Priory_of_Sion Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Don't look our ethnic cleansing of the Shia, war crimes in Yemen, mass executions of political dissidents, and funding of jihadism around the world, instead look at how we've become slightly less misogynist!

I'm extrapolating from his conclusion (growing inequality means that more countries will be like whereever-he-was) to the sad idea that the most awful (YMMV) of the middle eastern petro-autocracies is also the most vivid snapshot of our future.

You have a pretty pessimistic view of the diversity of human culture if you think that awfulness tends to converge, rather than producing manifold local variations on the theme of awfulness. What if large swathes of the future are like North Korea or Eritrea or Equatorial Guinea instead? I don't think we're headed for a drab, uniform future that sucks. I'm optimistic that we're headed for a future that will feature many different kinds of suck. Jeeps_Guns_Tanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
