I remember my barber telling me: "yeah nah if you weren't balding by 30, you'll never go bald" and I just said: "Ma'm I'm 23."

Those e-mails where Sidney Blumenthal informed her U.S. allies were genociding black towns wholesale in Libya, right? I assume that was too long to put on a hat.

There has been no point in either of our lifetimes where U.S. allies haven't been publicly known to be genociding people wholesale all over the planet. The American voter really doesn't care about such things.

Male balding is also a sign of high testosterone so turn that into a motivation to get ripped since you have the genes for it.

Well obviously, I just think each mention of that catchphrase should be appended with the fact they proved her personal complicity in genocide.

the american slavers who felt that liberalism should be accomplished by means of a slave race had a fight over doctrine with the american and european nonslavers who felt that liberalism should be accomplished by means of a slave caste of the poor (whose children were stolen from them from infancy and sent to work, were given no education, and could be killed by their masters with it only assessed as a property crime not at all dissimilarly) instead

it had nothing to do with differing opinions about capitalism, just differing opinions about how to go about the eugenicist ideals of the liberal project

definitely not saying anything negative about the abolitionists who by and large were not liberals

the shame is not that the southern aristocratic sandcastle was kicked over but that it didn't loving stay buried and that the rest of the liberal project wasn't burned to ashes and scattered into the sea

Marx very clearly delineated slavery as a precapitalist exploitive social structure that class struggle eventually overturned into feudalism(which was itself often overturned into capitalism).

In that framing, The capitalists being anti-slavery makes sense because they were liberals benefiting from the struggles of the past, thus seeing it as a moral inevitability, and the slavers being anti capitalism is obvious.

Slavers loving despised Marx lol, but I mean so did a whole lot of the anti-slavery people, just for nominally different reasons. He was pen pals with Lincoln and wrote in the New York Tribune about it and the ACW. The NYT owes its existence now to Marx because he made some rich guy so mad he dumped a bunch of money into it to elevate it as a pro-capitalism alternative

the slavery of the ancient world and the slavery of the antebellum south were very different structures and the latter most certainly did not predate feudalism

but most importantly the liberals were not benefiting from anything because both sides of this argument were liberals

calhoun was just as much heir to locke as any of his contemporaries

e: there were plenty of people who opposed southern slavery because it was a loving blight on humanity, but also it was an intra-liberal struggle

yeah definitely, just slavery as the social structure and mode of production in europe that was replaced by serfdom, feudalism, manorialism etc, was not equivalent to slavery in 19th century america

I don't think anyone who thinks keeping people in bondage is okay really meets the genuine definition of liberal.

Like, you can see the similarities between dough face pieces of poo poo and today's democratic party, but that doesn't make them liberal.
