gollark: Also, if prejudice is... somehow caused by capitalism... how do you explain racism and whatnot before modern capitalism was a thing?
gollark: Yes, and it happens that "make money" lines up conveniently with "let people sit", so you don't just have to hope that someone will come along and give you a nicer chair.

gollark: Different chairs for everybody? Because, well, firstly, that sounds impractical.
