ngl posting comments from the orange site is kinda cheating bcz of the sheer abundance of cringe there
This dumbass comment was in reply to this also dumbass comment:
There was a short window of time (anthropological scale) in the western world where this was seemingly true. The American conservative propaganda latched onto it and tricked people into thinking it was true. The fact is whenever quick upward mobility has been possible anywhere [emphasis mine lmao] for a large number of people, it has been built upon slavery, colonialism and/or cheap imported labour. It was someone else’s hard work that was the real source of abundance and hence upward mobility. “Hard work can’t guarantee better life” is more the norm than the exception.

westernoids cannot imagine a world where one can win not at the expense of others
also the top reply (in the screenshot) is blatantly false
one must only compare the poorest regions of china and europe to see how false it is (the poorest regions of china are much better)
