          Holy shit, this one reply you got is quite possibly the dumbest thing I've ever read lmao

          What you call a ‘Process of Material Reality’ could as easily be called G*d or the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

            I had to log off, I was getting genuinely upset. It doesn't get better, they get even worse

            On the other hand... tagline?

            Here it is:

            "When could we have voted for a 90% tax rate?"

            Eisenhower's presidency did see some tax rates above 90%, but that figure only applied to the individual income taxes of top earners. For married people filing jointly in 1953, for example, any income above $200,000 was taxed at 90%, above $300,000 at 91%, and above $400,000 at 92%.

            For someone who claims to know a lot about history, you sure are short on facts.

            And if history is a 'physical process' post some pictures of it working. Not pictures of people doing things, because that would prove my point. A discrete physical embodiment of history, please.

                If I'm being generous, I legitimately think they just have no clue what I am getting at by trying to baby step them through Historical Materislism, and can't fathom the idea that Great Man Theory is wrong.

                They're so cooked I walked away, it was beyond medium-rare, beyond well-done, call that congratulations.

              And if climate change is a 'physical process' post some pictures of it working. Not pictures of extreme weather events happening, because that would prove my point. A discrete physical embodiment of climate change, please.
