Thank you for this, this is a much better way of outlining what bothers me about the weird pyramid-builder’s rights movement that seems to always crop up in these posts.

You can make great arguments for better social welfare and support systems in today’s world without trying to drag invented-ghosts out of the deep-past from ages that are so far removed from modern values and standards that it may as well be another planet.

I guess the Pharaohs actually did achieve some form of immortality if those giant stacks of rock get people on the internet 4000 years to confront their own poorly-framed social arguments.
