who’s out there comparing their dicks to other dudes to know if they’re below or above average
The same people comparing their cars, bank accounts, houses, even their dogs and schools their children go to. to decide who is ““alpha”” and who is poor. Capitalist religion issues.
We had comparative wealth inequality for thousands to tens of thousands of years before capitalism.
Yes, but you didnt have status anxiety and “you deserve to be poor because you don hustle enough at the altar of capitalism”.
You absolutely have Calvinism before capitalism which is what the prosperoty gospel is rooted within
But in Calvinism you couldn’t do anything about it, in the prosperity gospel, it is your fault, because you don’t belive enough, so you should try harder.
