    It was illegal to have a revolution against the British Empire and create the United States. Legalists are some of the dumbest people on the entire planet of earth.

        It reminds me of that old kid's book about the goose who decided they were smart because they owned a book, and didn't even think of reading the book until they got hurt after making some very confident and obviously false statements.

        At least legalists deposit their morality in actual laws that are enforced in the real world. "Anarcho"-capitalists do the same but for a make-believe law dreamt up in the minds of sadists, nonces and psychopaths like Rand and Rothbart.

    :jb-shining: What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little slaver? I’ll have you know I studied with abolitionist Elizur Wright, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on slave plantations, and I have over 7 confirmed kills.

    I am trained in breechloaders and I'm a top marksman with .52 caliber Beecher's Bibles. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words.

    You think you can get away with saying that white supremacist shit? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of Underground Railroad operatives across the south and your plantation's home address is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, sinner. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands.

    Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of Sharps rifles and pikes and I will use them to their full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of Creation, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue.

    But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it.

    You’re fucking dead, kiddo. :JB-shining-aggro:

    "At the time the industrial extermination of Jews, Slavs, Roma homosexuals, and the disabled was legal, so no... and it's illegal to kill people so... No. The Allies were not right."

    Even when chattel slavery was illegal, they didn't stop doing it. Check out my last post. The slaveowners are probably still alive. John Brown is needed now more than ever.

      The Clintons Had Slaves

      Clinton was, however, generous enough to allow inmates from Arkansas prisons to work as unpaid servants in the Governor’s Mansion. In It Takes a Village, Hillary Clinton writes that the residence was staffed with “African-American men in their thirties,” since “using prison labor at the governor’s mansion was a longstanding tradition, which kept down costs.” It is unclear just how longstanding the tradition of having chained black laborers brought to work as maids and gardeners had been. But one has no doubt that as the white residents of a mansion staffed with unpaid blacks, the Clintons were continuing a certain historic Southern practice. (Hillary Clinton did note, however, that she and Bill were sure not to show undue lenience to the sla…servants, writing that “[w]e enforced rules strictly and sent back to prison any inmate who broke a rule.”

    I read about an egg farm that tricked a bunch of kids into coming from LatAm and then made them work on the farm, basically slaves in every single way. I think they were caught around 2015. Not the kind of generational "peonage" described in the article, but still...child slavery (and probably much worse) just for like eggs.

      I believe Nestle got busted for doing this a while back as well.

      Nestle and Cargill win child slavery case at Supreme Court

      • The Supreme Court reversed a lower-court ruling that had allowed six men to sue Nestle USA and Cargill over claims they were trafficked as child slaves to farms in the West African nation of Ivory Coast that supply cocoa to the two giant food companies.

      • Justice Clarence Thomas, writing for the majority, said the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit had erred in allowing the suit on the grounds that Nestle and Cargill had allegedly made “major operational decisions” in the United States.

      • The six individuals had sued under the Alien Tort Statute.
