    Fuentes is the fascist, but of course you like to label everyone as such, so that a bullet can be put through their neck for the greater good

      Bwahaha, you can’t even imagine that right-wingers are the problem. You have to pretend it’s a leftist, even when the right-wing fascist is staring you in the face.

        RW fascist that calls his victim a fascist. This makes perfect sense if your reasoning is motivated enough

            Do communists call non communists communists? Do other ideologies try to claim their enemies are part of their own ideology? I think you’ll find it’s mostly centrist normies who call the far left fascists because they can’t tell the difference due to horseshoe theory

              Liberals literally founded the United States and counted humans as “property.”

                Will it be fair to judge you by future standards 200 years from now? Slavery was widespread and only began declining after Britain banned the trans Atlantic slave trade in the 1800’s.

                  "All men are created equal”?

                  Ideals are easier to have than live. But Jesus Christ the brutality… There were abolitionists alongside them.

                  Still. I’m glad the thread was posted. I don’t want to debate. A conversation maybe.

                    The original draft included criticism of the slave trade. The founders didn’t have a singular vision and those that owned slaves broadly speaking didn’t consider all people equal. There are certain moves afoot that, if they come to fruition may make us look like monsters for keeping Apes in zoos, eating them as bushmeat etc one day in the future https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_ape_personhood
