...thinking they can get gibs because of classical culture - not how it works - although that's kinda the problem everywhere in the West, thinking there is some sort of bed of laurels to lounge on because of the achievements of previous generations.
The myth of tribal utopia is from the Marxist school of bullshit
- tribal structure was communist, but it was no utopia... tribes thought nothing of genociding each other over a grudge or convenience.
The communism was self-contained within each tribe, and each tribe member had to serve a useful function or face banishment.
yeah, it was communism inasmuch that it was based around the community with a sharing of resources, but there were social structures ranging from chiefs to slaves (slaves usually sign of agriculture, not nomads).
I'll respectfully disagree - sure they traded, but there was no fundamental right to property ownership - means of production was nevertheless directed by the chief and tribal members couldn't really argue their assigned place.
yes, also depends when we're talking... 10,000 BC is going to be different from 1600 AD
Also, as soon as you're talking about several tribes, there's no guarantee that they were all the same - this is assumed for convenience.
- Specialisation probably reduced conflict e.g. fishermen would not be hunting same buffalo herd as the tribe next door
- so if multiple tribes developed exclusive specialisations, it would minimise risk of genocide and the entire trade network should be seen more akin to how city states worked.
getting funding from your fans is nothing new. all patreon did do was making it a little easy for a hefty fee. But at time did pass on they did go around and did borrow insane amount of money for some reason and now the people that did borrow them the money is waning it back. but as they did at the same time go woke and is kicking the wrong thinkers off it site the money coming in is drying up. and after the last week with people not getting any money and patron says, you can have some money in advance it will just cost you 20% of your donation instead of the "normal" 10%
it like your bank refusing to pay you your pay check on time because of "problems" but if you just pay them a extra fee they will fix it for you or you can just wait until we get to it. it may take a week or two extra. it a sure sign that they have no more money left to keep the operation going and if you did have a patron I had recommended you look for a new solution
and from some reports they are looking at making new creators on patron sign contracts that will make patron the owner of the creators things that he funds via patron, something that will kill them in a instant if they do
