1 year agoI think a decent amount of this can be explained by that Settlers was originally published in 1983. A lot of these 'luxuries' had really only come into prominence throughout the 20 years before that, and the white flight suburbia car hell project was just coming into its stride.
And I definitely took it as its not that these things are 'bad', bourgeoisie 'luxuries', etc. But to highlight the shear amount of extra wealth that was concentrated into the American labor aristocracy- in comparison to the rest of the world.
Maybe a chance if they didn't invade the SU, but that was also like 75% of his political platform.
