Personally, I doubt that most enslavers would be killed had they been turned over to their newly-liberated slaves. Why act out in aggression when you’ve just won what you would have killed for before?

Even so, you as the enslaver have cast the dice and been shown mercy. Can’t really sell that whole ‘Black retribution’ bullshit when the moment has come and gone without occurrance. I agree, turning the land over to the enslaved and letting them decide the fate of the enslavers would’ve done the US a load of good.

JFK, probably.

For anyone who is working in the oil industry: as things get worse and more people are impacted by climate change more and more, you’re who those effected will come after. Not the CEOs high up and out of reach - it’s gonna be you guys operating the rigs, inspecting the pipelines, driving the tankers, operating the plants, and crunching the numbers. It’s going to be you who gets targeted because you’re the ones with the logo stamped on your uniforms.

Yeah, mostly. I understand they were politically very different. My main lense I was looking through in this case was progressive policy vs regressive policy.

Could trump be our hoover/Reagan and Walz end up being our Roosevelt/Gore?

History rhymes, but I’m not saying we’re gonna see ground breaking changes that bring the federal government back from the brink. Walz just seems like a possible candidate for garnering mass approval across the board and potentially unopposed enough to social programs to maybe implement some.

The logistics chain doesn’t end at the border of the US military-industrial complex. Everyone in the US is culpable. We all assist in one way or another to keep this war machine running. We are impelled to do so via the coercion of the system, just as the soldiers are. We’re all criminals.
