This is simultaneously a fair point (the Portugeuse were the first slavers) and a miscategorization (puritans/white european invaders were quite racist and violent from the moment they landed on Plymouth rock and began stealing from / killing Natives).

puritans/white european invaders were quite racist and violent from the moment they landed on Plymouth rock and began stealing from / killing Natives I guess I can't keep up with the shifting terminology, are natives considered blacks now then? Isn't that supposed to be BIPOCS? Actually if we are talking about slaves, then native Americans had been enslaving each other for centuries before Whites or Latinx arrived.

This is why I supported the IRA. Every attack on England was an attack on evil.

This pro-slavery attitude was huge from you people.

> The Nazi symbol in the stage of their event? ...and Gmail, Facebook and Chrome logos are masonic symbols. You've somehow managed to delegitimize Wikipedia with those stupid claims, congratulations.

The Charlottesville protestors used that symbol explicitly (see link). CPAC hasn't come out with a denial that their stage was that shape intentionally. If it wasn't, they would have. https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2017/08/12/flags-and-oth...

We are quickly approaching "have you stopped beating your wife" at this point.

I don't think it would change anything if they came out and said it wasn't intentional.

Some friends of me got viciously attacked last year over some perceived fraud. They responded by publishing their books sinve they had nothing to hide.

What happened? Story just changed: "They are so crooked they managed to hide it from both the police[0] and a big four accounting company." was tje new story.

[0]: who investigated them for three years, first secretly, then openly after a previous false accusation.

So this justifies it?

What’s your address bro, I need a slave.

>Congratulations, you played yourself Congratulation you did not understood the irony.

Judging by your plethora of flagged and greyed out comments, I think I'm not the only one with that problem.

White vs Black was something that was ripping the United States apart since the arrival of the first slave on the continent, so I'd have a hard time crediting the KGB for it.

White vs Black was something that was ripping the United States apart since the arrival of the first slave on the continent That isn't true, since the first black slaves were brought over by the ethnic group we now call Latinx.

> the first black slaves were brought over by the ethnic group we now call Latinx.

No, they weren't. Latinx (or the equivalent combination of Latino/Latina) is not synonymous with Hispanic, and more to the point, even if it was, the slavers were (by modern American terms) racially White ethnic Hispanics, so it wouldn't change the White/Black racial dynamic.

> by worldwide standards America actually ranges from center-right (Democrats) to far-right (Republicans) OhBoyHereWeGo.jpg It's stupid to try and condense the political ideology of the US (or almost any nation) down to one spectrum and then try and map that onto the rest of the world when we (and the rest of the world) have a lot of ideology based on "well party X took position Y because party V had position W back…

Anyone who is genuinely left wing will easily recognize that neither party in the US represents their interests.

Can you help me identify the true Scotsmen as well?

From my point of view as an American who has lived in Europe (Sweden, later Germany, and the UK) my framing of the US political situation is as follows: Democrats tend to be authoritarian and pro-centralization of power. Republicans tend to be anti-authoritarian and pro-decentralization. Both major parties have a long history of deep corruption. They've essentially colluded to rob the American people blind. Unfortuna…

Um, no one would ever label Republicans "anti-authoritarian". When your ideology extends from rules concerning which water fountain you can drink from, it's hard to shake the authoritarian label.

The democrats were the segregation party. Go read a history book.

"Free speech" in these instances means bigotry and calls to violence. Also, we're talking about private businesses here, you can't be that naive.

Private businesses used to occasionally support free speech as a concept.

If someone comes into your business to promote racist and bigoted causes, and promote violence, do you have the right to kick them out?
