Ever faithful Cowbee will tolerate transphobic admins because they’re communist
PieFed is worse than transphobia because it’s anti-communist

It’s all very fascinating. I wouldn’t mind being in a hunter-gatherer society, but I love my technology too much.
i wonder what the turning point was.
I think the crux of what Graeber and Wengrow get at, is that history shows us we can be an agricultural technological society without the unnecessary authoritarianism, hierarchy, or capitalism. This inherent but actively suppressed ability of humanity was demonstrated in Catalonia during the Spanish Civil War. It was the closest we ever got to getting out of the rut we somehow got ourselves into all those thousands of years ago.
