But we all know the religious cant help themselves. They’d travel across the galaxy to make their delusions your reality

That’s capitalism, Clyde - not religion. Unstick your head out of your arrse and stop confusing your own farts for reality, okay?
Hey clod, religion pre-dates capitalism by thousands of years, but go on telling me how my head is in my ass.
Aaaaaand?
He’s saying the dark ages were painful
And the ages before and after weren’t?
Im pretty sure feudalism is worse
Worse for whom?
For most of the population of a country using that system
Oh, I don’t know about that… I’d say that feudalist peasants would be rather terrified of our thoroughly unstable liberal boom-and-bust cycles.
And you conveniently forget that feudal peoples (and non-feudal peoples) all over the world had to be violently brutalised into accepting liberal economic realities… so there’s that.
Your first point I can agree with but your second point shows your ignorance.
Really, Clyde? Is the 300-hundred (and counting) years of mass-slaughter, mass-rape and mass-torture perpetrated by the west on the rest of the world “alt-history” to you now?
No surprises, I guess.
Honestly, I mostly see capitalism as a religion. It provides a narrative about the meaning of life. It provides rules that it’s followers should adhere to. It provides goals, restrictions, and social orders. It defines it’s own ethics, worldviews, texts, doctrines, and priorities.
Fair enough, I guess.
