Oh also btw the ‘only 18 over’ is bs. I’ve seen kid kids in jail youth programs and I have specific notes about how and how long it took one of them to go insane in MCCC in Montgomery county Maryland December 2018-february 2019

Hey you know that I don’t get to make these choices anymore because you’re not temp banned.

This is not an academic paper. The difference between an 18-year-old and a 17-year-old is for people who like to pretend .

This is the US is bad group.

it’s just that on this particular platform you’re allowed to come in and pitch your own brand of centrist bullshit. But you are always coming into my house trying to make excuses for the government. Don’t ever think you’re better than that. That is all you are.

it’s only because I am just straight up not allowed to enforce any kind of standards in this community. Let me is going through some growing pains, and my goodness is itmaking it all of the rest of our problems

Again it’s not because there’s not serious parallels between American style race-based chattel slavery and the modern forced labor system that we use to enslave people.

They muddy the waters because they are Confederates they are ye old fascists their entire f****** bit is to play with reality. These people genuinely believe that they are scientifically better at being human and that they can prove it with their bones.

Frankly, I think the slavery systems that the US has the most in common with is not even its own historical chattel slavery. Just normal forced labor systems historically that were not multigenerational. Like multi-generational race-based slavery is basically unique in world history and frankly every single example I’ve ever seen of historical parallels or or like any sort of historical precedent for any kind of practice even remotely similar to race-based chattle slavery basically is just an exercise in examining our own biases because they don’t f****** have them. Race is from chattel slavery race as a concept in the English language is from chattel slavery . Most human societies throughout history and most languages even are not going to have concepts of race as opposed to just normal ethnicity because you don’t even have enough of a range to realize that’s a thing that happens. It’s like being aware that there are people in the world with these other characteristics, and half the time it’s in the same sort of breath or sentence as here there be dragons and freaking people with their heads on backwards who walk shuffling or whatever. Like it’s it’s actually basically impossible to both not give someone hope that their life or any of their children’s lives could ever improve and also maintain that situation with any sort of permanence . Modern empires modern science modern pseudoscience is an integral part of that kind of system functioning and it the keys just didn’t exist more than 400 years ago all at the same time.

Like some of the best evidence I’ve ever seen for why the slave trade stopped in the first place is just they realized how many f****** people were dying and enough of the different human links in that economic chain just noped the f*** out of it within 200 years.

F*** I had a bad day

Hey I mean I fully agree with the sentiment you present and I run a space called USAuthoritarianism about it :/

I just wanted to see if you could do that :( I’d never tried b4

I mean.

Thanks for the sources 👍

Think it’s fair to say there might have been a little something between 1873 and 1968 that’d warrant resetting that first.

This Post Got My Reddit Temp Banned :(

Truly, from the depths of the algorithm.

No but this is what I mean. The republicans just won this election and Biden welcomed him back into the white house. This is the system. Welcome to the real silent majority: None.

Well no, it saved less than a minute, and ya I agree that would usually mean less engagement, but fascinatingly by pointing it out and making that criticism real it adds complexity to the post and actually increases engagement.

No, ais “learning” is modeled off of how people think, and there’s a lot of overlap between what looks like ai and what is actually a tired and stressed person trying to both do the right thing and finish anything ., at 5 am. The morning before the election.

Adjusted the title.

I’ve been doing daily posts for a year now, acquired 5200 subscribers across 3 platforms and Il b honest I am now deeply sympathetic to how the current media landscape got to where it is

Yeah but I don’t. Look at the fd wall. He talked so much about his wall. He gets in, what wall did he build? That shit is Obamas wall.

Right, he’s a monkey wrench for governments in a suit. The only issue being he enables the far right, everywhere.

… do you not? Are., they not? The Cold War is over, nato was formed to fight the Cold War. The taliban is in charge actually, idk if you’ve seen. The christofascist right in the US completing their coup de grace and influencing the course to end roe and beyond. … like, Yeah! All of these things are the real trends in the world and our time that the democrats need to acknowledge and build their power around addressing, but they can’t. When we say both sides are the same it’s for this. This incessant need to tie these massive societal shifts that are happening to the character and person of Donald trump.

President Trump has the foreign policy chops of a wet noodle. The threat that trump poses is rather decidedly not from him personally.

President Biden has been feigning weakness while fully utilizing the power of the executive office to conduct a genocide.

Weighted in my mind with Harris’ recent comments on how she will not fight the states for passing anti-transgender laws…,

ladies and gentlemen, variations there upon, this is where we are. The absolute best thing we can possibly hope for, is another Obama.

So . Yeah. Fuck Neoliberal Politicians and imperialism.

I get where you’re coming from.

I will say, when I’ve issued that criticism. It was not so much the lack of a need for a word for something between totalitarianism and liberal democracies, but rather the lack of equitable use of any term in that space.

No. You can just take my word for it that this exists, or stew in ignorance.

Conservatives can choose to stop being evil at any time. That’s what prejudice is for.
