Healthy working class to exploit. Not that that means you should be unhealthy as an anti imperialist act. A healthy, informed working class is the most likely to have a successful revolt.
Masculine trait in our culture. Not every culture has been a patriarchy and I’m sure many didnt care which gender was tough when survival was so difficult.
Oh I know, and I understand why it didn’t work out that way. But imagine if it did.
Also yes, the quakers were also very anti slavery in the US. The quakers seem to be (from what I’ve read) on the right side of almost every issue the capitalist imperialist west has faced for as long as they’ve been around.
I think at some point we as a society need to heavily regulate and restrict where and when advertisement is allowed, and who is allowed to do it. Things like billboards and optional free services that need revenue should be allowed (with heavy restrictions, things like YouTube and Facebook have gotten absolutely out of control with advertisement) and multibillion dollar corporations should be banned from advertising outside of their own personal properties, at the very least. I’d even support an outright ban of current advertising in favour of spaces online where you can be advertised to if you’re actively looking for options for that service. I understand it would cause some issues with the advertising industry but I wont shed any tears for job losses in that sector.
Something has to be done about the absolutely dystopian horror novel levels of advertising we are subjected to.

Absolutely had to be a factor. Pain and the evidence of it is a right of passage into adulthood, it shows strength, discipline, perseverance. This would absolutely be attractive to many ancient cultures. I’m sure the reasons were different depending on the society though.
But at least one of them had to have been to impress the local chicks who thought piercings were sexy.
Americans are too lazy, stupid, and cowardly to ever do anything meaningful about it.
