The USA founders kept children as sex slaves? Details on this?

[–] Not_mikey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 28 minutes ago

Were the Virginia planters keeping sex slaves capitalists though? Most of the capitalists at the time were up north where slavery was illegal by the founding.

Lol, they want Clinton to be as dirty as Trump so badly.

Nice fantasy world you’re living in.

lol, libs want to cling to the idea that their oligarchs are the good ones so badly

For liberals, and right wing in general, it's just another Red Team vs. Blue Team match with political flavor.

There is a world of room between “good” and “ran a child sex trafficking ring”. Clinton may be a POS for many reasons and he may have visited Epstine island and maybe even raped children (we don’t know at this point but anyone in the flight logs is sus). That is all absolutely terrible but it’s still very different than kidnapping 10’s or hundreds of children to rape and pimp. And the files seem to indicate that Trump was actively involved in this scheme for decades.

Seems to me that once you reach raping children stages there's no need to split hairs further.

[–] xtr0n@sh.itjust.works 2 points 15 minutes ago

Fair. I do think scale is sometime important. A single murder is not a genocide. But I can see your POV.

Regardless, Clinton is awful but IDK what he did on the island. If he did rape kids then I hope they throw his ass in jail.

Doesn't this apply to almost every country?

[–] frightful_hobgoblin@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

projecting lol

Americans are always amazed that different countries have different histories.

I've heard similar things about "aren't all countries founded on native genocide?"

[–] Alwaysnownevernotme@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Ok tell me about the country with the moral founding.

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 1 points 26 minutes ago (1 children)

This silly, idealist question isn’t the gotcha you think it is.

[–] Alwaysnownevernotme@lemmy.world 1 points 3 minutes ago

Actually it's pretty foundational anarchist doctrine.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 13 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

certainly true for capitalist ones

Oh look, on of my favorite trolls crawls out of his hole again after long slumber. Last I checked, Beria was executed while your oligarchs continue to be untouchable. Thank your for providing us with a concrete example of the Soviet system being superior.

[–] QinShiHuangsShlong@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 hour ago

Allegations from Montefiore famous for lying about having access to unreleased Soviet archives, being a rabid anti-communist and being best friends with Ghislaine Maxwell. Certainly not the most reliable source.

no, he's actually both wrong and dishonest in making a false equivalence there

[–] poVoq@slrpnk.net -1 points 15 minutes ago* (last edited 14 minutes ago) (1 children)

That's rich being accused of whataboutism by you 😅

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 2 points 12 minutes ago

when you definitely know what false equivalence is 🤣
