Corporate/Consumer World is Just the Classical World

There are a lot of people who imagine the classical world was somehow better than the present day western world. It's really just the same thing. Rome was a giant corporate entity with a dysfunctional, insane ruling class and a dopey population of believers and slaves. The current day world is similar, but we have better machines and technology.

People think the different western religions today are significantly different than classical world religions, but it's pretty obvious the god character in the jewish mythology is just jew zeus and the jesus character is jew dionysus or osiris. The whole osiris bread story is even retained in the mythology, well so is the dionysus wine and donkey riding thing.

It's pretty bizarre everything is so static. Nothing changes, people don't get any better. There's still endless conflict about the assholey land, which is totally bizarre. So called western people have been trying to reclaim places like Jerusalem for thousands of years. Who cares? Pretty much every place in the Western world, especially a place like the United States has vastly more resources.
