True as hell! I’ve been noticing the frenzied flock effect spawning misinfo here on the left and I appreciate you keeping me on form for it! Cause you’re right that I should have specified that I was critiquing the state of the law post-civil war, rather than anything the actual modern fascists are playing at.

True on the manipulation as well! Still, thank you again, and peace my friend!

This, I just got back from a night of cryptid huntin’.

Agreed, sorry, I couldn’t tell yesterday if you were pro-prison labor or didn’t have any exposure beyond personal regarding the oddity. I understand they can be kept for the purpose but wanted to give as much context for the shared aspects of the two issues i.e. plantations being converted and prisoners still legally being slaves in case you wanted to know more. Still glad to see productive discussions can still happen on the internet as I didn’t realize how many of the old plantation houses had gone the way of the dodo vis-a-vis maintenance issues, I appreciate the insight! I hope you have a good day!

When I said “major holders” I meant some of the Largest plantations were converted, rather than a majority of All plantations, sorry for not being clearer. I would agree that they genuinely don’t need as much labor due to ag-science development. However, I was also trying to convey what this map https://pudding.cool/2017/01/shape-of-slavery/ shows in words. The main theme of “which plantations” got converted mostly has to do with soil quality due to the Mississippi River delta over eons than it does with race or useful and efficient placement of reform facilities. Sorry for not thinking to go find the map yesterday, lol. (Also upon review this isn’t even the map I thought it was, though pertinent and I may add more, lol.)

Lmao, my bad on not getting back to you, but the other feller’s link is pretty much a good summary. Adding a few though because that article doesn’t list which ones have undergone the evolution, lol.

Our government loves to use what it has in terms of resources for as close to free as it can manage. From a purely Machiavellian and pragmatic perspective, it’s sensible, even if it’s utterly reprehensible.

They don’t even really care about punishment, I’d say the real driver for the prison system is just the need for labor and the loophole of enslavement. Most of the plantations that were major holders of slaves are now prisons after all.

I hear an excuse to build a rocket league themed demo-derby.

Bomb voyage.

It is our strongest export for the global autistic community 💪🇺🇸

You heard him folks, shine up your Somali and take to the seas, this man wants to see if we can cost him more money as traditionalists.

So now he’s angry that we’ve fucked up our agricultural exports badly enough that the rest of the world doesn’t think our trash goods are food grade?

Aviators, I like a lot of their game inspired music such as A Thousand Eyes, inspired by Bloobourne and some of their personal creations such as “Godhunter,” and “My Church”

I mean, yes, because if they catch you evading taxes then they get a free slave for the term of your incarceration. To them it’s a win-win.

I mean depends on how the crops looked; im sure they’d tie me for bog body purposes and toss me in the dip if the crops were bad enough and I went feverish. The gods gotta eat too after all.

I know how to make rope, among other things, as an eagle scout, and I have some experience with atatl so, probably dying of fever at 14.

Oh, that’s why the grail was important, yeah, I’ll accept that into my theology tenuously.

Literally why I didn’t want to change my car headlight yesterday, also can confirm it was a bitch and bit my knuckle and received choice verbage.

I believe it, Reddit has been progressively worsening for years (and it wasn’t starting from a good place anyway) the current administration seems to have the site’s admins scrambling to remove evidence that could reflect poorly on them, especially with the 50501 stuff now.

Ah shit 🤯

Or the quantum foam, or both, it’d be wild to be able to stare out into that sorta of black, in a metal way.
