  • You mean the French and Russians didn’t have slavery before their revolutions. But the Bolsheviks killed millions. And they established slave labor camps for decades.

    And in the French revolution, just a handful of people caused thousands of executions.

    [This led to the enactment of the Law of Suspects, which allowed for the arrests of between 300,000 and half a million citizens nationwide. 16,594 of these ‘suspects’ were formally executed after a trial, while around 10,000 died in prison, and thousands more were killed in various massacres staged across France. It is estimated that the total death toll during the ten-month Reign of Terror rests anywhere between 30-50,000.]

    Did you really think I couldn’t back up my statement with facts? How is the Reign of Terror in France and the mass genocide in the USSR in any way “equivalent” to the American and Haitian revolutions?







  • Harris could have won by breaking from Biden

    By taking a tougher line on Israel than Biden? Possibly yes.

    and calling Bidens actions genocide,

    No, that could have completely sunk her campaign. Because “genocide” is hyperbole. Just because people here rarely bother to point out that “genocide” is obvious hyperbole, does not mean that the vast majority of voters do not know that using the word “genocide” is obvious hyperbole.

    (1) Biden didn’t have any “actions” in Gaza. That was Hamas and Israel

    (2) War crimes are not the same thing as “genocide”. Genocide means trying to exterminate an entire population.

    (3) A war is not the same as war crimes. There has to be intentional killings of civilians.







  • And as I said, so long as they removed their pictures and info from websites- it’s a win?

    And as I said, the result of CEO’s being more afraid to screw the public sure is a win. And removing their pictures from a website proves they are afraid.

    Insurance companies are still doing exactly what they did before.

    You don’t know that at all. They may well have canceled some new measures to screw people over this.

    At best, he sent a message to…

    CEO’s to think twice before implementing that new scheme to screw people.

    Just because you have no imagination does not mean that there was no impact. You just cannot see it. Or rather, you do not want to see anything.
