"When a person tells you that you hurt them, you don't get to decide that you didn't." - Louis C.K.

Seeing this posted by SJWs I know. Sorry, but what if the person is clearly making shit up?

Considering these posters track record, I'm convinced at this point the people who make them just pull shit out of their asses.

And in addition to that, when you compare this poster with countries like, say, France, you notice some discrepancies ... Something clearly wrong in the argument. We have universal healthcare, we had retirement at 60 until a few years ago, all schools are publicly funded to some extent, the minimum wage gets a tiny raise every year, we tax quite a lot, and yet, we can't seem to be able to make it work and we bleed money ...

Never mind that slavery was on the way out in the Confederacy anyway.

Never mind that slavery was on the way out in the Confederacy anyway.

And the only reason it wasn't already gone is the real reason the Confederacy lost:  It wasn't as far along in industrialization.  In an essentially agricultural economy, with little to no industrial manufacturing or mechanization, the efficiency of slavery isn't lower by enough to strongly discourage it.  Once you get some serious factories going or some real mechanization in farming, the economics of slaveholding, even if you can transfer some portions of the direct costs to your society in general through the use of government, just don't work well enough to compete with those who don't do it.  (Notice that slavery in most jurisdictions goes out within a generation of the general introduction of mechanization in major industries.  That's why the UK was one of the first to do away with it, being one of the origination areas of mechanization.)

Not to mention, had the poster OP's holy government not supported slavery through laws such as the 1837 Fugitive Slave Act, it's most likely slavery would have died out 1) much sooner and 2) without a war at all.  Just like it did in nearly every other country that abolished slavery (Haiti was a slave uprising).

Let's see....


According to her Wikipedia writeup, she's a communist, a linguist, a philosopher, a psychoanalyst, a psycholinguist, a sociologist, and a cultural theorist.  This set of traits and areas of academician are almost as damning of her as the fact that modern feminists object to her work not because it's blatant rubbish but because she's perceived to be heteronormative is to them.
