You're preaching to the choir here. Wanna see a progressives brain enter blue screen mode? Wait for a conversation about how white people are evil because of slavery (you won't have to wait long, trust me, it spontaneously happens at least 5 times a day for them) and then come at them with facts about how white Europeans bought slaves from other black people. They have this image in their head that white Europeans waged endless war throughout Africa and personally captured each and every slave that came to the New World by brute force. While plenty of slaves did come from raids, most of them were just straight up bought from black tribal leaders who had already captured and enslaved them among tribal infighting. There are still statues of some leaders in Africa who were directly responsible for selling slaves to european merchants. At this point in history pretty much every "group" has enslaved another at some point - it doesn't make it right or excuse it but it's hardly as though white people are the only racial group in history to commit atrocities.

Agreed. History is already dumbed down to a hilarious extent for one reason or another - ffs they're happy to tell kids what a colonizing super racist Columbus was but they still don't actually delve into the fact that Vikings were in America centuries before Columbus or any other Euro explorers. But it gets more insidious than that, they don't just avoid teaching certain subjects, they outright change the narrative when it fits them because the academic world largely identifies as "progressive" anyway and any idiot knows that you can change history if you can change the narrative. So you see kids coming out of high school fresh and moldable like play doh, not really having concrete political views outside of what they supported to maintain popularity in high school, and they go into this college environment where they're essentially told that only progressive people are smart, anything not in line with SJW/progressive thinking is outdated and based in bigotry and hate, and that the entire world would be better off it only it weren't for those meddling white people and their mangy desire to conquer humanity.

Absolutely. Slavery was something that happened to every racial group, and was perpetrated by every racial group. People often enslaved their own people. Many Europeans came to the US in the past few centuries to escape from "serfdom" in their countries of origin.

Indentured servitude was commonplace among US immigrants around the time of the Revolutionary War. You had to work 10 years for your Master for virtually nothing in order to pay off your shipping fare. The Revolutionaries offered to pay off people's indentured servitude debts as a way to lure people into volunteering for their army.

I know that freed blacks during the time of US slavery frequently bought their own relatives if they were able to track them down. I suppose it was a loophole to protect one's family members, but they're still considered "slave holders" in historical documents.

While watching a documentary about Russia recently, I learned that slavery was legal in Russia until around the end of the US Civil War. I want to say 1865, but I might be off by a year or so.

I've also read more than once that Ottomans were raiding Eastern European towns well past 1800. They'd steal people and whisk them away to work as slaves.

They've been doing this gimmick for 60 years. I think they'll be fine. It's also worth noting that this town seems to be a frozen wasteland during the only time people notice its existence.

Dunno. Maybe when Christopher Cantwell gets out of jail in 20 years, he will eye up Dixville as a place to set up his dream white baby farm harem. Can't wait for the first official reported votes for president to be the write-ins of "Adolf Hitler-2" "Moonman-1" and "Fuck Kikes-3."

So before the political sperging commences into the early morning; I'd like to briefly remove the mask for a moment and tell you all the following:
Please stay safe. I know that there is little chance of everybody being effected by the immediate fallout of the election, but we've sat back in this last year and watched the impossible become possible.
We have watched a virus evolve from an isolated incident into a plague, we've seen peaceful protests turn to riots, we've been mired in mixed messages and gray areas by both sides this entire year.

Please, for your own sake; be aware of your surroundings, as we have seen; people are already starting to organize in large population centers and all it takes is one person to light the proverbial fuse to a powederkeg that has no real basis in logic, but in opportunism.
Be aware that riots move with police intervention. If they are blocks away; they may very well make their way to you.

I know it may seem like an exaggeration, but I'd rather overstate my concerns than regret saying nothing later. Regardless of whose colors you fly, you deserve to be safe.
Things have always been difficult, but things haven't always been this crude.
I hope that in the end, I'm just being paranoid and nothing happens.

Probably because they don't want his booster seat. Words cannot express how tiny this motherfucker is. I vividly remember seeing him on Bill Maher's old show in the late 90's and being distracted by the fact that he looked like looked like a middle aged first grader. When you're the most sideshow looking motherfucker on a panel with Mechanical Animals era Marilyn Manson, I will never be able to take you seriously.

The concern is absolutely warranted. I've barricaded my windows and I am armed.

If you're anywhere near these zones, do not screw around with your safety.

So this is that "doomsday" that AVGN was talking about in his video.

Those were the Barbary Africans.
Ottonans had their healthy supply of slaves from the balkans thanks to the blood tax which requires every family that cant pay tax in food or money to pay with one of their children. If it was a girl it was a concubine, if it was a boy it was a eunich or yannisary.
They literally white washed their nation like this.

It occurs to me that the last time I heard this song was on night 3 of the Floyd riots (hell, I was probably the one that posted it to the thread). I don't even have anything witty to say, just... fuck, how did we get here?
