    They basically view the Industrial Revolution as their own “transitory period”. Things sucked while capitalism was getting its footing but once it was established it was all burgers and Xboxes for all!

    Ignores the west largely just exported all the nasty parts of industrialism via colonialism to get out of that phase.
