You know, often in these green text posts I have a takeaway that at least attempts sympathy toward the anon.

Fuckin nope, not here.

I would say its so hilariously pathetic that its a bit, but I've met people that are unironically like this.

Anon, you only exist because Sherman didn't finish the job.

He should have.

Here, a song for you before you meet your God:

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,

With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me;

As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,

while God is marching on.

Oh, imagine a world where that describes current day 'Republican Jesus'.

My idea of a 'white man's burden' is that its our job to rid the planet of all these melanin deprived slavers and 'ante bellum nostalgics'.

Its really the least we could do, at this point.

Any wealth inheritance has been divided amongst an unknown number of heirs for the last, what 5 generations? 7? That shit's long gone.

Oh wait till you hear about my family.

My family was French Aristocracy that faked their deaths and moved to America to avoid the French Revolution

Then they owned slaves, but the deeds to their plantations and land and shit were burned in a slave revolt and they lost it all.

Then they helped found the Klan and became poor white trash.....

We could have been rich and not lived in America. But no we had to become poor AND racist.

[–] Brosplosion@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 hours ago

Don't think they weren't racist before moving....

Well, I'm related to Steve Kerr and apparently Robert S. Kerr helped expand Social Security.. so I guess the Kerr's are ok people? Idk man, I haven't seen shit from Steve Kerr lol.

Edit: I guess a Joseph Kerr died in the Alamo which... idk if that's a point for or against the name.

I hear that. My grandfather was descended of German nobility. Nothing major, but he was the son of a prince. To be clear: a complete nobody even when German nobility was still a thing pre-WW1. After the war, they pretty much abolished all that in a revolution.

But basically, if I go back four generations, we owned a ‘castle’ somewhere. Meanwhile, I’m solidly in the peasant class.

[–] Baggie@lemmy.zip 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Good news, I hear you can probably get a castle for fairly cheap. Only problem is you have to maintain it.

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

From whom? Was it a little gnome peeking out from behind a mushroom?

[–] Seleni@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

Quite a few countries, Italy for example, will either sell you a castle for dirt cheap or just give it to you, as long as you promise to restore and maintain it.

Which is, to be clear, an absolute pain in the ass, since those castles have very strict restrictions about how to repair and upgrade them, materials and even companies you’re allowed to use, etc. Not to mention they’re a bitch to heat in the winter.

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

The cheapest castle I can see from a cursory glance is 1.3 million euros. You must be on that good gnome shit.

Edit: that's an outside area of 732m² and an internal of 184m². It's a literal tower on a tiny plot for 1.3 million dollars. Nothing about that seems remotely close to cheap.

Anon sounds entitled AF. Has he tried not relying on nepotism for getting ahead?

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Yeah...

I was robbed of my white privilege

Uhh, I'm pretty sure you're still white. Sounds like you don't know what white privilege actually means.

[–] HrabiaVulpes@europe.pub 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Has he tried pulling himself by the bootstraps?

[–] kat_angstrom@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Probably. Perhaps he's realized that nepotism is a successful methodology for getting ahead in life. But maybe he should have tried being born into a more wealthy family, instead of blaming others.

[–] HrabiaVulpes@europe.pub 3 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

I am inclined to believe that he didn't choose to be born to this specific family.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 hours ago

No, poor people are poor because they did something to deserve it

  • Average conservative
[–] kat_angstrom@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

You may have valid justifications for your inclination in this regard

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Is probably one of those who screams DEI = Didn't Earn It...but is also pisses he wasnt born into advantages

[–] RamenJunkie@midwest.social 4 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (4 children)

Be family

Need Slaves

No money

Remeber slaves are literally slaves and cost nothing

Get slaves

I don't think you have to be rich to own slaves.

Edit: Some of ya'll don't understand what shitposting is.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

If you’re talking about the US, you are incredibly misinformed. Selling slaves for money was an insanely lucrative business. It’s not called “The Transatlantic Slave Here You Can Just Have Some”

You do have to feed, keep them healthy, clothe and shelter them along with you and your family - plus they did cost money to buy, they don't spontaneously appear. You'd need a modicum of wealth to afford and keep one. Not much, but some.

[–] IAMgROOT@lemmy.wtf 1 points 8 hours ago

slaves were a one time purchase, workers were subscriptions

[–] Hiro8811@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Are you actually shitposting if you don't get downvoted?

AFAIK, in 1860 about 20% of families in the slave states owned slaves. Lots of those were probably relatively poor farmers - slaves or no, small farmers in the 19th century weren't that wealthy. Also, since when does the Christian god condemn entire family lines? Is slavery even forbidden by the bible?

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 14 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Punishing descendants is absolutely a part of the bible. Women experiencing pain during childbirth is supposedly a punishment for Eve eating the forbidden fruit.

[–] Patrikvo@lemmy.zip 10 points 15 hours ago

Yeah, she really shouldn't have listen to the snake. Women could have been giving birth like a giraffe: Just standing there, muching on a snack while the baby just falls out.

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 1 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

For some biblical figures really far back, yes, but as a punishment for normal (real) people?

[–] brotundspiele@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Women are normal (real) people, I believe.

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

According to the bible, Eva is the literal second human and first woman and IIRC lived for hundreds of years, so no, she's not normal or real.

[–] brotundspiele@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago

But the millions of women who suffer from pain during birth on her behalf are normal and real.

[–] froufox@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

who said anon is a Christian?

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 0 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

What non-Christian believes in hell?

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

Anon lost everything in the mameluk uprising

[–] kek_kecske_31@lemmy.world 28 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (3 children)

In the Jewish part of Bible there are passages about kinda inheriting sin as something you need to do something about (e.g. Cain and his lineage). But even there its not straightforward inheritance. With the New Testament in mind the post is even more bogus.

[–] ferrule@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 hours ago

With the New Testament in mind the post is even more bogus.

Not one jot or tiddle of the old law will be gotten rid of until Jesus comes back during end times. So said Jesus. Green text is on point.

[–] GrumpyBike1020@monero.town 5 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Sir, this is greentext. It’s supposed to be bogus, that’s the joke

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 2 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

It's pretty fun to dissect the bogus, though.
