    no exploitation is a ‘differing level of exploitation’

    You’re claiming there have been human societies with an absence of exploitation? And you have sources to back up your claim?

      That’s why all we have are systems of elites and peasants, filled with squalor and death.

      Nothing will convince you because you are filled with hate for fellow humans, and you like being that way.

        I only consider input by people who share the same beliefs as me (of humans being happy little faries who do no wrong).

        Do you realize you’re building your personal echo chamber?

          Please indicate the input that is so valuable that I am missing out on by disregarding the words of a misanthrope?

            That perhaps one should consider non-utopian images of humans when discussing systems present in society.

                  I do not accept humans are static. Much research on human societies shows that behavior and culture are founded in material conditions and environment. These can change, as they have throughout human history.

                  But you don’t want to think about any of the realities.

                    behavior and culture are founded in material conditions and environment

                    What is that even supposed to mean? Like yes, people have always existend in an environment centered around material resources. Food being a material resource, for example.

                    But you don’t want to think about any of the realities.

                    I assume that by “any of the realities” you mean “other perspectives” or “other ideologies” here.

                    I do want to think about other perspectives and ideologies.

                    But I also allow myself to criticize them.

                    I especially allow myself to criticize people who try to prevent others from telling their perspectives, for example by calling them a misanthrope in a demeaning manner.
