You can't run a competitive or even a particularly functional economy on the backs of slave labor. The American industrialists of the 18th century understood this, their idiot coked up failson descendants do not. Or at the very least they were smart enough to keep the JP Morgans of their day on a somewhat tight leash.

I do tend to think that liberals and the failson class doesn't understand that slavery has a lot to do with labour, I feel like they approach it from a cultural perspective of race and superiority rather than one of production

Slavery is absolutely the most profitable form of labour when it's dangerous, high intensity and doesn't require mobility or education.

Slavery is absolutely the most profitable form of labour when it's dangerous, high intensity and doesn't require mobility or education. Not gonna help when educated and decently treated free men/women in China can produce twice as much for half the cost using carefully built infrastructure, technology and a state that isn't comfortable instantly at war with it's own people to make sure it all works right. Edit: Expanding slavery beyond it's current bounds in the west would in many ways represent a sort of economic transition I don't think the rich could pull off without jettisoning a large portion of their current class. Like however many rich can be materially supported at the moment I think it'd be a lot less if they actually ripped poo poo that far apart and their margin is would shrink massively, with literally zero runway since they'd already have it all to start with. Like if anything enslaving the US population at any amount high enough to matter would probably finish them off faster than just pretending everything is okay. thechosenone has issued a correction as of 02:40 on Feb 13, 2024 |

stephenthinkpad posted:China dodged a huge bullet just around time when W and the deep state was setting up the condition to increase confrontation with China, 911 happened. In the year before 2001 there was the plane collide incident and increasingly more US spy planes flying right outside of the China airspace. Not to you in particular but how does this jibe with Bush doing 9/11?

He was just part of the hawks that thought it was a golden opportunity to do a couple rounds of crusade on ME. I am of the opinion that ME has suffered way more imperial attacks than other regions because of the religious history and physical proximity to the Western core.

Bandar Bush's wife, who is the sister of the former head of the Saudi GIP who resigned 10 days before 9/11, is implicated fairly solidly in funding some of the hijackers, just one example of how the line between "did it" and "let it happen" is blurry enough to be meaningless. Make this the 9/11, covid, and Ukraine thread.

His father was Bogdan Daszak, who was at the very least a Nazi sympathizer if not collaborator.
