10·2 年前Fantastic video! Do keep in mind however, that Thunderf00t is a very socially and economically conservative person of which you should watch with caution. I mostly keep to watching his Elon dunk videos and his pseudo-scientific-Kickstarter de-legitimizing videos.
100%, to go out and touch grass on occasion really helps keep the depressive states at bay.
Welcome back! Glad to see how much better your doing.

6·2 年前China’s take on the Japanese government’s handling of the situation, largely due to some of the isotopes they haven’t filtered out. Particularly the strontium, iodine, and carbon variants. These have leaked into said wastewater due to the meltdown in several of Fukushima’s reactors.

Late Stage Capitalism@lemmygrad.ml•Paystub from a US coal miner in 1942. Ends up owing his employer $1.84 ($35.76 in 2023) at the end of the pay period.English
4·2 年前Thank you for your response! Yes, it is true that the States were limited to the east coast initially, though it took so little time to expand westward that I opted to omit it for conciseness of the text. However, as this did play a vital role in their expansionary mentality, and the brutality that the states would show to their fellow human beings, I realize now I should not have excluded it. Especially given how they were constantly rewarded for their effort to eradicate the natives with land, slaves, and resources.

241·2 年前Didn’t capitalism start 300-400 years ago? If I remember correctly, capitalism was born of the imperial nations of Europe (primarily Great Britain, France, and Spain), as private capital, now unrestricted from the guilds as under feudalism, expanded for increased control of their respective markets.
The United States, started only slightly after the major imperial powers of its day. In addition, it’s geography blessed it with weak neighbors to the north and south, and fish to the east and west, allowing it to develop almost entirely unhindered from the risk of war destroying it’s means of production. Furthermore, property rights were enshrined in its very constitution from start due to its status as one of the world’s first a bourgeois democracies (widely believed to be the ideal circumstances for the development of capitalism). As such, the United States had one of the most mature capitalist economies in the world by this point. Even at this point it’s form of capitalism is probably more mature than many capitalist nations in the third world are currently.
In all likelihood, the course of capitalism in the United States was reversed somewhat by a combination of anti-monopolistic legislation, an end to its pre-worldwar isolationist policies, and the introduction of new markets in the world economy due to need for many nations to rebuild after World War Two. As such, I think it reasonable to call this a consequence of a 1940s late stage capitalist economy.
Please note: The United States did not start out spanning the entire continent, but rather got their though roughly a century of brutal westward expansion and genocide. I apologize for my omission of this information.
