    The man’s talking about class differences in general though. Pretty sure those predate us apes even knowing there were other different colored troops.

    Either way it kind of feels like a bit of a chicken and egg discussion. Were we hierarchical animals first, then leveraged arbitrary and irrelevant traits to enforce that hierarchy, or vice versa.

    To me it’s really simple. You adress class issues -> you adress “culture war” issues (those disproportionally impacted get disproportionately addressed, as they should be). You address “culture war” issues -> shitshow ensues.

    I know what I’m gonna focus on.




  • No one is arguing any of the points above. But to quote the Wikipedia article:

    While many developments failed to live up to initial lofty promises, most of them eventually became occupied when given enough time.[6][16]

    Citation 16 is a Bloomberg article from 2 years ago in case you’re wondering.

    Put yourself in my shoes, I can’t exactly propose edits to that statement based on a single youtube video of a ghost town existing.

    Your conclusion ("How could they? ") does not follow from your premises, much as I agree with them.
