lol

pls say you don't mean the dresses, those were stupid

Oh, please. Britain is, to the best of my knowledge, almost singlehandedly responsible for bringing the contemporary slave trade to an end. They stopped first and put pressure on other nations to do the same. They are the reason slavery is extinct in the Western world, and the reason the East tries to hide it.

The Enlightenment was pretty cool too tbh

It had its ups.

And downs. *eyes France*

>slavery is extinct
lmao

Think of it more like polio than smallpox

and Britain was the primary driver of slave trade, so no shit once they stopped it collapsed

That last 1% is a bitch to kill

isn't it the last 5%? or was that humans

Britain was A mover of the slave trade

Brazil got 10x as many black slaves as did the US

Spain, Portugal, even France were just as culpable

Holland moved slaves around just like they moved everything around

And, while I don't have the numbers in front of me, I'm pretty sure the Atlantic Slave Trade was small peanuts compared to the African and Asian Slave Trade.

So yeah, I'll give GBR some credit there

oooo, what are we ~~arguing about~~ debating today?

Here's an old article, but it ties in very nicely with Tim's video today.

It seems like every great person has been fired at least once in their career.

For the sake of freedom of speech, please watch and share https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ps8iwcxaXV0 before it gets made illegal in Europe . Sharia in Europe: Human Rights Court Adopts Islamic Blasphemy Laws.

that should go in <#399204742846349312> tbh

here's a more reasonable article on it

Thanks. Lol i was having a bit of the old trouble watching that.

the Human Rights Court hasn't adopted any new blasphemy laws, it simply denied a woman's request that her fine be cancelled because ye olde freeze peach

the problem is with Austrian law, which is very touchy when it comes to "disparaging religion"

<:salut:398401094092324864>

That is interesting though. I cant really say because I dont know how Euro law is

I mean literally, I agree with what she said. It is pedophilia. However it also seems like she was just trying to paint muhammad and islam as an extension in a bad light.

ya
especially since she made no mention of him consummating the marriage when she started puberty a few years later, nor that it was the norm back then

nowadays, it would absolutely be called pedophilia

not even a teenager, several decade age difference, etc

I guess that is illegal in Austria.

yup

maybe blasphemy laws should be abolished tbf, but this has nothing to do with sharia or the human rights court

just austria being austria

Anschluss gonna anschluss

The whole point is, that Muslims themselves are against paedophilia, but their definition is different to that of ours. The 12 and 13-year-olds they gangrape over the course of a weekend arent seen as children to them but as young women. They dont see it as paedophilia, because Mohammad did it.

And they dont see rape as rape then?
