I reckon more than a few people there would be incentivised to play catch up and start avery fast paced industrial revolution.
Certain advancements were only enabled because of catastrophe and that the surviving population rebounded. Had Old World diseases not struck the New World, I reckon a plague would’ve hit at some point anyhow.
Corporate Serfs is the word you may be looking for
Kleptocracy in motion. That’s what it is.
And depending on who you ask, most keep an eyepatch and pirate hat always on standby for these kind of things.
Many are going to get put off by the inevitable 2000 dollar price tag and decide to build a half decent old PC rig for pirate games.
Today it’s games and movies. Tomorrow it’s something actually important and they’ll rent us an apology for a terminal illness and nothing else.
Riding with the peasantry class? Never!
Ask the rich. They’re delusions of control are more important than the reality they actually live in.
They run Superman ragged with these orders. Poor Clark can’t catch a break flying shelf-to-shelf.
They call it White Guilt and still spin the narrative to blame non-Europeans and especially non-Anglos, I believe.
You can’t really reason with a raider. He will only understand force.
Coming from the same land that got away with starving both Ireland and India, that’s rich.
This is just the human experience in a shellnut.
First came the nomads and isolated communities, who formed the first towns and societies.
Then, the towns became cities and the societies became stratified for order and efficiency.
Then, the elders become kings and lords, and they become disconnected from the earth and reality.
In time, the ambition of the high ones grow too big for their own good, whilst those below lose their sense of self-reasoning and communing.
Eventually, the house of cards falls like all Babylons before it.
All is lost, people scatter, and people gather elsewhere.
Not really, such things have unfolded a hundred times over in history, it’s pretty much prophetic.
Men like Trump pave the way for real dictators who in return pave the way for emperors who in turn pave the way for tombstones.
I’m just saying, the Iranian war song, ‘The World is preparing for another World War’ is absolute BARS and basically spells out that Iran isn’t pulling back from doxxing EVERYONE involved in this war.
Sarcasm:
But think of the insurance people! Look at how many insurances are waiting to be denied and robbed!
More importantly, we can justify every other profit increase, because our economies are built on literal exploitation just as they did a couple hundred years prior!
Modern exploiting problems require modern idol solutions.
Materialists are showing the inherent self-destructiveness of their ideology
Too much effort for an American. No one is paying them enough to skip a day of work.
Sarcasm:
Think of the starving shareholders!
Would get public support by 2 percent if he did so
Sometimes…
People die when they are killed. That’s the way things should be.
The Black Plague was first recorded 1330s in China long before it began its migration to the West. However, you were right in the aspect that China in general had a strong administrative and bureaucratic base which allows coordinating disaster relief efforts.
Plus, the advantage of having rice means they could afford to feed citizenry very well in most cases.
Also, China as we know it today didn’t exactly exist, but it’s better to understand and obeserve the various polities that came and went during the centuries. Each would have different circumstances and administrative power in combating disasters as they happened.
