@Landa@graz.social @futurebird@sauropods.win @cabel@social.panic.com The industrial revolution made a lot of people very poor, forced children into labor, reduced the life expectancy of workers, and enabled a speed of ecological destruction that now leads us into systemic collapse. There is only a specific time and place in the world - e.g. the relatively rich global north post WW2 - where the industrial revolution can be framed as something to be aspired and repeated.
