I study history. I have above average intelligence. Unfortunately, the average is appallingly low. I thought the end times would be less tedious.

I confronted a No Kings protestor on the lack of diversity at the protest, she told me she's here because black people can't be.

The cost of your flight went up because you searched for it twice. Your rideshare costs more because your phone battery is dying.
This is surveillance pricing – corporations using your own data and behaviors against you.

@EdWinters583257 @DavidHundeyin That is nonsense. Read a book.
English
@DavidHundeyin It's not a myth. White people ended slavery. Quit trying to blackwash history.
English
Also, the myth that white people benevolently "ended" slavery should die in 2026.
There were literally HUNDREDS of slave rebellions and anti-European wars and uprisings across Africa and the New World, to the point where it became physically dangerous to be a slave owner, and white people in slave societies lived in a constant state of terror.
Enslaved Africans made the entire business of slavery so dangerous and expensive that the owners of capital began exploring more efficient alternatives provided by new technology, a lot of which was built off the uncredited inventions and genius of enslaved people.
This messy, uneven process is what is now called the Industrial Revolution.
The idea that there was ever a time when Africans were so passive and pathetic that despite being farmed and traded like animals against their will, some benevolent oyibo "ended" slavery on their behalf, is one of the biggest and most egregious lies ever told.
Jean-Jacques Dessalines didn't die making Haiti the world's first postcolonial black republic so that someone could credit his lifetime of military struggle to white people's alleged "benevolence". Let this horrible myth die already.

“How about white people receive gratitude for ending a problem they created.” And the usual suspect okays it. His job on this app is scavenging for white supremacy talking points to amplify. It doesn’t matter if you have 2 followers, he will take break from his ‘busy’ schedule of running 10 million companies and find you. Mind you, they never really ended slavery. They just ended the old format because they perfected a new one. The religion they came with still enslaves people till date. You can tell by how the victims of their indoctrination have no mind of their own. The extraction mechanism they created still enslaves people till date. You can tell by how Africans still beg for visa to go slave away in their societies, as an effect of their destabilization of our continent. The capitalist system they created still enslaves people still date. You can tell about how people are under-compensated for (forced) labour so that billionaires like him can make profits. This list goes on. Very wicked people.

@OndeDiabhal @DavidHundeyin 1) No, that was not common. 2) Who said transatlantic slavery was the only former of slavery to ever exist? 3) In professional history, scholars are literally always trying to improve upon what came before through ever more rigorous and thorough study. That's kinda the point.
English
@DavidHundeyin Ah, good old revisionist history. I'm sure you're unaware, but it was very common for Africans to go up and enslave Europeans. Slave even comes from the root of Slav or Slavic. Definitely not Africans. Then there were the Barbary states that enslaved and castrated Africans.
English
@M1sterc1 @DavidHundeyin That the British suppressed the transatlantic trade through embargo is true, but doesn't in any way contradict the original tweet. It also misses the point that the domestic trade and plantation slavery thrived long after the suppression of the transatlantic trade.
English
@DavidHundeyin No..Africans wanted to continue selling other Africans...the British Navy stopped it by simply parking it's fleet and challenging anyone to try to ship slaves through.
Africa still has slavery whilst the West does not.
You are being ridiculous here..
English
@M1sterc1 @DavidHundeyin Everything they said is true. I can suggest some reading, as this is what I study. Slave rebellions absolutely rocked the Americas in the decades before and after the Haitian Revolution. And the Civil War created conditions for nearly 2 million people to SELF-emancipate.
English
@DavidHundeyin Also, a couple millions enslaved people abandoned Southern plantations during the Civil War, sabotaging them on their way out, contributing to a food crisis in the Confederacy. And most of those folks ultimately aided the Union victory in some capacity.
English
@Savvy_heretic @JohnCleese To whom? I'll answer. Slave owners.
English
@JohnCleese The British and Americans ended slavery. Reparations were already paid in the civil war in America.
English
@KingdomOfHerod @JohnCleese They are talking about scope and scale. Unfortunately, atrocities abound in human history. But they are distinguishing the transatlantic trade because of its scope and scale.
English
@JohnCleese Are they talking about scale or horrificness? I’m not sure how we are supposed to judge what the worst crime against humanity was.
English
@ianatmars @JohnCleese I'm not agreeing with you, dummy. This designation is not about the US. It's about history.
English
@ianatmars @JohnCleese The vast majority of the captive Africans swept up in the transatlantic slave trade did not come to North America.
English
@JohnCleese Scope and scale.
