"To find out who rules over you, simply find out who you're not allowed to criticize." - some neo-nazi dipshit

Boy, this quote sure backfired on them hard. I take it it's too late for us to nab the quote for ourselves.

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 35 points 10 months ago

Applying basic algebra, we can deduce that "White" is a codeword for "Racist".

Twitter is basically 4chan for boomers now. Fucking disgusting.

Me, when the National Guard is brought in to keep me from lynching people: Well excuse me, I thought this was a free country!

Yeah I can't imagine why Eisenhower sent in the 82nd Airborne. It couldn't be because white mobs ruthlessly attacked unescorted black children walking to school, broadcast nationwide

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 31 points 10 months ago

No, it’s because the black schoolgirl played hip hop jazz too loudly and scared the Innocent White Family

imagine thinking segregation wasn't and isn't still to this day enforced by a constant stream of political violence/terrorism and the ever present threat of both at the hands of the state and its allied paramilitary forces.

i wonder if this guy thinks that slavery lasted so long because it was "normal", and not because states like Virginia had something like one of every 3 able bodied white dudes organized into a rapid response counter-insurrectionary force to stamp out the constant stream of disorganized resistance before it could explode into a full rebellion.

Eugene Genovese, in his comprehensive study of slavery, Roll, Jordan, Roll, sees a record of "simultaneous accommodation and resistance to slavery." The resistance included stealing property, sabotage and slowness, killing overseers and masters, burning down plantation buildings, running away. Even the accommodation "breathed a critical spirit and disguised subversive actions." Most of this resistance, Genovese stresses, fell short of organized insurrection, but its significance for masters and slaves was enormous. https://www.historyisaweapon.com/defcon1/zinnslaem10.html

Also as WEB DuBois points out organized resistance did happen constantly. It just formed in intelligent networks of escape than violent uprisings of doom. The coast of Georgia, the territory of Florida, and Canada were all means of escape.

Guerrila warfare is often done by people who view the land as their home. Slaves did not view America as a homeland, so their resistance method was to escape.

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 13 points 10 months ago

Who could have known that the black people we purposefully kidnapped and trafficked as slave labor would want to continue existing after the end of slavery?!

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 32 points 10 months ago

Funnily enough Gondor and Numenoreans in general had long history of colonising Harad, fortunately their main army got nuked by Valar so there were never enough of them to take over anything more than the northern wilderness entirely (and that happened before Numenor had sunk).

Also the so called "men of the west" were the most incompetent people in entire Middle-Earth, everyone else, even with catastrophic wars, managed to hold more or less to something, but the fabled kindom of Arnor died off to the point where the biggest remnant is the village of Bree with maybe few hundred people living in it (half of which are hobbits) and the southern kindgom of Gondor was also apparently depopulated to a point where entire huge kingdom managed to field around 6500 soldiers for what was widely considered the fight for biological survival.

[-] huf@hexbear.net 2 points 10 months ago

nah, they successfully colonized all along the coast of middle earth from the northwest to harad. caused untold ecological damage too. abused the natives.

their numbers were never very great, so the populations of the realms they ended up ruling after the fall of numenor were mostly non-numenorean everywhere. there were pockets of numenoreans here and there (around lake evendim, around minas tirith, in ithilien before it was overrun, in belfalas and around umbar at least).

It was only in 1965, after repeated lobbying from the U.S.S.R., after the MEP was clearly failing, and after the Johnson administration stressed the importance of addressing infectious diseases to clear the “breeding places” for communism that the WHO chose to adequately fund the Smallpox Eradication Program. Even then, the budget passed on the narrowest voting margin in WHO history after opposition from France and the U.S. on its price tag. The project cost 98 million dollars, and over 80% of the 2 billion vaccines required by the program were donated by the U.S.S.R., who alone had the vaccine manufacturing facilities to support the efforts. [21] The program very nearly didn’t happen at all;

I had no idea the ussr was 80% of all contributions to Smallpox eradication.

How many deaths would have occurred if Smallpox hadn't been eradicated?

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 20 points 10 months ago

Smallpox deaths averaged 400000 per year in XX century before its eradication. It was the second most deadly disease after the bubonic plague, and through history it claimed many times more lives in total than bubonic.

List of times the US military were on the right side:

US Civil war

WW2

Bussing and desegregation

And all of them need massive asterisks and the assertion that they only did it after being wrong first.
