I don't understand people who say we live in incredible times or that the world is getting better (pedophile morons like Steven Pinker, to put it mildly).
This image. This aberration to the eye. This is how 50-80% of the population lives in the most powerful and richest nation on the planet (or at least close to/similar to this).
This is the "pinnacle" of 6,000 years of recorded civilizational history. If this is how the majority of the US population lives, imagine how poor and miserable the majority of humanity really is.
If it weren't for East Asia, the world would be even worse.

Humans are a slave-species

now, compare THIS to 1910s slums, and I am not talking about war-torn cities - just slums. The stench. The diet. The biohazards!

The only reason we haven't returned to those levels of human decadence is because of cheap Asian manufacturing.

My response to everyone that says 'just work for amazon or walmart' was always disgust. And it's always the same people that never had to work retail or warehouse jobs - they shop there, like the lower prices, but are blind to the harm caused to save $0.14 on that bottle of glass cleaner.
