        Holy shit, this one reply you got is quite possibly the dumbest thing I’ve ever read lmao

        What you call a ‘Process of Material Reality’ could as easily be called G*d or the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

          I had to log off, I was getting genuinely upset. It doesn’t get better, they get even worse

          On the other hand… tagline?

          Here it is:

          “When could we have voted for a 90% tax rate?”

          Eisenhower’s presidency did see some tax rates above 90%, but that figure only applied to the individual income taxes of top earners. For married people filing jointly in 1953, for example, any income above $200,000 was taxed at 90%, above $300,000 at 91%, and above $400,000 at 92%.

          For someone who claims to know a lot about history, you sure are short on facts.

          And if history is a ‘physical process’ post some pictures of it working. Not pictures of people doing things, because that would prove my point. A discrete physical embodiment of history, please.
