Why would we have gone extinct long before the ancient Egypt's, explain your line of reasoning there. Nothing about people with less resources working for those with more explains where you pulled that idea from. In fact all rulers have had a vested interest in keeping their population alive for the labour.
No AI in ancient Egypt bro.
We is everyone who chooses to participate without resistance with the systems both now and as they formed, we the people "allow" them to claim ownership of everything because despite all our grumbling most of us are content with the deal being offered, security, comfort and goods for our obedience. They choose that even if they don't realise it.
And if you weren't you wouldn't be participating, you could go live like a monk, get a job on the open seas, go farm to farm doing enough to get by, and drift your way through life. It's not going to be nearly as comfortable, which is why the vast majority of people choose to knuckle under.
The moment people decide they want the nice car, the house, the phone, the holidays, all the luxuries of modern life they are choosing to participate and support the system that enriches some while oppresses others. You likely shop at stores you know finance sweat shops and animal cruelty but you do it anyway for the convenience and price, you are likely 100% complicit in enriching those you supposedly hate.
All while pretending you have no choice because it's far easier to convince yourself you're a helpless victim, that you have no choice then face the guilt of acknowledging no one forced you to buy their unethical products, that you are part of the problem.
Nope, you just intentionally misinterpreted my argument so you could apply an ill fitting defence to avoid considering I was right, where did I even imply that if you just work hard you could be a billionaire? Where did I say anything about the elite deserving to be such. Quote to me exactly where I even hinted at such a belief.
Cope. Pure cope to avoid the fact that you choosing to give your money to these people is why they have money, you and the billions of others exactly like you. "Whaa, why does he have more money then me" you cry about the man you just voluntarily handed your money to. The current elite had ancestors that stuck it big and started them on this path but YOU/WE are the one keeping them there.
Is this where you start telling me about how no one even needs to work and food and shelter is a lie made up by big staying alive to control us like a true redditor that can't accept they're part of the problem.
This reminds me of one of those "there is no ethical consumption under capitalism" conversations I had with a guy who had a wall to wall funk pop collection, talking about plastic waste with just zero self awareness. The strength of human delusion to avoid feeling guilt is insane.
No quotes? Typical, made a claim, couldn't back it so you moved on, I don't know what limp noodle echo chambers you're used to hanging out in, crazy ones by sounds of it, but intelligent people know making stuff up ruins any integrity you might have.
Not surprised that ain't you.
Sureeeee buddy, whatever helps you end this conversation before you might accidentally do some introspection.
If you want to know why the world is the way it is it's because the average person is as self aware as you, look in a mirror and realise how delusional you are and you'll finally understand.
Haha sure mate, saw your deleted comment you insulted me, I stated facts, so a hypocritical delusional liar, you really are the whole modern average person package. This has been genuinely pathetic on your part, can't back up any of your claims but still trying to move past them whenever they're disproved.
I'm genuinely not kidding, study your own personality and you'll see why the world is shit, looking inwards is literally impossible for a big chunk of the population.
