that’s what the statement suggests because you’re not talking about slavery in general but explicitly about black slaves…
pfft that’s the most 13-year old racist edgelord shit I’ve heard in ages.
No, that’s not what that says, you silly twat, lol… ok so there’s this thing called context. And the context in which slavery was introduced, in this thread, was regarding the protagonist in the game going after slavery supporters.
AND YOU HAD TO FUCKIN’ CHIME IN BUT BUT NOT ALL SLAVES-
motherfucking couldn’t resist the urge. So answer the fucking question: what is it, inside you, that is so desperate that you need to reply with that specious bullshit?
TAKEN IN THE CONTEXT OF RDR2, the history of the US, it’s referring to the human stain of racists enslaving black people for their entire lives, and the lives of their children in perpetuity. a very different thing compared to what irish indentured servants experienced.

ok, keep going, you’re almost there: if you follow that back to the Olduvai gorge, like you say, to the earliest humans - where were those hominids who were enslaving each other? come on, you can do it…
were they white people?
This idiotic statement:
Much people forget before black slavery there was white slavery… So its just good if there is none slavery.
Much people forget basic grammar too, apparently.
No, there’s always some idiot who has to bring up that some white people (maybe even their ancestors) were also slaves, so he shouldn’t have to XYZ. Or that people of color might have ancestors who enslaved each other, so XYZ. It’s all silly bullshit.

bzzt wrong. Portuguese slave traders worked out deals with african tribal leaders in the 1400s. Unless you’re going to relabel feudalism as slavery.
- Comment on Based Red Dead 1 day ago:
what is it that drives the desperate need you have to bring it up in this context?
the vast majority of people who know history know about indentured servitude. but it’s a footnote compared the the millions of people systematically stolen (not indentured, note), taken to another part of the planet and bred for labor.

You need to be a better storyteller if you’re going to convince people are in the wrong, according to you, about something, otherwise they feel attacked
or perhaps they should be better, more informed consumers?
like, at some point people should be responsible for their own stupidity and self delusions.

- Comment on Can enough solar pannels decrease the global temps? 1 week ago:
when that electricity (photons absorbed by solar cells dumped into the grid) they’ll almost certainly be used in an application that generates heat, as well - data centers, phones, refrigerators, cars, they all generate heat as a byproduct of using that power.
I don’t think this is in any way a problem.

I remember the 80s when high sulphur coal was the norm, and we had problem with the sulphur emissions causing acid rain; I def. don’t want to return to that…
ah yes, my youth…
- Comment on Go into debt if you have to 2 weeks ago:
yeeeah but:
the impacts of methane releases which spike with burnoff impact the atmosphere for decades. we’re continuing to feed it.
coal - for all it’s wretched problems from heavy metals to black lungs - added particulates that cut down on absorbed heat in the atmosphere.we’re seeing the same unanticipated effect with the move from the worst bunker fuel (high sulphate) may let in more heating energy because we’re taking the worst fine particulate exhausts out… carbonbrief.org/analysis-how-low-sulphur-shipping…
some times you’re damned if you do and you’re damned if you don’t. That said, both the transition to cleaner fuel and the end of coal need to happen, but also we need to start planning for the end of LNG as well.
good luck, have fun friends

I love the idea of a bunch of rando’s purchasing LNG shipping and just thinking… step one, done… step two, profit!
