    We have to keep drilling in that slavery is bad because there are still so many fucking racists in this country.

    It’s almost as if racism is a core value among American conservatives.

    So, teaching the horrors of slavery is woke now? They are just telling on themselves now.

    Is it just me or is whitewashing slavery the first step in reinstituting slavery?

        We can but pulling logistics online leaves us open to plan spying by the enemy. Even using Signal is not secure enough if the govt military can be outed on it

          To be fair to Signal, they kinda outed themselves by including that journalist in the chat. That’s not really a fault of signal. But they also shouldn’t have been using signal in the first place, so there’s that.

          The people rising up would include most of the military. If not literally all

            If they were rising up on our side, we could have the legislature and the whitehouse cleaned out in no time. They would more likely rise up on the govts side

    The logic:

    400 years of slavery but your great great grand grand kids have been taught 1 or 2 farming skills a piece.

    Oh, and we will be generous and only charge half price for those 400 years of your food and lodging.

    You owe us really…

    Black people loved slavery. There. I cut out all the euphemisms and just got us to the end goal to save us some time.

      No, they were about facts not caring about your feelings. Where their feelings are involved, it’s the opposite; their feelings don’t care about facts.
