins, a mob policy operator charged last month with ordering the murder of a mob rival. Teah, a former employee of Roy Cohn's law firm, was Hopkins's lawyer. After the revelations about Hopkins came out, Teah said he was "aghast" to learn of the murder charge and of his client's reputed mob ties.

Investigators for Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau, however, say that Hopkins's reputation as a mob policy operator was widely known in the city. Hopkins himself is hard to miss. He stands six feet five inches tall and weighs 250 pounds. He fancies himself a rock star and once rented the Palladium for $15,000 to throw a party for J. J. Jackson, an MTV V.J. He tipped disco doormen with Cartier watches. And he shared a $2-million, fifty-ninth- and sixtieth-floor duplex at Trump Tower with the son-in-law of Lucchese crime-family soldier Peter "Petey Beck" DiPalermo.

dum diversas gave the portugese papal carte blanche to colonialize and enslave anywhere in the world as long as it was against pagans or saracens, but it was in the 1400s so i guess it was a communal thing and somehow not as bad as it sounds

the black people shipped off to brazil in chains prior to the year 1701 were super happy about it but those who came later were sad
