    The fact that Germany who committed one of the biggest atrocities in history was like “fuck we fucked up bad please accept our apology” years after the war.

    While America contributed to slavery yet can’t be like “we’re sorry we hope we can unite everyone” instead are like “why are you making whites look bad”

    Is hilarious and astounding

      So the takeaway here is we need to invade the US , batter them into submission before they’ll become reflective and apologetic ? Similarly Russia, and Israel i guess

      After the civil war Lincoln was trying to unite the country again and gave Confederate leaders a pass and allowed them back to Congress. They should have all been jailed and or executed.

            We made baby steps by prosecuting the Jan 6th insurrectionists, but thr system allowed Trump (Republicans) to pardon every single one of them as soon as he was back in office.

              This is why you don’t forgive Insurrectionists, you HANG them. The next time some putz says come and fight for me, they’ll remember what happened to the last bunch of morons.

                “But the fascists might use fake insurrectionist charges to hang people!” say the moderates who ignore ICE openly murdering people.

                Yeah, those that try to overthrow a free and fair election should hang.

                  Way too much surrendering in advance. They’re always threatening about something or another, you can’t just automatically give in because they MIGHT fight back. Call their bluffs, every time. Make them work for it. Make them earn it.

                  free and fair

                  I wouldn’t call our elections free, as corporations/billionaires/the parties essentially get to veto anyone they don’t approve of, and the presidential election certainly isn’t fair, Trump and Bush got elected despite not having the plurality, and in Bush’s case, not even the most electoral votes.

                  But the constitution gives congress near total discretion as to a traitor’s punishment. Brazil’s Lula demonstrated how you use that tool to consolidate power to enact the will of your constituents.

        Lincoln was pro-reunification, but he died before reconstruction could really begin. It was Andrew Johnson who fucked everything up.

      I don’t care that food is unaffordable. I don’t care if my kid has to go into crippling debt for an education. I don’t even care that I can’t afford to fight my wife’s cancer, so she just died. I will not share my water fountain.

    Yeah, and by white people he means his dad. Because you know, his dad was such a racist piece of shit that wouldn’t rent to people of color and Woodie Guthry wrote a song about him. Becouse he was such a piece of shit.

    He’s right. It’s getting bad for us white people out here. I can’t even say racist, sexist, or bigoted stuff at work anymore. It’s so hard.

      I even got the side eye once from somebody halfway across the room after I said that I thought people on minimum wage should just work harder if they want to be able to pay rent for their shitty apartment!

      or they were just looking at me while they stretched, I’m not sure, they had headphones in. but still, can you believe it! you can’t say anything anymore…

    When you inhabit the peak of social privilege, and habitually debase those you consider different, equality sure looks a lot like oppression.
