I read it in Everyday Utopia. A totally worthwhile book that includes discussions about alternatives to the nuclear family we are so accustomed to. I didn't find this exact example but in general, hunter gatherers have a much broader sense of heritage and family than we have. That's why it's so stupid when people claim they only care about their own family. Well, if you meet someone whose mother's father had the same totem animal as one of your caregiving adults who joined your group late in life, you might not share a language with this someone, but you are family. And once you live long enough in a group, you become family anyway.

Manchmal sage ich sowas wie "Ich benutze Ubuntu bei dem Weg 🤓" aber nur ironisch /s

Actually 🤓 they rather start as undiscovered conspiracies until they leak enough to make people suspicious and form a theory

Für mich war das XP. Bin seit dem mit Ubuntu zufrieden. Macht mich jetzt nicht zum Meganerd, Ubuntu war damals schon recht umgänglich

And I'm not even arrogant even tho I have all the reason to be

Some cultures trace heritage both patrilineal and matrilineal, so taking the first last name of your father as your first and the second last name of your mother as your second would be that.

I donno but this sounds like something the devil would say

my instance doesn't show downvotes, so all I see is that you have lots of upvotes 😊

In that case: the majority is still upvotes so I'm not complaining or anything :)

An aspect of patriarchy is patrilineality. Belonging to your fathers lineage rather than your mother's or even being stripped of your heritage and being a mere adjunct to your husband isn't materially benefiting the man but lays the ground for that

Except that it's older than that, even in Europe, there was quite some time between the Black Plague and capitalism. But they originate in China where they are much older. Sure, capitalism is composed of many aspects and maybe China had some aspect associated with capitalism back than as well and I'm not too sure about the connection between Europe and China regarding last names. I donno.

Unpopular opinion: Last names are inherently patriarchal and so is marriage

For those curious: it's just an illusion. In reality, Kennedy is alive and well.
