My reply didn't send :( The fire moth is my favorite Mech ever. From battletech. It's so fast that even though they nerfed the speed in MechWarrior online because it would otherwise break the game engine that piloting it counts as cardio.

Of course. Sex workers have a lot to say about sex work and people should listen. And now that the sapphic blue screen is over the mechanic thing is a perfect comparison. If a mechanic has to disassemble your car to find out what's wrong, you still have to pay for the labor even if it turns out...

I mean that would seem to be the legal definition, but the public seems to want to describe any incident of mass murder or any crime against humanity as genocide. Or things they don't like. Nimbys say that building apartments is genocide, because it's destroying suburban culture, for example.

... You've completely misunderstood my point. The economy of Mississippi collapses after the civil war. Between 1807 and 1860 they become one of the wealthiest places on the planet but most of that value is in chattel slavery. When those slaves are freed, the wealth evaporated.
Skye (@skyeactual.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah, illegally. And they kidnapped free black people to sell them in Cuba.
Skye (@skyeactual.bsky.social) reply parent
First at the state level in the immediate aftermath of independence and then nationally in 1808.
Skye (@skyeactual.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes, because slaveowners raised fucktons of capital from banks around the world to set up what amounted to slave breeding operations. Which is a horror that never gets properly discussed.
Skye (@skyeactual.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes, exactly. I agree with all of this. This is what happened in its most basic form. And far worse than what's mentioned here. Public, sadistic torture and execution as a method of control through terror. Every abuse imaginable.
Skye (@skyeactual.bsky.social) reply parent
I don't think any of the horrors should be sugarcoated here but the goal of the plantations was profit and the goal of the Holocaust was extermination.
Skye (@skyeactual.bsky.social) reply parent
And what does that say about the ethics of business people when the rest of us don't tell them "fuck no, you can't do that?" It was absolutely one big business. Which involved murder, torture, and every possible horror imaginable, which was legal in a country that talked a lot about freedom.
Skye (@skyeactual.bsky.social) reply parent
Except the goal of the work camps was to work jews to death while the goal of the plantations was to maximize profits and maximize the numbers of slaves. They're different scenarios with different motivations. Both are utterly evil but they're very different.
Skye (@skyeactual.bsky.social) reply parent
Making this argument will cause the most insufferable people whose ancestors used to speak Scottish Gaelic in this country try to pretend that what we went through is the same thing as slavery and that's simply not the case. Slavery was way worse than anything done to us in this country.
Skye (@skyeactual.bsky.social) reply parent
On the one hand, I agree, and If that's the case than the destruction of languages due to the English Only movement of the 1900s means something like 97% of Americans are victims of genocide because our languages were intentionally destroyed.

The valuation of 70% of their economy was the total value of the people slaveowners owned. Slaveowners went from wealthy to destitute and unable to pay their massive debts. And like, good. They deserved worse, at least that's something and the bankers financing deserved worse too.
Skye (@skyeactual.bsky.social) reply parent
After the ban, the value of slaves skyrocketed, and immigrants became the preferred labor for more dangerous jobs because a slave owner didn't lose part of their net worth if an immigrant died. There's a reason that the economy of Mississippi shrank by something like 70% after the war.
Skye (@skyeactual.bsky.social) reply parent
That simply isn't true, and we have the data to prove it. Slaves were absolutely tortured to death as a terror method for control, but you couldn't "always get more" because one of the things the U.S. did the moment it was independent was ban the importation of slaves.
Skye (@skyeactual.bsky.social) reply parent

I have a degree in history and this is not what academia teaches. They're wrong about a lot of things, so I'm wading into a discussion to learn and ask questions. Maybe you should research the various ways people learn instead of lecturing someone for not knowing something automatically.
Skye (@skyeactual.bsky.social) reply parent
Except that's part of the horror. Living slaves produce labor you can steal. Dead ones don't. The goal of the plantations was not to work them to death it was to keep them alive and working for as long as possible in order to maximize the value of the stolen labor.
Skye (@skyeactual.bsky.social) reply parent
You were making good points here, there's no reason to tell me to go fuck myself when I'm asking questions about the way you're applying a definition. You could maybe see someone interested in the topic as interested in learning and not a political enemy for having never once heard this perspective.
