It wouldn’t surprise me if he was into abusing slaves because it was a good ol’ boys’ club. Franklin did inherent several slaves, got to know them, realized they were people, freed them, then became an abolishinist.

At the end of the day, however, he still agreed with the 3/5ths. Compromise. And he was still buddies with monsters like Washington and Jefferson. Otherwise, everything we know about his sexual history points to him wanting older women, which is part of why he wanted the ambassadorship to France.

AFAIK Ben Franklin preferred old women. And I mean old. Like over 70. Lots of letters to people telling them how widows are the best partners because they know what they’re doing. And that they’re more open to threesomes/foursomes.

If you need to change a lightbulb, and said lightbulb is 20 feet above you, neither a 9 foot nor 10 foot ladder will allow you to get there. The end result is the same, even if both ladders are different and one gets you closer. The hard but practical solution is to find a ladder that can actually reach the bulb!

Malcolm X said the same thing after his return from Mecca:

If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there’s no progress. If you pull it all the way out that’s not progress. The progress is healing the wound that’s below, that the blow made. And they haven’t even begun to pull the knife out, much less pull, heal the wound…

They won’t even admit the knife is there.

And of course this fuck-fuck lib defending Hitler doesn’t know both MLK and Malcolm X were assassinated during Democrat administrations. Or how Fred Hampton, Huey Newton, and the Black Panthers were being undermined by the FBI during the same time period. Hampton was assassinated under a Republican, but only a year after LBJ left office. The plot to have him killed started long before his actual death.

“Easier to organize under liberals over conservatives” my ass.

It’s a perfect example of liberal idealism. They ignore how the world actually is, instead treating identical actions and outcomes as somehow different based on vibes.

We’ve seen what a democratic supermajority looks like. It’s one where Romneycare becomes national policy, Roe v. Wade isn’t codified, and the Bush Doctrine is expanded. Yet somehow, things would totally be different in the year of our Lord 2026 anno dominoes pizza, as if Biden’s administration wasn’t an extension of Trump.

I’m more amazed Trump managed to take and share a screenshot.

Meet Joe Black in case you can’t watch the videos.

You’re right. We shouldn’t be arguing with conservatives at this point. It’s too damaging to the psyche of our comrades.

We should just be shooting them on-sight. No words, just Charlie Kirk these motherfuckers until they no longer exist.

It took me like 5 years before I figured out Miley Cirus, Hannah Montana, and Taylor Swift were three different people.

People will immediately figure out how to make porn or Elsagate-type shit and Disney will get a bunch of angry parents asking why little Timmy was able to make videos of Goofy butchering and eating Donald Duck while completely naked.

Let’s also not forget Pinochet had former SS and other nazis on his bankroll operating “orphanages.” He helped them avoid prosecution for their crimes during WWII by hiding them in Chile. They were then put in charge of children whose parents were Pinochet’s victims.

They tortured, abused, and murdered thousands. AFAIK, Chile is still trying to identify all the bodies of kids dumped in mass graves.

Praised for her shooting accuracy, Shanina was capable of precisely hitting enemy personnel and making doublets (two target hits by two rounds fired in quick succession).

Lmao holy shit just out there firing her bolt-action like it’s semi-auto a full klick out like it’s nothing.

I don’t even see what they get out of it. If I were a big game hunter, I’d be hunting that shit with a spear and maybe something like a sling or javelin. We’re fighting to the death! I would want that lion to have a chance at killing me since I would be trying to kill it.

What these fuckers actually do is setup half a mile away, scouted by some safari team, after driving out there that afternoon, and shoot the poor animal with some godawful monstrosity high powered rifle. Then they think they look cool posing with the dead animal on social media.

Really wish we could declare all hunting to be poaching and make it legal to kill poachers on sight.

but rather rich Vs poor

…which describes the British vs. India you fuck. The UK plunders the global south, then uses those resources to build the infrastructure you use and the food you buy.

“Racist towards the British” my ass.

I support Isreal’s right to exist (in Brandenburg. Specifically that guy’s house).

The lead belt and a comically large toy company.

In addition to this, the US does all of Europe’s dirt elsewhere in the world. For example, oil gets stolen from Syria and sent to Europe. This means European capitalists don’t have to compete with American capitalists, who source their oil from Canada and Latin America. They agree to divvy up resources so Europe and the US don’t come into conflict later.

The war in Ukraine is an example of the opposite happening. NATO capitalists are in conflict with capitalists in former Soviet nations. They both want to extract resources from Ukraine, but NATO capitalists want Russian capitalists to be subservient.

As said above, the Marshall Plan made Europe militarily dependent on the US. In exchange, the US does the actual armed conflict. Europe gets to benefit from imperialism, yet sits below American capital.

look at the relative wealth between China and Europe in the pre-colonial era, then compare that with where China and the West were at in 1948.

That’s what I meant with China’s gold. China itself is comparable to the entirety of Europe in terms of size and population. Europeans then came in and stole a bunch of shit. Like imagine if the Vatican, Louvre, Amsterdam, and more had all of their valuables stolen. The amount of wealth would have to be in the hundreds of billions.

But that’s exactly what happened to China and hundreds of other places.

(We’re saying the same thing)

As a comparison, the British stole over $45 trillion from India between 1765 and 1938.

I wouldn’t put it past Britain to have stolen similar quantities of goods from China. Especially since before British colonization, China was the largest gold producer in the world and one of the largest exporters in history. When the British showed up, all of that was funneled into British coffers.

There are people still alive who grew up in residential schools. There are even people alive who knew survivors of the Trail of Tears. The genocide of Native Americans really wasn’t that long ago and (like you said) still ongoing.

Obama forced an oil pipeline through indigenous land in what? 2014?

Ooh I met a professional Japan hater once. He was a mathematics graduate student at my university. He was given another exchange student as a roommate, who happened to be Japanese. A shitshow ensued, I was asked by some white people what to do (“Aren’t you Asian too? Is this a racism?”), and I just kind of shook my head.

Was deeply unserious.
