@npcArts Yes
But I imagine slavery wouldn't have ended in the CSA for at least 20, maybe 30 years. Hell, they may have adapted it to an industrial base, as it was during serfdom in Russia from the Industrial Revolution until the 1860s
@npcArts Yes, I know that.
If there was a movement to end slavery in the middle east and North Africa, I would support it. But this government would never do it because it is systemically corrupt and would never accomplish its goal.
@npcArts If it's to end slavery in those countries, gladly. But that isn't the purpose of the US invading the Middle East now, is it?
No one has a right to practice slavery
@npcArts I didn't deny it was authoritarian. But the principle leaders and upper class of the CSA openly supported slavery and racism.
If I have to be a little authoritarian to stop slavery, I will.
@npcArts It's better to destroy and subjugate an openly racist institution than to let ot perpetuate. That is the maximum concession I can give to authoritarianism.
@npcArts Listen. I can be against the idea of the Confederate States of America, the leaders of which claimed African American were an inferior race, and for the right succession.
@denverbitcoin You have the right to think that, but you haven't experienced that yourself. I can say I've experienced the corruption of police firsthand.
@LoneStarDon They won't vote for anarchy because both parties are authoritarian in nature and are very similar to each other if you look at the details.
@denverbitcoin The entire country isn't made up of white supremacists and nazis. But policing as an institution has been systemically corrupt for decades, especially in large cities.
When people say all cops are bad, they're attacking the institution of policing, not literally every badge.
@npcArts And let a system of slavery continue on the continent? Yeah, I don't agree with that. I also disagree with the Framers' "right" to slavery. They weren't necessarily good people and I disagree with them on a lot.
But if you don't agree the war was fought over slavery, you're wrong
