“Late-stage capitalism” is now over 150 years old. The odds it is ending soon are quite long. The problems mentioned? They or other problems were around 10, 20, 50, 100… years ago too.
People elected Trump because they had “… fallen victim to a sophisticated information war that functions as a kind of political mind control.”? The sophisticated information war was run against that clown, and it spend way more money better than the mouth did.
“ Anthropologists who study hunter-gatherer societies have long known that they are all egalitarian. Bullies and dictators were not able to rise up and boss people around because the group sanctioned against it.”?
Well, they can’t rise very high since everybody is dead broke and you can’t steal much or they starve. But there have been bullies and dictators longer than there have been humans. That the bullies are dirt-poor too doesn’t mean there are none, just that they can’t steal what doesn’t exist.
Back to school, maybe to unlearn what you have mislearned before.
