Slavery is one of those things that even the dog-whistliest Republicans know they have to vehemently condone, hence all the "Guess who started the KKK? That's right, liberals." deflection, but not on freep. They can't even pretend they wouldn't be the guy cracking the whip, and that guy's only justification is that it was legal at the time!

Duke Igthorn posted:"So I have read" should be appended to the end of every Freep sentence. What I get a kick out of is the blatantly wrong quote about Buddhism (first principle is literally "There is suffering*") sourced to an unnamed Buddhist monk. * The word is actually dukkha which is one of things that doesn't translate well, but basically covers anything from physical suffering to more existential forms.

Smiling Knight posted:Just picking out this from the pile of poo poo because it is so obviously wrong. The entire American Southwest was conquered via war from another indisputably sovereign state, as was Puerto Rico, Guantanamo, Wake and Midway and Guam. The Midwest, Florida, and Hawaii were seized from natives in a combination of wars and coercive treaties which were immediately broken. Did this individual simply not take 6th grade history? Literally the entire territory of the United States was acquired by warring on and forcibly relocating Native Americans. Like, all of it. Like I don't understand how ignorant of history you have to be to not realize that the origin of the United States is as colonies of the British Empire, as enshrined on our loving flag.

I recently got into it with my uncle on fb about discretionary spending and he brought up how (paraphrasing) '...all the great empires failed because people kept asking for more and more things from their government makers/takers, revisionist history, etc' and I'm wondering if I should nudge him towards freep to get him off my drat feed or if that kind of echo chamber will only make things worse.

If only the IRS had ways to search for sham organizations trying to abuse non-profit status. If only there was some way we could review their activities to decide if they are sufficiently apolitical and devoted to social causes to truly be considered tax-exempt. There are so many organizations like that, though. What would really be needed would be some key words to identify the most blatantly obvious fraudsters. Oh well.

I went to FReep looking for reactions to 12 Years a Slave winning best picture last night; instead, I found an even more precious gem: Example of Academic Indoctrination - White Privilege The OP is a transcript of a video the poster had to watch in class that seems to be a very basic look at the concept of white privilege. Other than identifying the characters in the video like (David) White American Male Speaker 1 and Mexican-Irish Male Speaker anytime they are mentioned, it's really just a boring, massive wall of text. The comments, however, go between what you'd expect: quote:To: madmominct quote:To: madmominct quote:To: madmominct And FReepers flexing their (atrophied) intellectual muscles: quote:To: madmominct quote:To: madmominct quote:To: madmominct quote:To: madmominct Edit: why can't apostraphes and quotation marks be normal

I swear I've heard "MY DAUGHTER worked at [charity] during college and told me about all the moochers..." at least five times already. Is it the same guy or is that just what they've figured out as the best case scenario to use for their stdh.txt complaints? I might be stdh.txting them and this is the first time they have used it but it really feels familiar and I really don't like actually going to their hate site to check.

Well, a minimum number of community service hours are a requirement at a lot of high schools now. So you have a lot of kids "volunteering" at these places when they really don't want to. I suspect that a Freeper often has lovely Freeper-lite children, who go to soup kitchens and charities and see what they want to see, or tell Dad waht he wants to hear. Or its just simple STDH. No way to know, I guess.
