I'm curious Dead which time in history or what powerful nations ever had it worked out where there was general peace and the fruits of prosperity were shared fairly? What is the benchmark to compare against, or is it just an idealized vision of what could or should be?
History is a fucking bloodbath, the powerful have always run roughshod, and if you actually look at objective measures the post war era has brought unprecedented levels of peace (absolutely irrefutable) and prosperity. Not to mention revolutions in technology and the spread of liberal ideals.
Sure there are depravities of wealth and abuse of power and on and on, but when and where was it not much worse? We are living in a golden age, unfortunately part of the human condition is that we lack perspective to fully understand that fact.
Also, western capitalists did not cause the war in Ukraine. Putin the psychotic despot is solely responsible.
