@DC_Draino@Guy80941571 There is very little difference between communism and socialism. Both involve you belonging to the state, being told what you can do with the money you earn. Both achieve equality by making you as poor as your neighbor.
Most people are taught a very simple story about American slavery.
But history is messier.
Anthony Johnson, a Black man from Angola, arrived in Virginia in 1621 as an indentured servant. He gained his freedom, became a landowner — and in 1655 won a court case to keep his
Black servant John Casor as his slave for life. This helped set an early legal precedent for chattel slavery.
In 1830 there were 3,775 free Black slave owners holding ~12,760 enslaved people.
Did you know this part of the story?
Does it change how you see the “simple” version we’re usually taught?

@BrianCostin@Roncohe54918265 Not for me anymore. I just sold my Illinois residence and bought one in Tennessee. JB and his criminal Democrats can kiss my ass. My cost of living just dropped $1200 a month. That is $14,400 per year!
@masteroreality@itsrosesm Bullshit. I had Healthcare insurance all my life until the unaffordable Healthcare Act made my premiums double and forced me to drop coverage for many years. I lost my coverage so some free loader could get it for free.
@JBPritzker Hey JB, as of June 1st I am no longer a tax slave to the State of Illinois! I am sitting in my camper in Tennessee while I look for a new home. My cost of living here is $1200 less per month. That's 14,400 every year! All this is thanks to Illinois Democrats.
@simonateba@elonmusk It doesn't bother me at all. It is foolish to envy what another has built. You might ask the thousands of people he employs how they feel, because Musk pays well.
@andreagail_k@Logically_JC Our Healthcare problems started in the 1940's when the FDR Admin introduced price controls that employers reacted to by providing Healthcare benefits to attract talent. Ever since they tried to fix the mess with more meddling in the free market. Government is not the solution.
@ModestyQueen19 We are a nation of laws not of race. Today if a white man defends himself he ends up prosecuted no matter what, just ask Kyle Rittenhouse. Justice is for all of us, not just for Whites or Blacks. If both had been Black or White this would not be an issue.
@DRC_CalMum@SparksN123 What is asinine is expecting removing guns will eliminate all those homicides, or even some. To assume this you have to believe murder rates will go down, they won't. Because of this Anti-gunners always take about gun deaths but never overall homicide rates.
