@MajToure@nmlinguaphile Truth be told, I think all moral, normal people are exhausted by the soft on crime fatigue regardless of race, class or crime. I know at least I am
@TPostMillennial He got the attention he was looking for on TT chronicling his "detransition" journey through "salvation". I followed him for a bit, hopeful that he truly had a salvation experience, but given all the fabrication allegations I stopped following but I'm still praying for him
90% of all the Africans that were enslaved were raided, captured, and delivered to the Europeans BY AFRICANS.
Before that, Africans had sold 10 million Africans to the Arabs during the Trans-Saharan Slave Trade.
The Arabs castrated their slaves.
Holding Europeans “accountable” for slavery is gravely misguided, and another attempt to fabricate an illusion of existential excuse for the consistent self-inflicted failure of Africans to self actualize.
Europeans didn’t invent slavery. Humans invented slavery.
Egyptians had slaves.
Babylonians had slaves.
Persians had slaves.
Greeks had slaves.
Romans had slaves.
The English had slaves.
Africans had slaves.
Humans were the first exchanged good amongst humans.
But slavery didn’t remain after the Europeans. Britain abolished slavery.
Britain lost around 2,000 naval officers on the sea enforcing abolition laws on African rulers who kept enslaving.
Britain paid around 20 million pounds to free all slaves. The only fully paid the loan this 2015.
No one should pay reparations for slavery. It is not the sin of any one group.
Africans shouldn’t use an event that occurred 400 years ago as an excuse for lack of self actualization.
@RichieMcGinniss @blaine_libert @ar13_substack@VinceCoglianese Honestly, I'm satisfied, given his own personal recordings that point to him being involved beyond just simple journalism, with him being arrested on a GJ indictment (at the direction of the magistrate judge that threw out the original charges). That is the example finally to me
@MaloriRabbi @Bsskibum @Timcast@majtoure You realize this photo is immediately after pretti shoved the agent right? Whether intentionally shoving or just pure reaction in the moment resulted in him being pepper sprayed. That's not him surrendering, he's trying to block the spray
@MaloriRabbi@GmorganJr "Remember when you" is NOT assumptive language, you talked out your tailpipe thinking you'd get away with it and got called out. You claim he believed it, now prove it or retract your accusation like a grown up
Sentiments of Venezuelans
I’m going to say this once, and I don’t care if it makes people uncomfortable.
If you have never lived in Venezuela
If you did not grow up there
If you did not watch your country collapse in real time
If you did not stand in food lines
If you did not watch your parents lose everything they built
If you did not have to leave your home with nothing
Then shut the fuck up.
You do not have an opinion.
Your opinion does not matter.
And you don’t get to lecture anyone about what’s happening there.
I’m Venezuelan.
I lived there most of my life until my early twenties.
I watched my country go from a functioning democracy to full blown socialism right in front of my eyes.
This is not politics to me.
This is trauma.
Before socialism, Venezuela was not perfect, but it worked.
There was trade.
There was money coming in.
There was investment from the US.
There were jobs.
There was food.
There was medicine.
My family had five businesses.
We had our home
We had investments.
We had a future.
Then the government started nationalizing everything.
Private companies were taken.
Foreign investors were pushed out.
Imports were blocked.
Price controls destroyed production.
Corruption exploded.
And everything died.
Not slowly.
Violently.
People didn’t suddenly become poor because of “capitalism” or “the US” or whatever bullshit slogan people like to repeat online.
They became poor because socialism destroyed incentives, destroyed production, destroyed trust, and destroyed hope.
People today in Venezuela are not debating ideology.
They are trying to survive.
They are trying to find food.
Trying to find medication.
Trying to keep their families alive.
So when I see people in the West posting from comfortable homes, full fridges, stable currencies, and safe streets talking about “imperialism” or “US bad” or “Trump this or that”
No.
It’s not complicated.
You’re just ignorant.
China is not rebuilding Venezuela.
Russia is not rebuilding Venezuela.
Cartels are not rebuilding Venezuela.
They are stealing.
They are extracting.
They are draining what’s left.
If the US comes in and reinvests
If refineries get rebuilt
If infrastructure gets restored
If imports open back up
If food, water, and medicine become accessible again
If people can work and earn with dignity
Then yes.
Let them take all the oil they want.
Because at least something gets built instead of destroyed.
This is something to celebrate.
Not because it’s perfect.
But because for the first time in a long time, there is hope.
Hope that families can eat.
Hope that people don’t have to flee their country.
Hope that Venezuela can function again.
If you’ve never lived through a country collapsing
If you’ve never watched socialism destroy everything around you
If you’ve never had to leave your home because staying meant starvation
Then again
Shut the fuck up.
This isn’t theory.
This isn’t politics.
This is lived experience.

@KSnetne@dreamworks2050@fiona_lali Tell me you didn't learn US international trade history, without telling me☝️(I'll give you a hint, before Chavez and Maduro Venezuela and the US had the most robust oil trade agreements in the world and Venezuela was a rich, powerful nation😱😱🤣)
🚨 Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet. We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! Its time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable
We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening, the fraud must be stopped.
@Cernovich I've seen a couple videos out of Portland where ICE is in the middle of arresting protesters and the police "providing support" letting them go after the ICE officers move onto another scuffle
@realtruthcactus Even more to the point, Jesus forgave the thief on the cross but didn't save his life. Forgiveness is about not harboring hate or revenge in our hearts and minds, but that doesn't negate the reasonable expectation of justice
