To say we have not come up with and even implemented better ways of doing things is to reject history itself. Would these people say that #monarchy, with its mad inbred rulers occasionally slaughtering the population, was no worse than modern #democracy or #anarchism? Would these people say the #DarkAges, with its plagues and witch trials, were just as good as the Post #Enlightenment era of medicine and #law?
Progress HAS been made. That is a fact.

Utterly disgusting. This is governments equivalent of sending dick pics to each other. Sad to see humanity has still not managed to progress mentally since the dark ages.

It was illegal for you to read, even the bible.

"This new portait cost the British taxpayers £8 million while their kids are starving. And they claim that they are giving it out free copies to the public.
Uh....it's not free if the taxpayers paid £8 million for it.🤦🏻♀️

Now if he took that £8 million and made lots of cakes with his portrait of them and gave them out for free, I wonder if anyone would eat them? #LetThemEatCake
