  Since the emancipation of the N******, the distinction between the two parties has been diminishing. The fight between these two parties has been mainly over the height of customs duties. Their fight has not had any serious importance for the mass of the people. The people have been deceived and diverted from their vital interests by means of spectacular and meaningless duels between the two bourgeois parties.

    I feel like in historical context it’s unnecessary to censor the word Negroes, even though it’s no longer acceptable. I actually looked up the article you quoted to make sure Vlady wasn’t dropping hard R’s, since you kind of never know.

    However that could be the type of buried white privilege similar to thinking it’d be fun to travel back in time to see history in person is, and am open to correction. Just seems like the term wasn’t being used with hate like the N word absolutely always was and is.

      Honestly I’m just used to censoring it for the reddit/facebook/etc algorithmic censors. I generally dislike censoring quotes.

        I strongly agree with censoring quotes, largely in general. Unless the person has used such terrible vulgarity that the repetition of it in quoting is useless and can just be replaced by [slur], don’t wash somebody else’s disgusting language for them let their words belong to them.

      The term is still acceptable, just not on US social media. You also must say “unalive”, it’s all idiocy.

      I think you can still say “idiocy”

  The real lesson is absolutely anyone can put a D by their name…

  Even if not a politician, trump gave so much money to the Clinton’s they came to one of his weddings. He was a Dem “power donor” for decades.

  Anytime people just care about the letter by a name we’re fucked.

  But people are really opposed to critical thinking and really love easy binary labels.

    Life should be easy. I wouldn’t want it any other way.

    I’m confused why someone with enough money to make them puke wants make it difficult for ME.

      Human variation.

      Some people are wired to hoard as much resources as possible, like a squirrel compulsively burying nuts.

      We didn’t evolve for the abstract concept of wealth we have now. It’s just a number on a screen, it can go up indefinitely and at a certain point it’s can’t help but accumulate.

      At a certain point there should be “to much wealth to manage” that limits these people, if they don’t have a limit they’re never stop hoarding.

      If they could have ever been satisfied, they would have been long before a billion.

      What I don’t get is why not everyone see this…

  I’ve seen it said quite nicely elsewhere on the Internet: It’s not Red vs Blue, it’s billionaires vs you. Act accordingly.

    I envy the wordsmiths. Such elegant words. They should get some credibility. Maybe a Poetic License?
