Nature changes the world. In terms of its vehicles, rising cultures.
Elijah Bell
And ideology is a result and part of the meeting of mind and nature called religion. The calling to complete something that compels men to build, and once having built, causes them to lapse into easy living and weakness, with no mission, and finally resource depletion, social distinction and giving up.

It's quite the chicken and egg question, but I'm inclined to say material circumstances.
Lucas Thompson
Ideology ALWAYS comes after the needs.

Reason I'm asking is that people tend to confuse cause and effect in a lot of social situations.
Take for example feminism. On the Right, feminism is blamed for destroying the nuclear family, but is that really true?
Isn't it way more likely that what destroyed the nuclear family was the need for capitalist societies to grow, and hence needed more labor?
Wyatt Lopez
Material circumstances before ideology. Absolutely every time.
