The fundamental problem with your question is the perception that there are these prescribed stages of development and each stage is an advancement on the previous.

Instead, the indigenous peoples in the world were just as “advanced” as the colonizers who slaughtered and enslaved them. They were not on different stages of a tech tree like in a game, they just developed different societies.

So of course slavery was not necessary because there is no such thing as necessary advancement. Even if you argue that advancements in medicine requires more modern modes of production, places like Cuba or the Soviet Union skipped or sped through or skirted around or limitidly used Capitalism and still developed incredible health programs. So then capitalism isn’t even necessary for technological advancement in that way, let alone slavery.

The power dynamic IS the fact that you and you alone have a choice in how this relationship works (landlord/tenant vs flatmate/flatmate). Wild that after “managing” to own property you would start using your power to twist relationships to your own end. Who would have guessed a landlord would be power tripping and shady

If you don’t like the “lick-my-ass/or-be-homeless setup”, try not being a landlord.

I’m always afraid to recommend it because I’ve never heard anyone talk about it- but I would recommend Station Eleven. Its post-apocalyptic after a covid-like disease. But unlike every other apocalyptic media it has so much love for people. It has some very sad moments but it’s so wholesome. And I loved their little traveling commune.

You know there is like history and real life and stuff that happened prior to the invasion right? Like you don’t have to guess or speculate or make up fan theories? Like you can just like read and find out why.

This feigned “who could possibly know” attitude is baffling. Just like look it up

They’re not real. I’ve worked at multiple places with DEI initiatives. They amount to a yearly training where white people get to vent their bigotry and a position within HR devoted to focusing on more inclusive recruitment tactics.

For the most part we still hired almost exclusively white people.

In reality DEI was just a way for companies to pretend they’re cool places to work and DEI was dropped the moment it started getting backlash.

Zionists conflate Jewishness and the existence of the political state of Israel. To the point that any Jew that does not support Israel as a state or the actions of Israel is considered not a real Jew or a kind of race traitor.

This controlling of the thoughts and actions of Jews by zionists who may even be christian themselves is very much antisemetic

A state is not owed the allegience of a people based on their ancestry or belief

I remember when people were saying that texting and abbreviations like LOL were the end of books and language as we know it.

A lot of this is just old people looking to blame the woes of society on a group they are definitively not part of. Can’t be because of capitalism that people are living with their parents, if that were the case then maybe old people would have to accept some blame.

Seriously, it turns out all it took to get regular people to support hitler was to just get a 2nd hitler.

It short circuits them
