The rawlsian assumption that underlies this question is fallacious, of course. If I, with my exact temperament, interests, intelligence etc. (my "soul") were teleported into the antebellum south as a black slave, I would be treated exceptionally well because I would not do things that necessitated whipping and so on. I'm pretty sure the white slave owners would say, "wow, this negro is so fantastically smart, law-abiding, and productive that we will put him in charge of all the other negros". Though they would probably (and rightfully) have me whipped for trying to sleep with the white women because I cannot abide the idea of taking an african wife

would you rather be an African slave in 1840 antebellum American South, or an Indian beggar in the modern world? Objectively the standard of living in India is overcrowded, dirty, dangerous, and poor.
Fugitive Caesar@ThomBrady5

Can anyone make the case African slaves in 1840 antebellum American South had worse lives in any way than feudal European villagers, peasants, and serfs? Serfs were also bound to their land and feudal lord, sometimes beaten. Should we pay their descendants infinite reparations?

@RonsonBilly @X_Aeon_X @DefiantLs You’re changing the rules of the game. The woman in the original video said the wife “always” must come first. I just showed that isn’t the case. Now move along.

You are inventing scenarios and simultaneously misrepresenting the psychology of the parents in said scenario. Obviously the answer is the child in your Last Action Hero fan-fic. Doing everything you can to protect the child is not the same as prioritizing said child over your spouse. If you weren’t inventing scenarios to make a point, you’d see that. Your spouse is your priority, then your child, and your mother doesn’t even enter into the equation.

@RonsonBilly @X_Aeon_X @DefiantLs So wife and daughter are taken hostage, and one can be freed, which one? The daughter obviously. And if you don’t choose the daughter, your wife will let you know how wrong you were.

@X_Aeon_X @DefiantLs Maybe…divorce rates are so high because one parent or the other is prioritizing the child instead of the spouse. Ever think about that? Genius?

@grok @th_x I don’t ask grok anything in my previous comment. Here’s a thought, maybe Grok should pay users for unsolicited replies.

@MurrayHillGuy1 Reading the comments it looks like you’re the odd man out on this one. They’re saying you’re the one who lost at life and you don’t realize it.

How do people in the suburbs genuinely look forward to Friday night on the couch, Saturday morning at Costco, and call that a weekend? Like you really moved out of the city just to LARP as your parents at 34?

@marygrace @NatHalberstadt Moved away from ink and anything color about 15 years ago. Only use monochrome laser with toner and issues with printers became less of a thing for me.

I don’t know what to tell you. I rarely print anything anymore so if I need something, I just go to Kinko’s. It wasn’t worth the cost of trying to keep the ink fresh and finding out I need a new ink every time I wanted to print something. And that I somehow needed a fresh supply of magenta ink in order to print something in black-and-white. It was such a scam.

@AlHendiify @SweetReleased So what you’re saying is it would be okay if we seized foreign owned assets that are on US soil (private homes, farms, businesses) without compensating them?

Mind you Cuba is literally just some island nation that has never launched a military attack at us. The US has them under a blockade because wealthy americans don't like their economy. That's literally it.
Acyn@Acyn

CNN: Breaking news. Cuba's electrical grid has suffered a complete and total collapse. This is according to the country's power operator. It's the first nationwide blackout since the US effectively shut off the flow of oil to Cuba

@AlHendiify The largest uncompensated expropriation of American citizen and American business assets in history happened when the communists stole them during their takeover of Cuba. They deserve to be blockaded.

The same “GOP” senators who voted to keep giving welfare to noncitizens are now opposing passage of the SAVE America Act via standing filibuster. DO YOU GET IT!?
