@AccordionBruce@mastodon.social well they're dead now, but it's good to remember they were not just about paintings and poetry. They also had get-rich-quick by any means available, The people where I'm at just now, on the far end of the globe from Africa, Argentina , and America , had the big players invest in sailing ships , the slave-trade and sugar. Shang-haiing boys, spreading syphilis and defrauding banks. It happened. They were "the pillars of society". They were rotten. @mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io
