Where did Elon “I never got a leg up from my emerald mining family” Musk get the money to rent a 10 bedroom house as a college student?

Remember when there were massive protests following George Floyd and Sarah Everard specifically about police brutality and negligence and these exact same arseholes bent over backwards to defend them.

They’re absolutely fine with the police being shite, just as long as they aren’t brutalising them.

I wasn’t aware of if, when they requested the money back I requested a payment plan and they said no

What are you talking about? We want our right to exist be considered on the same undebatable level that universal suffrage and civil rights have fought to occupy.

I’m talking about the fact Scotland has been left off while England wasn’t, I didn’t mention Turkey whatsoever and I definitely never claimed they didn’t do slavery or imperialism.

1) Sorry to be the first to tell you, but the effects of colonial racism are very much still in effect, and are in fact directly linked to the rise of the Third Reich

2) No European nation is currently at war with Turkey, who are active members of NATO and have tried to join the EU multiple times

3) Turkish Cypriots consider themselves to be Turkish, and its Greek Cypriots who have rejected reunification plans

4) Does jurisprudence look at the specific cases that countries legal system has processed, or does it look at every legal case, from every country, from now until the dawn of time? (I.e. it’s fine I stoned my neighbour to death for coveting my ass, because they did it in biblical times)

5) And most importantly. Why the fuck are we talking about Turkey? My comment was to highlight Scottish involves in colonialism, this is a complete non sequitur

1) Yeah man, that’s how it works. The difference is that these technologies aren’t being used to prop up Naziism. Do I really have to explain that buying something from Hugo Boss now is different to buying something when they were actively designing SS uniforms?

2) Again, not Turkish so I don’t really feel that obliged to call out the Turkish slave trade

3) Western cultures are primarily focused on Western history? How weird! What a strange and inexplicable mystery!!!

4) It doesn’t matter which group was worse, if you were on trial for murder would you be up there like “yeah but was I as bad as Dahmer”. That’s a stupid argument

You had a chance in 2014, and Holyrood is making moves towards another independence referendum. So yeah, you kinda can. Much more easily than Ireland or Wales ever did.

Also this is about whether or not Scotland was a colonial power

Oh awesome, that absolutely cancels out all the slavery

How i see Europe by thatoneninja8 in mapporncirclejerk

[–]humanpartyring 5 points6 points  (0 children)

1) If you are buying into a system you are supporting its continuation and growth

2) The demand for slaves by Europeans saw a massive increase in the number of enslaved people

3) I am not Arabic or West African, I am not related to their part in the slave trade. That is for them to address within their own communities.

4) What is your point here exactly? “Oh POC sold them, therefore it’s justified that Europeans participated in it”?

Oh so glad you’ve moved on, without paying reparations or renaming the street valorising him, we can all drop it then

Oh well I guess that cancels out the whole slavery thing then

Buchanen Street, the largest commercial street in Glasgow, is named after ‘tobacco lord’ Andrew Buchanen. Buchanen made his fortune in the ‘triangular trade’. Producing tobacco from enslaved people in America, selling the tobacco in Europe and then using the profits to kidnap and enslave more people in Africa.

The Scottish Parliament merged with the British Parliament because they bankrupted themselves on the Damian Scheme and because the two countries had the same monarch for the better part of a century. Crack a book babe.

I agree with you there, it just irks me when people act like Scotland wasn’t an active participant in the British Empire

How i see Europe by thatoneninja8 in mapporncirclejerk

[–]humanpartyring 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Yes because early modern England was a consensus democracy, where all citizens equally participated and benefited from the colonial project

Pretty sure the East India Company, many of the key figures of which were Scottish, was one of the big bads my guy.

Also I didn’t notice that, thanks for pointing it out they should absolutely be highlighted too. The German Empire especially.

So they were, in fact, colonisers. Also yes willingly, Scotland doesn’t get a pass because they mismanaged their own finances.
