@ConstitutionLo1 @EdKrassen @vancemurphy With impossibly few exceptions, trans kids are telling the truth and know what they’re talking about. After YEARS AND YEARS of required therapy and consultation, I trust them and their parents to make important medical decisions for them, yes.

@6gunsamurai @KevinJo84559649 @AKfortySlevin @ninaturner I come from a family of wealth managers, a billion dollars is not a trillion dollars

@magurgle @LeftwardSwing @ThatCapitalist @Capitalistbro @Timcast Say what you will about Cuba, but they’ve effectively eradicated severe poverty.

@TVDude90 @Hockeyfollower7 @jesusandliberty @Timcast Markets and assets still exist outside of capitalism. I can’t believe we have to say this every time this comes up.

@mballinza @pdeqx @BadEmpanada Well put, guy who has never been creative ever

[Ben Anstoetter @sector_3700]

@BadEmpanada @tony_caulfield3 @MakThatGuy This technology isn’t meant to ‘right the artistic wrongs of the past’ as you’re suggesting, it’s just meant to be creative and fun.

@StephanTruckin @AKfortySlevin @ninaturner Again, not a punishment, restorative justice. What is just one alternative solution?

[Ben Anstoetter @sector_3700]

@StephanTruckin @AKfortySlevin @ninaturner Here’s something that isn’t irrelevant: it’s not racist at all, and no one has presented an alternative for restoring stolen generational wealth to black people in America, a moral imperative.

[Ben Anstoetter @sector_3700]

@WallStreetSilv Oh no! Anyway..

[Ben Anstoetter @sector_3700]

@StephanTruckin @AKfortySlevin @ninaturner Is it as racist as enslaving Africans for 400 years?

[Ben Anstoetter @sector_3700]

@StephanTruckin @AKfortySlevin @ninaturner This isn’t about specific families, it’s an explicit societal do over. Blacks did all the work, blacks get all the money

[Ben Anstoetter @sector_3700]

@AKfortySlevin @ninaturner If the wealth doesn’t matter then just return it. It’s no big deal, right?

[Ben Anstoetter @sector_3700]

@ComedyConley @KevinJo84559649 @AKfortySlevin @ninaturner How would you characterize profiting from slavery, and how would you differentiate it from stealing?

[Ben Anstoetter @sector_3700]

@ComedyConley @AKfortySlevin @ninaturner Just because their boss gave them money doesn’t mean it was theirs to give

[Ben Anstoetter @sector_3700]

@ComedyConley @AKfortySlevin @ninaturner A white guy that benefited from slavery gave your family money. There’s virtually no wealth in America untouched in some way by slave labor.

[Ben Anstoetter @sector_3700]

@ComedyConley @KevinJo84559649 @AKfortySlevin @ninaturner That’s the value of the stolen wealth, yes

[Ben Anstoetter @sector_3700]

@ComedyConley @AKfortySlevin @ninaturner You, specifically you, have wealth that belongs to black people. How do we resolve?

[Ben Anstoetter @sector_3700]

@ComedyConley @5_minutes_ag0 @AKfortySlevin @ninaturner We all profited from it. My family had a 300 year jump start on generational wealth that black families did not.

[Ben Anstoetter @sector_3700]

@ComedyConley @AKfortySlevin @ninaturner So the solution is…

[Ben Anstoetter @sector_3700]

@5_minutes_ag0 @Merrill_Art @AKfortySlevin @ninaturner As a portion of the population this is like saying “only 8,000 CEOs are presently benefitting from slavery, not a big deal”

It’s an alarming amount
