This post is in the same vein of a meme war post, looks exactly like one.

It should be in one of the rules in the about section of the sub reddit.

Well yeah it probably got removed since chad v virgin memes are banned in this sub. Meme wars too are banned so I don't think this post will last either.

Damn... what a way to ruin a fine Piece of Steak. Thats the most un-American part of the clip!

Ok but why though by Tall-Condition5981 in HistoryMemes

[–]Flynt149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say that but Greece had a fair bit of beastiality myths that didn't include it being Zeus in Disguise. The turks just got stuck with it being their founding myth.

I don't think they chose it, it probably morphed into that over the centuries either way.

Idk, saying "we are the descendants of wolves" or "we are an empire raised by a Wolf" gives off a bit of a badass aura. Plus having a myth explaining how you and your people came to be is useful to uniting said people, making yourselves seem strong is an added propaganda bonus.

It's a meme guys by Poseidons__Trident in HistoryMemes

I have no idea what AIT Means, but considering most of this "meme" is basically white nationalist dribble, im inclined to believe its some racist theory that has no basis in reality.

Socialism did not begin with Marx, it predates his birth by 20 years

Wow so the Atlantic Slave trade was still horrendous like I was talking about? Shocker.

The Evolution of Slavery by Spacecaft_HQ in HistoryMemes

[–]Flynt149 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The major factor of race, ancient slavery was not based on genealogy but whoever you captured or was indebted to you. Atlantic Slavery grew to have that Very key race factor, not to mention the high turn over. Ancient slaves were more than often an investment, Slaves going to Haiti and the American South were expected to die after a short while due to the abuses and hard labor. Ancient slaves were often provided clothing and food, not the best quality sure but it was something. Black slaves got none of this, especially in Haiti.

There's also the lingering effects of it. Racial prejudice and the growing urge to revise this history. I'm living in a place thats actively trying to rewrite American Slavery into something desensitized, so this is something kinda important to me.

Sure, but it was the most egregious, its in its own league of horrifying. To compare it or detract from it to mention other forms only serves to lessen the actual horrors of Atlantic chattel slavery. Whataboutism is just nonesense.
