imagine how thoroughly dehumanized you are and/or bereft of any human sentiment or connection with your oppressors to do something like that. i wonder if it’s borne entirely from the level of cruelty visited upon them by the oppressor class as much as it’s just the accepted rules of engagement for both sides? Haitian revolution also had many examples like this; my gut says it’s the level of disparity that drives it; to see them living so well while you are so low, and you knowing that this is what they expect of you anyway.

an interesting counter example is the lack of similar examples in American slaveholding states. there were constant rumors and even panics over slave revolts, which were almost unheard of in reality. and I haven’t heard of really any stories of slave revenge against the former master about the US either.

If anything this makes it seem that the account above and the accounts of the haitian revolution were fabrications to dehumanize the rebellious serfs or freedom fighting haitians. Im figuring in the antebellum south there were similar stories about the slave rebellions too to garner support for perpetuating the system. But IANAH

oh no I think the worries and anxieties over rumors of slave rebellions were very real. I read one account of one for a class years ago, and have tried to find it again on JSTOR since then, that was a story about an antebellum community seized in a panic on Christmas Eve over a rumor of a slave revolt. so based on very sketchy rumors, all the white people ran out to the woods, built barricades, and shivered the night away while the slaves were not in fact revolting but apparently having a nicer-than-usual Christmas since all the racist owners ran away for some reason. so a bunch of paranoid white people became so freaked out due to the delusional reaction to bad information that formed as a result of a real, instinctively-understood injustice they were perpetrating that they ruined their own Christmas. it was an amazing account, I wish I could find it again.

I mean, look at how serious conservatives on twitter, just ordinary folk, take poo poo like krangtnelson�s Antifa Supersoldier poo poo. that even ended up in some kind of federal law enforcement doc I think. people can be real dumb and default to accepting any even hint of a threat as a big deal. anxiety like this probably made sense to our prehistoric ancestors when being hypersensitive to signs of predators helped survival, but it has really had some wide-ranging and I think under appreciated affects on modern human societies.

Except for the first one where is the fart from the 90s is wearing a full flag around his neck.

But it could be worse like trucks and motorcycles flying real flags and it's just ripped to tatters.

What was even better was the flag a rolling coal truck was flying and the flag was just scummed up with the best burning hydrocarbons

i mean technically it doesn't apply to anything bc it's all grossly unconstitutional and legally unenforceable. but:

The words "flag, standard, colors, or ensign", as used herein, shall include any flag, standard, colors, ensign, or any picture or representation of either, or of any part or parts of either, made of any substance or represented on any substance, of any size evidently purporting to be either of said flag, standard, colors, or ensign of the United States of America or a picture or a representation of either, upon which shall be shown the colors, the stars and the stripes, in any number of either thereof, or of any part or parts of either, by which the average person seeing the same without deliberation may believe the same to represent the flag, colors, standard, or ensign of the United States of America.

in Richmond, Gabriel Prosser had plans to seize the state militia armory, kill the governor and as many slave holders as possible immediately, then use the arms to foment a general insurrection throughout the south

he doesn't get enough recognition because of some controversy over interpreting his motivations due to a general lack of extant evidence but imo people who claim he was a disorganized planner of a series of murders rather than a potential insurrectionist with plans are basically racist, iirc he was a skilled laborer who interacted with poor white workers regularly and may have been literate, he had plan

That was Denmark Vesey.

quote:

Denmark Vesey (also Telemaque) (ca. 1767 � July 2, 1822) was a literate, skilled carpenter and leader among African Americans in Charleston, South Carolina. He was accused and convicted of being the ringleader of "the rising," a major potential slave revolt planned for the city in June 1822; he was executed. Likely born into slavery in St. Thomas, he served a master in Bermuda for some time before being brought to Charleston, where he gained his freedom.

Vesey won a lottery and purchased his freedom around the age of 32. He had a good business and a family, but was unable to buy his first wife Beck and their children out of slavery. Vesey became active in the Second Presbyterian Church; in 1818 he was among the founders of an independent African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church in the city, which had the support of white clergy. It rapidly attracted 1,848 members, making this the second-largest AME congregation in the nation after Mother Bethel in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

In 1822 Vesey was alleged to be the ringleader of a planned slave revolt. Vesey and his followers were said to be planning to kill slaveholders in Charleston, liberate the slaves, and sail to the black republic of Haiti for refuge. By some accounts, it would have involved thousands of slaves in the city and others on plantations miles away. City officials had a militia arrest the plot's leaders and many suspected followers in June before the rising could begin. Not one white person was killed or injured.

Vesey and five slaves were among the first group of men rapidly judged guilty by the secret proceedings of a city-appointed Court and condemned to death; they were executed by hanging on July 2, 1822. Vesey was about 55 years old. In later proceedings, some 30 additional followers were executed. His son was also judged guilty of conspiracy and was deported from the United States, along with many others. The church was destroyed and its minister expelled from the city.
