Imagine that my post has a meme image attached of "they ban our medicine" (picture of lolisho mangas on a shelf) "so they can sell us their 'cures'" (screenshot of grok generated ai child porn of real kids)

Even if we put aside the CP issue, deepfaked porn of real people is supposed to be illegal in the UK to begin with

you what? 🤣

He's not a boer. his family where german-canadians who moved to south africa for the love of the game of white supremacy.

what would madonna say

here is some legal history concerning a 1772 court case ("somerset/sterling vs stewart"), wherein it is declared that the holding of a negro slave in england has no legitimacy, for by common law or contract, slavery is not a condition which is permissible (despite the contemporary holding of around 15,000 slaves in england at this time). the court appealed for the slave (sterling) to be released from stewart, yet the precedent did not liberate all slaves, until the british empire's "slavery abolition act" (1833), which freed over 800,000 slaves in the colonies, 30 years before lincoln's "emancipation proclomation" (1863). the 1772 case was infamous, being cited by later civil rights leaders and abolitionists in the US.

in a report on the trial by the "trinity term" (june 22, 1772), it reports that popular opinion from the time of 1729 onwards was that the baptism of a slave made him free, and so plantation owners had resistance to this act of conversion, although it had no real basis in english law. curiously, in defoe's "robinson crusoe" (1729), this was also the attitude taken by the portuguese in regard to negro slaves; that they would be made free by their religious training (while robinson as an englishman was naturally free). so then, freedom appeared as a condition of belonging to the same faith, more than race, it seems - like how cromwell's invasion of ireland was preconditioned by a war against catholicism in particular. as yet, race still played an integral aspect, since the irish only became indentured servants (such as in the colonies), yet it was negroes who held distinction in their treatment as slaves, from the time of john punch in 1640, who was punished along with white servants, but whom received particular wrath. john casor in 1655 was later treated as "servant for life". in 1662 is when virginia initiated "partus sequitur ventrem", making children the enslaved property of masters, rather than fathers, based in the status of mothers. its this condition also which exempted mixed children of white mothers and black fathers from slavery, and so most of the free negroes from this time must be conjectured as descending from white mothers, with the opposite case of mixed children from black mothers and white fathers being held as property. thus, this law was not only racist, but misogynist.

i would also agree with noam chomsky here, that the cause of the american revolution was largely based in the interests of slave-holders, and that this particular racism of the nation's inception stains its reputation, such as i have cited earlier, in regard to the american stratification of race, compared to other nations:
>>2617199
>>2617211
an early example would be the USA's "naturalisation act(s)" (1790-1802), which purposefully specifies citizenship from immigrants based in them being a "white person". this racialisation of national citizenship of course conflicts with earlier english writing, such as i have highlighted with daniel defoe (1701):
>>2630056
so then, america appears to be a uniquely racist nation.

>>2638626
Correct Slovo was not a boer.
>>2638626
>you don’t have to be dutch
Very hard to have a grasp of South African history and politics if you just think every white SA is a boer.
This is literally the afriforum line, btw. so grats for that.

>>2638743
How are those distinctions relevant after the ango boer wars?

I've always found interesting the theory that America was also founded to steal native American land which Britain was more reluctant to do.
Not because Britons are more moral people averse to stealing land, but because of the security calculus involved in doing so. (Basically: the Empire doesn't want to send troops to "pacify" native Americans trying to get their land back because while they're tied down in some flyover state France could attack elsewhere, while an independent America can conquer all it likes.)

There's even a whole fun argument about the economics of settler colonialism: Australia failed to colonize Papua New Guinea because it'd require like $10,000 subsidy per person to convince a comfortable Australian citizen to move there even if you gave them free land etc. Indonesia succeeded in colonizing the same island because, as a poorer country, less inducement was required. Free land and moderately favorable treatment were enough. Thus, settler colonialism mostly imploded for economic reasons except in odd cases like Israel where the economics still work out. (Even there, illegal settlements tend to do well when they're "commuter colonialism" projects within driving distance of major cities, and fail when they actually involve living on the frontier.)

Well, calling them vanguardist is a buzzword and saying they occupy letting agents for the sake of it and without the support of the community isn't true.

If you're in London Renters Union they have the opposite problem in that its very 'democratic' but is highly disorganised to the point where, again, actually a clique runs it but they also don't get as much done.

If its the difference between a clique and clique, you might as well choose the efficient clique

Hello friend

Hey Sage. Hope you're well.

>>2638864
dont you think there is at least a prersonality difference between the puritans who went to the colonies and the people who stayed home? britain is almost genetically atheist, it seems, while america languishes in evangelicalism. could attitudes toward race also be understood this way?

>>2639006
I don't think the US had such a bloody split between Catholics and Protestants or at least as frequently as on the British Isles where secularism therefore became pragmatic.

It is a pretty unfortunate fate, you can’t really have sex unless you enjoy taking it in the ass and there’s not even enough tissue for a successful sex change if you wanted to go that route

how big are his balls though? And are we talking length or girth? Bit of a shallow analysis tbh

>>2639461
I’m listening to it now, they aren’t really going into it so I assume he has normal balls with his less than half centimeter cock, i think that’s what he’s implying when talking about cleanup at the toilet being difficult

>>2639481
he'll get a go-fund-me surgery and end up with a trouser hog to swing about the place

>>2639486
There’s literally no medical options for him, he would have needed intervention during puberty but it didn’t happen

>>2639491
yeah they'll whip up a franken todger from his leg or something like that, or wrist they use isn't it

>>2639504
You wouldn’t have the nerve endings for sex to be pleasurable and it’s far too medically risky for what is a non survival function

>>2639509
I don't think he gets much use of it as-is, and if it means not pissing all over his balls every day I reckon he should have that done

>>2639509
They didn't make Robocop to enjoy art and literature, they made him to do a job.

That's all I'm saying.

just saw a homeless veteran loudly complain about trans people. think he needs better priorities tbh. but it does seem strange that to be the greatest victim of class makes one least conscious of it. the lumpen question is of course mostly settled, i presume. you cant make a revolution from uninterested opportunists, as marx once said - in fact, thats who the fascists use. just look at the tommy rallies - bunch of ogreish wronguns, tatted up, boozed up, not worked a day in their life.

>>2639557
That's because being abused, damaged, diminished, suffering, makes you *worse*, not better.
This is a very simple, almost mechanical, newtonian observation, the only reason you'd believe otherwise is if you bought into the disgusting christian lie that suffering is noble.

>>2639557
What were they saying?

>>2639593
>they
I think we can safely assume it was a male homeless veteran

>>2639608
It's just how people speak, anon, stop acting like an insufferable middle class pedant.

>>2639608
What's wrong with being male?

Update

>>2639611
also, 'they' used to refer to more than one person

>>2639624
singular 'they' has been a thing for as long as I can remember

>>2639626
anyway, what did *he* say?

From this simple word we can infer it was a singular male veteran, the greatest victim of class.

>You will eat tea and biscuits I'm the church cafe with the old people afterwards
I unironically really enjoyed this part of going to church when I did about 10 years ago.

new weird Paul Cockshott fact: he persistently comments on Wings Over Scotland (half-decent if uncouth Scottish Nationalist press debunking site that the left could probably do with emulating <2015, increasingly deranged anti-SNP-to-the-extent-of-endorsing-Tory-voting TERF-obsession blog post-2017, always written by a bloke who lives in England) under his own name.

My headcanon btw is that there is a Welsh socialist Republic on Ynys Mon and they blew up the "Brittania" bridge to stop the infected from crossing.

>>2639624
"they" is a gender-neutral pronoun and has historically been used singularly or plurally, based on context.

>>2639620
is this where the budget "black hole" went, then?

>>2639681
This part? Isn't that basically all there is to it?
CoE is unironically among the least bad expression of christianity. Basically harmless and probably does more social good than bad in our current moment and recent history.

he is an old fashioned colonialist, it seems.
