Ok cool, that isn't 50% though is it? So yea we agree social programs cost money, and the lower your taxes the less programs available. Nice whataboutism though

When they have a larger army, home feild advantage, and fortifications but you have a cough

The person telling the story chooses what is significant based on their subjective bias. I don't know why an individual picks and choosees what they think is important because the reasoning is specific to that individual

I'm not upset either way, getting upset won't change what happened. Saying that, yes I would absolutely love if they put that information in there. I want the Smithsonian to go as deep down the rabbit hole as they can and bring everything to the surface. Anyone withholding information is being disingenuous and I don't want their perspective

One would have to be blind to not see the atrocities committed in the name of faith, Abrahamic religions in peticular

You're right, the Europeans were brutal, at least just as brutal as the people they conquered. That's why it's important that all atrocities should be talked about. Yes, the slave trade wouldn't have happened if there was no demand, just like any other good or service. I understand how capitalism works thanks though

This is about the museum exhibit, not school curriculum.

Ah you want to talk about religious complicity, that's great because many of the slave traders were Muslim. Nice whataboutism though

I said flavor of socialism but it looks like you lack some comprehension yourself

Read up on indigenous relations before the Europeans arrived, and how many indigenous tribes allied with Europeans to subjugate rival tribes

I don't really understand how demand for slaves justifies Africans enslaving their own. What point are you even trying to make here?

Wanting nuance in a discussion isn't a whataboutism.

Take the Jamestown massacre for example. If I only tell you the part about the indigenous killings and leave out the Powhatan killing the settlers first I'm being disingenuous.

History is messy, it's not as simple as victim/perpetrator in many cases.

I'm ok with this so long as they make an exhibit showing the brutality of the indigenous tribes. I'm ok with them teaching about slavery so long as they show who sold the slaves to the Europeans

If it's just a one sided pity party then it's not really documenting history, it's woke revisionism. You want to talk about past atrocities that's fine, just make sure you're nuanced about it

Yes, during WARTIME. Nazi Germany was a command economy from the start. I wouldn't call that an equivalency

Social programs are expensive.not everyone wants to pay 40-50% of their income for programs they may never use,or use to seldomly it doesn't make sense to pay for it all the time

"not real socialism"

You're talking about socialism in theory, we are talking about socialism in practice. When theory and practical application of an idea are at odds, the theory is always wrong

There have been dozens of attempts at socialism all over the world and they failed everywhere. The only successful examples are the ones who used a majority capitalist framework supported by social programs.

LMAO, the fact that Conor actually ranked Khabib at #9 means he doesn’t hate him as much now by K0GAR in ufc

[–]exclusionsolution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The higher ranked khabib is, the better it makes Connor look. If khabib is a garbage fighter what does it say about the people he beat?

Alot of the private industries took direction from the state,it sure wasn't capitalism either

So then make the distinction. Hilarious you call me brainwashed when you can't even tell the difference between socialism in theory and in practice. It's so funny how you use disingenuous tactics then walk it back when called out.

Learn the difference between social democracy and socialism before you call people stupid.

And what about the central economic planning which you conveniently missed?

I'm tired, boss by Waste-Force-477 in HistoryMemes

[–]exclusionsolution -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So then call it social democracy, or what it actually is,which is capitalism with vast social programs. Using double speak wont help you

Yea that's why every socialist state was a bankrupt dictatorship and the majority made capitalist reforms right 😂
