@WallStreetApes Democrats believe "good" people like themselves shouldn't have to obey laws that are inconvenient for them. Only people who Democrats don't like should be held accountable.
The Northern part of North America was still recovering from the last ice age and nowhere near as populus as areas to the south. There were Scandinavians settled in Greenland for hundreds of years before they were genocided by Inuit migrating in from the north. If the Inuit contracted diseases that prevailed in the warmer parts of the world, they obviously didn't have enough contact with other tribes for plagues to spread southward to more densely populated areas.
If any people had reached the Americas from Asia or Africa they would have brought their endemic diseases with them. If native Americans had developed the technology to travel across oceans, which you believe they would always be incapable of, they would have brought human diseases back with them. Pandemics occur because the disease organisms are able to spread efficiently. Were you asleep during the covid pandemic and that wasn't even a particularly deadly virus.
The native Americans had no immunity to the deadly diseases that raged in turn through Africa Europe and Asia for centuries, leaving genetic protection in the survivors. But to say that Europeans were responsible for the deaths of native Americans implies that only white people would ever be capable of inventing technology that crossed the oceans. Talk about your "White Supremacy!"
@Truman_02@Serenity_Stock@timelessfaithh Spain and Portugal learned how to deal with conquered people from the Muslims who invaded, conquered and colonized them. They were oppressed for centuries before they were finally able to free themselves from Islamic rule. Maybe a national trauma leaves a mark on the victims?
@Now_we_Revolt Employee ownership is only possible under a capitalist system. Under a marxist system like socialism or communism the government owns the means of production and the employees are helpless captives with no control over their own lives.
@fromastairwell@Devon_Eriksen_@Jvillesfinest The director is a political appointee. The agencies are staffed by career civil service employees--the permanent bureaucracy. Didn't you know?
@fromastairwell@Devon_Eriksen_@Jvillesfinest Why do you think I would like or trust Trump just because I appreciate some of the issues he raises? My complaints against Democrats stem from their betrayal. Lie to me and I laugh at you--we can still be friends. Lie to me and I believe you--that changes everything.
Leftists try to use any power they possess to perpetuate their own world view to the exclusion of any other. You don't understand, there are people on the right who are willing or even eager for alternate views to be aired and discussed--difference between people who want to promote their cult and people who want to search for truth.
The bureaucracy is set up for its own self interest and there have been too many instances where it has been shown to meddle in politics for it to be trusted over actual lived experience. Academia provides a window on how statistics can be manipulated. "fun with numbers" because the only ones you can really trust are the ones you are able to curate yourself.
