Uh… decidedly not all going together, no. The US went apeshit over the Haitian revolution and passed massively more authoritarian slave laws at the time.

Revolutionary (well, post-Revolutionary Napoleonic) France demanding payment for "lost property" (you know, the enslaved people who liberated themselves) in the millions of francs was the start of two hundred years of the anglophone and francophone loving over of Haiti to rob it constantly. It's also what makes "oh France doesn't care about color as much" kind of a joke statement. Yeah some descendants of Africans have integrated and done well in France; individuals succeed everywhere. They sure as gently caress don't magically have any less systemic white supremacy than the US or the rest of Europe, though.

If a lady doesn't like a particular term, the gentlemanly thing to do is not use that term. It may be a term that is more acceptable in some circles than others, it's easy enough not to use.

I'll take the mea culpa.

Today I was visiting my very elderly, religious grandma and i brought up transgenders just because I thought her reaction would be funny. Our conversation basically went like this:

Me: (smirking) Grandma, what do you think about transgender people? Like, you know those men who get surgery to try to become women?

Grandma: (Shaking head) People nowadays are crazy! People need to learn accept with what they have!! They need to learn to be happy with what they have!

I laughed at first because this is a very simplistic take on the transgender problem...but the more I think about it the more I think it actually speaks to the core of the issue.

Transgenders refuse to appreciate the reality of what they are. They are so jealous of the opposite sex that they want to hijack it and twist it around until they can pretend to be part of it. They are so dissatisfied with themselves that they throw almighty tantrums every time they hear women speaking about feminine things that they as men can't experience

Someone in a Facebook group I'm a member of posted a picture of their young daughter and her teacher in their Halloween costumes. The teacher was obviously trans, so that made me wonder. What would you do if you brought your young child to class on the first day of school and the teacher was trans?

Would you have them moved to another class? If that wasn't an option, would you go move them to another school entirely? Personally, I wouldn't be comfortable with that at all and would do whatever necessary to have my child taken out of the class.

That whole post is kind of drivel. Hell he writes of Bolivar based on very very vague accusations of favoring white aristocrats but the only real proof of that is that he happened to punish one of his mixed race officers unusually harshly for him

Your chronology about Haiti is pretty hosed up, but uh, I definitely didn’t say that the US was good to Haiti at any point or that France is a racism-free paradise.

The revolutions definitely do go together though, in that they all happen at the same time and in the same places and many of the major players meet each other and collaborate (or fight). That uh, doesn’t mean everything turned out well for everyone. I kinda said as much.

It's same sort of reasoning as religious nuts employ.

France is like the dumbest euro country to apply an ethnic standard to. There were more tolerant countries but they were tolerant in the sense of “we will not ethnically cleanse or forcibly convert you weird foreigners” whereas France pioneered the idea of a nationality transcending race entirely.

Their best soldiers come from random nationalities and backgrounds, if they take a shot for France they immediately become official Frenchmen, "Français par le sang versé". The French don't always like it I guess.

Controversy is a marketing strategy. The only way to stay on top of the pile of poo poo is to make sure you stink more than all the other turds. If a decent part of what you do involves people knowing your name and you have no dignity then this is a stellar way to stay current.

Of course you get the Trump / Giuliani brain worms types in there too so you need to keep up with those who live and breath it.

It was a typo filled rant about how a witness in the Epstein business was 17 not 14 when she was sexually trafficked and therefore is lying about Tipper and Al Gore going to Epstein's island.

Dersh was saying that ABC was correct in not believing one of the witnesses because "tipper and all gore" were never on the island and she was 17 according to her "employment records" and not 14 as presumably fits the actual timeline of, like, y'know, time

E: He fixed the multiple embarrassing typos
