    Old believes tend to be better.

    slavery is ok.

    black people are animals.

    woman aren’t human.

    Jews are scum.

    gays are corrupted.

    it’s ok to marry a 10 year old child.


    are these all better?

      First of all “tend to be” and also they are not that old believes for the most part. You have to keep in mind that for most of human history we have been hunter gatherers and they did not practise slavery for the most part. They would also understand that black people, as human beings are animals, but that women are humans. Jews are pretty new anyway. Gays would have been mostly seen as natural(it actually has a lot of history of being seen that way)

        “Erm actually when I say old I ean hunter-gatherers” is kind of a cop out lol

        Let’s narrow it to “when writing exists” for our history and go from there.

          Even if you do that, you still have modern ideas destroying the entire planet to the point that it becomes unlivable for humans. Only modern capitalist society, has ever even come close to that.

          Australia, a good bit of the Americas and Africa, northern Asia and a bunch of other places were settled by hunter gathers only as late as 600years ago. Some even remain today and we are actually studying them.
