The follow up is just straight up denial mixed with severe historical illiteracy. (BTW, I was talking about the Fugitive slave act of 1793 that passed in congress).

There is a laundry list of countries that banned slavery before America did.

[–] booty@hexbear.net 65 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

Any country that banned slavery did it before America did. The 13th Amendment of the US constitution regulates slavery, rather than forbidding it. To this day it is legal.

Colorado recently tried to actually ban slavery by passing a state constitutional amendment but the courts decided the people didn't actually mean to ban slavery when they voted to ban slavery.

[–] miz@hexbear.net 25 points 2 days ago (1 children)

in California they put a slavery ban up for referendum and it failed to get a majority

The Colorado one barely failed the first time but passed with a 2:1 margin on the second try, then the court decided that it was only symbolic and didn't actually apply to "prison labor"

[–] PorkrollPosadist@hexbear.net 34 points 2 days ago

Legal, and common practice.

[–] anotherspinelessdem@lemmy.ml 37 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Fuck, even England banned slavery before the states did. You know you're in the dogshit pile of history when England beats you on human rights

[–] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

In fact, one of the most important reasons for the American revolution was slaveowners fearing the possible abolition of slavery. And the main reason for Texas secession from Mexico was Mexico trying to enforce their slavery ban. And the American Civil War.

IIRC william the bastard kinda-accidentally banned slavery in england in the 11th century...

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 44 points 2 days ago

Again, thanks for showing me who the far left is, I will be sure to spread this information

Tagline material right here

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 27 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Shoulda just said "I don't argue with people John Brown would have shot"

[–] Meltyheartlove@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I am going to use this against people like that from now on. Thanks doggirl-thumbsup i-made-this

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure I clipped it from this site, anyway.

[–] Meltyheartlove@hexbear.net 2 points 2 days ago

If it becomes a tagline, future members could clip it too catgirl-salute

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago

Probably get banned

[–] wombat@hexbear.net 32 points 2 days ago (1 children)

the US constitution is the only one in the world that permits slavery.

[–] SchillMenaker@hexbear.net 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I want to beat this into these people's heads with dimensional lumber

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 9 points 2 days ago

I want to beat ~~this into~~ these people's heads with ~~dimensional~~ lumber

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 37 points 2 days ago

So does the bible?

wow, two ~~cakes~~ turds

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 33 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

so does the bible

The Bible and the god within it are evil and this is a prime example.

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 24 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Only mythology I know of where the Promethean figure is cast as a villain.

[–] Blakey@hexbear.net 14 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Love to punish my creation from whom I have withheld the knowledge of good and evil, for doing something evil

[–] Krem@hexbear.net 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

"i have just one simple rule. stay ignorant and happy"

"why"

"ok now you've done it. every human is gonna pay from now on until eternity"

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

"Look at what you made me do"

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 10 points 2 days ago

Not only that, but punish my creation from whom I have withheld the knowledge of good and evil for doing the evil of gaining knowledge.

[–] ConcreteHalloween@hexbear.net 32 points 2 days ago (3 children)

only country who's founding document were written during a time when slavery was big

Uh, have you not heard of Europe?

[–] regul@hexbear.net 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They get to be technically correct because a lot of European countries have either post-WW2 founding documents or lack one entirely.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 4 points 2 days ago

Yeah. I realized this when writing a reply. They were trying to set up a 'gotcha' for being technically incorrect. It's absurd on its face but easy to defend on technicality. What's really important here is that slavery is bad and your founding documents can be amended or straight up replaced as time passes. Your founding documents should be codified into law instead of being vague gestures at how laws should be made anyway.

[–] vovchik_ilich@hexbear.net 2 points 2 days ago

But that's unfair, they rewrote their founding documents to not have slavery

As far as I know America was the only country whose founding documents were written during a time when slavery was big

This statement is an absurd one to make. Slavery has basically always been big and (at least in the US, Israel, and the Gulf States) is still big. There's always money in free labor, and there probably always will be.

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 19 points 2 days ago

after an intense investigation i have come to the shocking conclusion that the US constitution and the bible are both shit.

[–] BioWarfarePosadist@hexbear.net 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

"I will be sure to spread this info around".

Buddy... Your mom doesn't need to hear for the 57433586343368843rd time this decade that you found something that proves the entire leftist project to be rotten to it core.

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 13 points 2 days ago

Reminds me of Drew Pavlou's dad yelling at him to get a real job and stop posting all day.

phoenix-sweat "Do you swear to believe no truth, k-hole truth, and anything but the truth, so help us God?"

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 17 points 2 days ago

this kind of mindset is crucial to them. By sweeping dirt over the history of better things they make their go-with-the-flow fecklessness seem like a historical tangent with outcomes and shit. As if them sitting on their hands is their participation in the long moral arc of the universe. So of course nobody outlawed slavery until John America decided to end racism. With the marketplace of ideas.

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 6 points 2 days ago

The limits of American exceptionalism.

When it comes to slavery America is suddenly a small bean that did the same as everyone else.

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 6 points 2 days ago

Adults in The Room except when they get caught with their hand in the cookie jar, which is when they huff and whine that everyone else totally did it too, and why are you being so mean?

[–] Jaclope@hexbear.net 11 points 2 days ago

This kind of obnoxious shit is all over bsky I simply couldn't spend my finite time on earth there any longer. This is a pretty good example of the average default pfp over there
