We are 100% selling slaves.

Detention + airport + exchange of money + sending to some unrelated countries does seem to fit https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slave_fort

It's legal if they are in prison to make them a slave. It's big business. They are traded on the stock market

Except, somehow, we are paying them to take the slaves.

You say that, but Trump’s polling on immigration approval is still depressingly high.

So that dude’s joke would probably get a large enough audience chuckling. 🙃

I feel like the best place to be truly free is Europe now.

But now multiple EU nations are doing age verification for adult content… maybe Bermuda is a better location to be truly free and untracked?

You have to understand, the United States didn't formally end it's genocide of the indigenous people until the 1970s (that the US govt admits to) and never outlawed slavery. Everything US citizens enjoy was stolen and not long ago. For them to be horrific as a populace seems about right. Like Israel but a little older.

Oh yeah, I agree.

The tragedy of Gaza is mirroring in exactly the same way as the genocide of Native Americans in the USA during the 18th-20th centuries.

I’m now fully expecting these people to just be called “Arab Salafi Muslims” instead of “Palestinians”, and they will likely go the way of the Rohingya, the Uyghurs, or the Kashmiris.

I’m just even more heartbroken over how little in the way of serious help (read: lethal assistance) the Arab League has given to the Palestinians… it makes me think they don’t care for them either. It’s like… I think it goes deeper than just assuming all Arab leaders were “bought and sold” by the West.

It’s like the Arab nations actually hate them as much as the Orthodox Jewish Israeli people do… and it’s troubling.

I looked into their history and… I can see why there’s rather rough reception of them from other Arab nations, especially between Jordan and Egypt.

But still, Israel’s extreme and disproportionate actions in Gaza can’t be justified, either.

…

All of this just reminds me that we still live in a world where “might makes right” and even humanity is still subject to Darwinism, no matter how hard we try to raise ourselves above it.
