It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

As far as I've ever read, not even the ones trying to integrate with practiced perpetual, heritable, racialized chattel slavery
Presumably individuals integrating fully into white society did, but in any indigenous group I've read about remaining separate and holding slaves, slaves had far and away more rights than did black slaves in the US
Pretty much. You might be enslaved but it would be closer to indentured servitude with later release or assimilation. The idea of inherited status as a slave? There's pretty much no record of it. Chattel slavery really only works if you're getting regular boatloads of more Africans to replace the ones that escape or die because of appalling treatment.
I'm not sure if I would want to take this at value, but what particular source says that pre-colonial slaves had more rights than post-colonial Black ones anyways.... it feels like the argument that Atlantic slave trade was less worse, compared to the Arab one....
I'm talking about ones that existed alongside the pre-civil war South, before they were driven out. It comes up as context in works that discuss a black slave fleeing to a nation where they're also a slave, but it's been a while since I read about that
That said, it's usually a safe bet that a system is better than or equal to black slavery in the US, because that perpetual, heritable, racialized chattel slavery is virtually an endpoint for the logic of slavery. Not all forms of slavery involve the following:
Most prominent systems of slavery haven't involved many or any of those points, but ours usee them all. You can even contrast this system with a more precedented one in the same country, for Irish sharecroppers specifically
