My sibling in Christ I do world class research but not for the death-to-america sideblog…,

Damn u rite

🤷‍♂️ could be a specific thing they told me n I forgot. Maybe as simple as don’t post lemmy screenshots trying to be funny. Idrc I used to be really into that community and got back into theory about it. I had like 100k karma , maybe less maybe way more , basically every post I’d put on that sub that got really big got taken down over the last year or so. I can’t speak to why mine specifically, but so far as I can tell they straight up Went through with like their definitive rules for posts or whatever and applied it retroactively and purged basically the whole top posts page halfba dozen times over at least. Maybe I’m just last to the party but the vague rumblings about how the main sub remains borked are well founded.

I mean, they didn’t do anything wrong. I just don’t like the rule(s) that I’m violating.

If it makes you feel any better it’s like 70% just me. Don’t feel too good tho b/c I am here owing to police beatings and being held in solitary confinement. So. Yeah 👍

No, it’s the last place on the internet that is actively curated instead of passively curated. You only see who you pick to follow. Can’t even blame the algorithm because there isn’t one.

Def meant to put a point on … exactly how would you actually be able to tell where that line of intentionality is? and more to point, … does it matter, really, a system is what it does and intention is irrelevant. They meant to do something

You realize the common sense ‘meat’ of this ‘gotcha’ is just racism, right? I mean Like, If you approach America from any perspective other than a well off Democratic enclave, or approach China as anything other than an importer…

But yes, precisely. Seriously talking about the ways China is better than the US and how we can learn from them. What a perfect example of how “the right to freedom of speech” in the United States is a rhetorical position not an actual argument.

Ooh wow congrats everyone . I think this might be the most downvoted post in this space

But muh Stalin. . Does this mean we’re allowed to say, “but 1930s America” to every single good thing the US ever did if that government ever poops?

Well yeah, but I’ve yet to meet a boomer that doesn’t just say, “no” when you lay math like that out so

That’s horse shit the Ohio legislature changed it specifically so the dnc would stop throwing them under the bus

Thanks

Multilateralism. It’s multilateralism.

Don’t at me >=[

Okay, so this is actually really interesting. It gets into how in the US, when we talk about slavery, we are specifically talking about chattel slavery as it was practiced in the Americas. And there’s actually a pretty strong argument that American chattel slavery is, if not unique in world history, it is more aberrant than other force labor systems throughout world history.

Absolutely mass incarceration, and the force labor system that goes along with it are incredibly distinct from American style chattel slavery, but this is because they’re arguably more in line with what slavery, distinct from chattel slavery, ‘usually’ meant. Basing a forced labor system off of race is more or less a modern phenomenon . There’s some nuance, but slave codes basically make up the core of available written records on the development of race as a cultural concept. [big ol’ FOR THE WEST label here]

x.x thank you

Put me in coach

Brazil is Americas??

Edit: But, yes, same deal. The racialized element of the forced labor system is what I’m referring to. The social concept of race is modern. sustained, large scale, intercontinental?migrations are required. And it was this forced labor system, mostly in the tropics… depending how you measure…

The uniquely cruel aspect to chattel slavery in the continental US was the breeding programs.
