What Happened To Journalism?

Glad you liked it, Bones. I agree that this whole process is happening earlier than the barbarians (I like Corona Circus' term the best) would prefer, but if you look at it from their point of view it's obvious that the Internet is their nemesis. It reminds me of the Sword of Shannara from a different elf simulator. We are all getting better and better at sorting through the propaganda.

For example, I learned yesterday that America was founded on White slavery. I read about these people as 'indentured servants' in high school, and if I had just taken a second to think logically it would have been obvious that the plantation owners would have every incentive to work the indentured servant to death before they could finish their term and take the owner's land. Most of them were teenagers who were kidnapped off the streets. The 300,000 Europeans were roughly comparable to the 400,000 Africans (there were 10 million slaves shipped across the Atlantic, but the vast majority went to South America and the Caribbean). Kind of gives you a different perspective on reparations for slavery, doesn't it?

If the history of the barbary slave trade by the ottomans\moors was taught alongside the atlantic slave trade in highschool and undergrad world history courses, the world would be a much saner place.

By blm logic, I should be allowed to go to turkey\algeria and take their shit and burn everything down. Or alternatively, I could realize that nobody in the history of the world doesn't have dirty hands when it comes to barbarism, and burning everything down in the present because you're ignorant of so much of what came before you is much worse than the original sin you're so against.

champions of reforms and improvements will always be fooled by the defenders of the old order until they realize that every old institution, however barbarous and rotten it may appear to be, is kept going by the forces of the ruling classes.

Sure I'm just saying the violence currently happening in america is propelled by pure self involved narcissism and an extreme ignorance of history rather than some revolutionary new understanding of it. A cause better be pretty damn noble if you think it justifies going out and terrorizing and burning down the life's work of people who have absolutely nothing to do with your central grievance.

Also I don't really know what you're talking about.

Slavery never ended.

The greatest trick users of slave labour achieved was to offload the responsibilities and expenses of slave ownership onto the slaves themselves by making them self-owned. No longer was the welfare of the workforce held accountable to the wealthy.

Working at burger king is the same as picking cotton until you die for no money. Got it.

What the hell is wrong with you people? Let's just muddy the shit out of this. Here's a word: slavery, here's another word: wage. Seeeee, kinda the same thing? When you put the word slavery next to any other word, it automatically is bad.

Bill gates is simply a slave to creating amazingly useful technologies that enhance the welfare of the entire world and is compensated for it. Slavery never ended.

ya except i would be literally dead if not for my democrat 1000% comped health insurance since my hands toggled off 4 years ago thru no fault of my own. now i literally cannot collect taxable income because of the perverse incentive involved in losing that medical, so i have been basically forced into retirement before 30 by Sin incarnated in "means testing" which is "sad" because my IQ is very high and i am a workaholic with way better ideas than literally any person i meet. but guess what it's not actually sad because now my life's work is serving others, not serving a black god of death and consumption and festitude politely handling billionaires' personal conversations and never leaking. (the inheritor-billionaires write to everyone, even their wives, with CAPSLOCK ON. THEY ARE LIKE HUNGRY DEMONS, HELL CONJURED ONTO EARTH. not joking they are so ugly in their personal interactions it would turn your stomach. once you see it you realize what you are building, whatever that shitty job is ur doing you work for the Devil itself.) i would be just another dead angel with all her words disavowed and called crazy if this were 1980s and democrat agenda hadn't advanced to where it is now (the physically destroyed can have medical in like 5 states and i happened to live in one yay). i put everything, my very soul into the system and have nothing to show for it but bright shining physical agony and PTSD. think dreams about trying to escape strait jackets over and over or your hands are so heavy you can't pull your firearm that you wake up from already sobbing. it's all a god-damned lottery system. i scored 99.9 on every one of their tests and did every one of their things. food for thot
