Ok, so this guy's account history is fucking amazing, just look at this absolute banger:

Orthodox economic practices have existed for millennia, but the concept of "capitalism" was invented in the 1840s by the same people who claimed to have invented a viable alternative.

Think of it like the word "cisgender" that was invented by people advocating something abnormal, without wanting to acknowledge that the alternative is the norm.

Millenia? Really? This guy just thinks capitalism is the exchange of goods

"Why do so many Russians grow their own food?"

Also, half of his posts seem to be about anti-semitism, but then he asks if people in Russia have conspiracy theories specifically about Jews, so i'm thinking projection

You need to understand that everything bad that has ever happened was because of Russia

They don't want you to know this, but you know the Sea Peoples? Yeah, well their army ran off of shashlik and Stoli, if you know what i mean.

Orthodox economic practices have existed for millennia

Like what, hunting-gathering and primitive communism? Considering humanity exist for hundreds of millenias, and thousands if you include pre-humans, it's hard to find more orthodox economic practice.

economics is when there is money. imagine you're on a desert island and you have 5 crabs. another guy has 3 palm trees. that's economics, actually.
