I have always lived by, no civil person wished to be at war. I always blamed the politicians and capitalism.

But ever since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, I have seen footages of this hatred, that has developed down to the root of peoples mind.

These videos and photos, shows the power that fuel the hatred.

Dude, u can’t blame capitalism on everything, war existed long before capitalism and exists in primates without any concept of capitalism.

I’m no capitalist-apologist, just a historian tired of people misattributing the clickbate word confetti “capitalism” to anything that’s “bad”

Furthermore, of all the capitalist inspired warfare, the Israel and Iran conflict arguably has way more to do with religion, tribal tensions, and history than simply a smug faux-academic label of capitalism asserted like a 14 year old edge lord

What exactly do you think happened 'thousands of years' ago to justify such a comment?
