Take Iran, for instance. Iran absolutely got fucked over by the US, probably more so than anyone. Technology has unfortunately made it more possible than ever to maintain a surveillance state. I’m not optimistic that Iran ever becomes free But my family has fled to Armenia and while I have not been there a lot, my wife and daughter have in the course of seeing my family get settled. Anyway, you’d be amazed to see the progress that has been made as the country has gone from patronage to valuing rule of law and individual rights I’d elaborate, but I’m not an expert on Armenia, I just know that despite being dirt poor, it’s noteworthy that large numbers of people are fleeing Iran and Russia for Yerevan. I would also remind you that while our market system and government tends to take the things bankers say at face value, we can absolutely create rule of law and free markets without accepting nonsense from the people least integral to our economic success.

I probably come off as pessimistic because I am critical of capitalism, but the fact that I have massive advantages compared to both existing people and long-dead ones is not lost on me. It's the internet, it's mostly used to complain. I learned in church the other day about 'toxic positivity' and boy oh boy did that one hit me in the stomach. | |||
