Flordia is changing some of its teaching to say that black people personally benefitted from slavery
It just doesn’t get much worse than this stance. The only way it gets worse is when they start saying they’re re-implementing indentured labour laws
You mean like they'll systematically target black people to send them to prison and then force them to do labor for slave wages?
Yeah, but they won't be so sneaky about it.
Bro, it's been happening for decades already!
Yes. That's what I was referring to. ಠ_ಠ
There is no visible line… why not simply deny slavery and the holocaust as a hoax
As soon as the last person dies that might have personally met a camp survivor they will. They can’t deny the evidence that survivors bring to the table but once people can no longer point at grandma with the number tattooed on her arm, they’ll start playing it down more and more
I mean...
I'm past it. My living philosophy now is nihilistic.
Naw friend, nihilism ain’t it, absurdism though, now that’s the way. This shit is entirely too ridiculous
Why not both?
Every day we stray further from gods light
The Christian God is a slaver, not a liberator.
The LORD instructs the Israelites to enslave.
Oh I'm quite aware, all Abrahamic religions have the same base of messed up morality. I'm not religious. I just find the sort of militant atheist that would make a point of "fiction" annoying.
Oh I'm no militant atheist, I worship the slaver God.
