Typical Lemmy experience
I feel like I do this alot, except it’s the Aztec Empire instead of capitalism.
Pre-Columbian American civilizations are incredibly interesting. It’s absurd how far they got without wheels, iron tools or animals like horses and cows. I guess I wouldn’t mind listening about the Aztecs constantly.
Mesoamerican fact of the day:
The wheel was actually known to Mesoamerica pre-European contact. Archeological finds included toys, food preparation tools, seal rollers, and spindle whorls for textile making.
I’m a history nerd and Mesoamerica is quality content.
Their secret was murdering their children to win the favour of their gods.
For Tlaloc only ones born on lucky days.
The global economy is the reason I can’t take civilization seriously, or even be on its side.
All I can do is appreciate the morbid gallows humor of it.
Billions of people self-flagellating on the false promises of a few thousand capitalist sociopath families. We were conquered by the modern contemporaries of the traveling snake oil salesmen of old. They’ve got most of the peasants so fucking snowed they don’t even have to run away to the next county after they poison you anymore 🤣

I was gonna reply with “Sometimes the issue is racism”, but then I remembered a large part of the racism also goes back to capitalism.
