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 22 hours ago

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

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).
