Maybe the problem is the existence of big companies then. IP didn’t exist as an idea until the 19th century, and humanity made plenty of progress between that and hunting-gathering.

There is no such thing as toxic masculinity

I beg to differ. I’ve been self-repressed for many years from speaking about my problems with my close ones because of toxic aspects of the social understanding of masculinity that I absorbed.

Embargos, particularly those aimed at economically vulnerable nations like Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, and North Korea, serve no useful purpose

That depends on your point of view. The point of view of US lawmakers is that, by forcing people into “hunger and desperation” (quoting them) through imposed economic violence, they’ll bring about a change of regime. Of course, that’s absolutely disgusting, but it does serve a purpose, which in many instances worked (deposition of Mosaddeq in Iran, sanctions to Chile’s Allende…). I just disagree with the methodology and the purpose because I’m not Satan, unlike US policymakers.
