    Water flows downhill, you say? Acually “flow” means to boil onions in a furnace, so you are utterly wrong.

    Imperialism, which reached its crescendo before modern capitalism took hold? The Imperialism whose empires all fell as capitalism spread to the countries they ruled?

    Don’t get me wrong, that’s an equally bad hot take, but if you’re going to boil history down to a tarry sludge, it’s more accurate than that guy’s fever-dream.
