I could never be convinced that our ancestors were some uncultured "horse and cart" losers with no meaningful technology.

Trust me, I lived with them, they really were exactly that - horse and cart with no meaningful technology.
None of us lived in those times.
In some parts of soviet union the second half of 20th century was totally indifferent from second half of 19th century, which wasn't much different from a number of even earlier centuries.
I mean no cars, no electricity, no phones, artisan blacksmith metal tools and parts of a cart.
Except, most already had modern bicycles.
The collective farms did have the machinery, but not the people at home. So outside the collective farms life was pretty much early 19th century.
The mental gymnastics one must go through to believe the uncultured narrative..
It's bizzare. Culture is tens of thousands of years old. Our brains are no more, or no less "Cultured" than they were about 100,000 years ago. People just work with what they have and what the prevailing ideas of the time are. Adapt and improve. Similarly, I always thought my country was "The Best" in the World because we invented a shit load of stuff. True, we did. We did so because we were exploitative cunts who had loads of time on their hands to do so, after raping countries of their resources and labour. Rant over, as you were🫡.
