Then I use paper, a luxuriant material of rich academicians and clerks, to clean my rear end in a top hat until the grease is wiped off and contain the whole mess in a basin of the freshest, cleanest water available to man. I hit a lever and the now fouled water is simply dumped into a cistern for the gman to worry about.

The Belgians committed atrocities and killed millions for rubber in The Congo. The Dutch committed atrocities and killed millions for spices in the Indies.

If you read the article the child slavery was at a cocoa farm not owned by any of the companies but they all contracted with it and thus benefited from its crimes.

I feel like a pharoah would have had access to a significantly higher number of concubines than I do.

Even if we don't want to get into the sex crimes of the rich and famous, it's probably worth considering that even if they miss out on modern conveniences, they've still got the aristocratic benefit of servants and skilled professionals tending to their wants and needs. King Louis XIV might not have been able to get takeout from his choice of five continents on a whim, but the food he did have would have been expertly prepared and he didn't have to do any work for it to happen. We win out on raw selection, but he was eating every meal at a five-star restaurant. Also, frankly, don't underestimate the ability of desirable goods to get around back in the old days. The world wasn't anywhere near as connected as it is now, certainly, but you'd better believe the kings and emperors of yore were dining on produce from across the known world.

What matters is the standard with comparison to the times and everyone else within those times. Otherwise owning a car and TV means suddenly your QoL is better than most people even +60-80 years ago. You are all still peasants. Especially the nouveau riche. Sorry.

Oh and what I forgot in my post is that of all these powerful Kings, glorious Potentates, and shining Panjandrums, though they spent every moment of their life cossetted, lavished upon, feared by all, not one of them ever got to make a post on an internet forum. Just by hitting the submit button on this lovely collection of words, I'll have lived a more fulfilling and exciting life than did Charles the Fat and Michael the Drunkard put together.

Of course, we'd be doing infinitely better if capitalism hadn't convinced hundreds of millions of people that working as much as possible was good actually Note also that this is mostly only true if you are living in a western country with a fully modern standard of living, or are at the top of the pyramid in others. There are billions living across the world who, while they might have basic conveniences like store-bought clothes and maybe even indoor plumbing, are fundamentally living lives that their ancestors of 100 or 200 years ago would recognize. They're not casually browsing the food court at a mall for their selection of the delicacies of six continents, they're not browsing the internet all day talking with strangers and watching sex acts that Caligula couldn't have imagined, they're not deciding which combo of their 10 pairs of shoes, 20 pairs of pants, and 30 tops to wear. In fact, chances are that they're living a very hosed life in either the factories that make those things or the farms that produce the inputs for the factories and being paid gently caress near nothing, all so the rest of us can buy a T-Shirt that says "bazinga" on it, wear it twice, then throw it away when the fast fashion meme is passe.

God drat there is a point where absurdist humor meets a point of infinity and implodes He's just SO ANGRY that the new M&M isn't giving him as good a boner as his last. I don't have many pictures on this computer but I did find some old political ones. Here is a picture of me from I think the 2016 Women's March. It's kinda funny. So edgy was I  And here's an awesome kiddo from the same event.

Hyperlynx posted:What's global fusion about nachos? Corn, tomatoes and chili all come from the Americas, and I hear you have plenty of cheese over there too. Beef, chicken, and pork are largely a european introduction. Mesoamerican peasants generally settled for squash and beans with maize to get their proteins, with upper classes having access to fowl, dogs, and peccary (seen as pig-like today but eat one and tell me they are like the pulled pork we make for tex mex).

That’s everything. We can blame capitalism for a lot of problems but “poor people” or “worked to death populace” is kinda built into every system we’ve tried so far. Maybe robots will finally end the need for a working class. We can only hope. Just gotta avoid making terminators.
