It's stunning how many people seem to forget that there are other countries on the planet that use dollars and weren't involved in Vietnam. No, I'm not making an assumption. The person who posted this is Canadian.

Y'all really need to take a step back and reflect a little bit.

You have to be at least middle class and "white"/seen as the dominant demographic for this to work out. Just like every other place and time period.

What 'place' are we actually talking about here?

[-] jsomae@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago

middle class constraint can be relaxed for hunter-gatherer societies.

[-] SCmSTR 1 points 1 day ago

Could one feasibly claim that the less hunter-gatherer we are, the less egalitarian we are, societally?

I've heard it claimed social stratification didn't really start happening until agriculture; that's when you see many small residential structures and a few large ones. On the other hand, it allowed for specialization and the pursuit of arts and sciences (at least for the elite).

I mean okay but this person would've been a young adult during the Vietnam war and the war on drugs and died at 53 to avoid the war on terror.

Life for seniors is ok. About to get a tax break on SS benefits. Would be 78 this year. Possible to get another 12 years of senior benefits. Trump was born that year, so things can work out past 2001.

The bio of old television personalities is always that they took a wrong turn into the BBC reception and got hired on the spot.

Impress them with a firm handshake.
