In the old days as long as you did your job, didn't preach any blasphemy or heresy, and didn't commit any sexual sins. Nobody cared if you were "mentally ill" or "autistic" or judged you for it. Mental illness didn't exist as a concept. It was called being human. A great deal of discrimination against people who are perceived to be mentally ill is a result of the Industrial Revolution, capitalism, and the creation of the "extrovert ideal".

>Life is all about change, growth, entrepreneurship, upward mobility, GDP growth, and innovation bro. It's part of our human nature. Individual responsibility.

Where did this meme come from? 99% of humanity's existence has been mostly stagnant, the idea of the "individual" was largely nonexistent, and the word "career" didn't even exist until the 1800s.

The concept of specialization and accumulating wealth certainly did exist before the Industrial Revolution. I'd say you're romanticizing a past you know little about. As for the meme, it came from people trying to improve their conditions. It often fails because of governance and factors outside of their control, but that's where it came from if you wanted to know.

Half your crops you harvest go to the noble handling your territory, leaving you to usually be near starvation. You can't leave the village without permissions, and you can't not do back breaking labor unless you want to be outcast / killed. You live in a world of bad food, no real entertainment, living in a small house with multiple families, no drawing, no painting, no reading, no nothing.

Sounds fun

every village had a few village idiots that were used as punching bags by the community

autists and mentally ill people would be indicted for being heretics

We were the norm for most of history. You Satanic extrovert faggots were created by capitalism and are pretending you're "natural" and we're the diseased ones.

There are 2 fundamental realities of modernity that have never happened to humans before
1) Wide accessibility or reliable healthcare
2) The idea of perpetual mobility. Something has to constantly happen. Something has to be constantly produced. If you become static, settled it is seen as good as death.

Whats crazy to think is that for the 99% of existence of humanity if you brought shit like this up people would think that you are legitimately retarded because those things simply didnt exist. People lived their whole lives not even knowing that professional doctors or lifegoals exist.

forget all that
no skyscrapers, no smog, no acid rain, no ozone depletion, no oil or plastic in the ocean, fish and wildlife are teeming because there's not 9 billion retards overfishing and hunting them to exctinction, no cars and other metal death machines everywhere, no social media psychosis, no surveillance, no cancel culture, no gay laws preventing a man from owning a house or deciding what goes on in it
