    This doesn’t have to be controversial, just read the confederate state’s declarations of succession. The cause of the civil war isn’t open for interpretation. The people who succeeded litterally wrote down and formally publicized their reasons.

    none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun. These products have become necessities of the world, and a blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization

      Oh fuck if I had three wishes one of them would be to get a hatchet and get into a ring with whatever fucktard wrote that.

          I’m already angry enough at humanity.

          I’m genuinely ready to go to the street and burn shit down and I don’t even live in the states. (I’ve got some of my own problems where I live as well.)

        Why a hatchet? Why not them just hogtied and you with a loaded 12ga shotgun? Pump-action and with magnum slugs!

          I like to get in there.

          A firearm is so… impersonal.

            Ok so him tied up and you have the hatchet. Why give rhe fuck would you give them a chance? They wouldn’t give you one.

              “Tied up”? Where’s the fun in that?

              I want to see the look in their face when they realise they’ve given it their all and still have not a chance in hell. I fucking love seeing the desperation in the eyes of racists and fascists everywhere when they realise they don’t have any more fallbacks and have to rely on their own person, which is always inadequate.

                This is what it would be to you, but for me it is about tit for tat. They want the whole world hostage to them, and I want them to taste the helplessness of the hell they wrought on so many people. Also I refuse to take any chances. They need to rendered 100% helpless. Even like what Baron Harkonnen did to Duke Leto in the 2021 Dune film when he didn’t just have him drugged and tied up, but completely naked as well… except I will make sure they have no hidden weapons like the poison gas tooth…

                  I take your point, but I’d just be so annoyed at listening to them go on about how “if I weren’t tied up”.

                  Like how conservatives are always like “if only we were in power, there’d be perfect government”, but then the only thing they manage is a kakistocracy like Trump.

                  So I hate to hear the baseless boasting. But I very much take your point.

                  Basically the answer would be to have them actually have empathy. But how do we… make someone have empathy? If that were possible there wouldn’t really be any issues in the world, right?

                  Well such things exist and they’re extremely banned wordlwide.

      Don’t forget the part where if you joined the Confederacy you signed:

      "No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing the right of property in Negro slaves shall be passed.”
