In the United States.

Comparing satellite states to the Confederacy is gay.

Donald Trump is a good man.

Secession should only be legal in Europe, that's your contention?

Satellite states were nations which each had a unique cultural identity. The Soviet Union actively oppressed them through physical means as well.

You are saying the South did not have a cultural identity different from the North?

Barely a sub-culture. Both the yankees and southerners held very similar cultural characteristics.

It's also a joke that you decry "Make America Great Again!", while also defending a secession which could've dismantled the United States as a whole.

Ok, well, either you're arguing in bad faith or ignorant of the sociopolitics of the era, not meant to be Ad Hominem, I simply don't see any point going on here

Perhaps because you've provided non-examples. Imagine comparing a brutal communist regime to the Union in the 1800s.

The southern states weren't "satellite states". They were simply discontent because the Southern aristocracy were mad that their institution of slavery was being slowly made useless by industrialization.

jannie got lost in my belly button and I had to use the Valium as bait to get them to come back out

It's a bit more complicated than that, I encourage others to do more reading into the economic and political relations between N and S, very interesting

There was also the fact that they were harming US industry by trying to sell most of their stuff to Britain instead

In a sense, the Civil War was our version of what other nations' communist revolutions did

Took power from the agrarian elite and cemented that of the industrialists

It was partially a war about the transfer of power from aristocratic slave-owners to industrialists.

The aristocratic class inherited the majority of their wealth from their forefathers, so they were barely adept at business themselves. On the contrary, industrialists were more intelligent and self-built.

Is there any way we can cut a lot of the memes on thedonal.win? The memes are great and all, but I would love to see more news curation and wikileaks-document-dump-esque content

The value of TD was in the community curating the news vs accepting MSM fake news

Memes certainly have their place, but .win seems too meme saturated

@Dubra What else should be posted??

@Dubra I agree, I love me some Meme pie but sometimes too much is too much. I'd like to see a balance between delicious meme pies and news about anything. That's why I visit T_D daily until it got locked down.

Do you see the <#675441441677377570> channel?

@Allahsword226

Please post that in there so everyone can focus on it 🙏

Losing TD is a big problem for me personally as the comments section was usually a great place to get linked to primary sources relevant for current news

Now we have whitewashed MSM-tangent content on TD with basically no useful content in the comments

Where is CarpeDonktum now that we need him and his crew?

Just go to r/Coomer, r/average_redditor, r/ConsumeProduct for good news sources.

Trust me.

I hear that Carpe is fairly critical of .win leadership

@Ducky no way

^ mentally ill

@Allahsword226 yes way

Cringe af

eugh who is that spaztic
