Ironic

More finding out please. Like 50 orders of magnitude more.

Stop mandating vaccines but get them anyways

Too bad, so sad.
Well, anyway...

I mean, they voted against their own interests as far as health care is concerned. A rare show of consistency.

Hunter gatherers also had "socialist" lifestyles

That view may be outdated. I'm reading David Graeber's and David Wengrow's "The Dawn of Everything" where they review anthropological and archaeological evidence and argue that human societies were always very varied.

E.g. they show that this idea you cited came from contact with just three hunter-gatherer societies who already have had contact with western societies and at least one of them was started by a group of runaway slaves. Their egalitarianism was probably a reaction to western authoritarianism.

On the other hand they look at two indigenous societies on the north american west coast. Thos in today's california were very individualist, valued personal wealth (when achieved through hard work and frugality) but hated slavery and had no rulers. Those more to the north were notorious slavers, had an aristocracy and a member of that aristocracy was considered superior if he organized the most wasteful parties.

A point they made at that point was that not only are hunter-gatherer societies not all the same, they might actually have developed important parts of their culture, including egalitarianism vs. authoritarianism in an attempt to be as different as possible from their neighbors they don't like.

In the following chapter they then go on that the first cities in the middle east show no signs of hierarchy, including a patriarchy, and that patriarchy and a warrior aristocracy developed in that region as an answer to these egalitarian, rich cities widening their influence (trade networks, but also colonies). :(

Is this from a show? Id like to know which if so
