Instead of saying that we are living in "late stage capitalism," what is something positive we could we say we are living in the early, or pre, stages of?
I'm tired of critiquing the current failed system & dreaming of what will replace it.
Positive answers only please. Snark and humor not welcomed in response to this post.
There's a lot of (bad) #AmericanExceptionalism around food, such as not having bakeries in neighborhoods & containerizing "fresh" foods in plastic. As holiday dinners near I'm thinking about how Americans (that I know) ruin toasts. In my life experience Americans have an absolute obsession with touching glasses, *everyone's* glass if they can, and there is NO EYE CONTACT because all eyes are on not spilling their glasses as they carefully tap every other glass reaching all over the table.
