You're a faggot.

2018-04-02 14:51:32 UTC  

The latter isn't in dispute. The former, well, slavery as a force of moral rhetoric that carried practical consequences certainly functions better at building momentum than, I dunno, whether to federally enact trade barriers or free trade.

2018-04-02 14:53:18 UTC  

SLAVERY WAS ALREADY DOOMED

2018-04-02 14:53:26 UTC  

THE QUESTION WAS WHETHER TO LET THE MARKET DO IT OR NOT

2018-04-02 14:53:39 UTC  

WITH THE RISE OF LABOR SAVING DEVICES, IT WAS EASY TO SIMPLY HIRE PEOPLE

2018-04-02 14:53:39 UTC  

That isn't important

2018-04-02 14:53:41 UTC  

NO PENSIONS

2018-04-02 14:53:43 UTC  

IT IS VITAL

2018-04-02 14:53:53 UTC  

YOU ARE TRYING TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN PRETEXT AND CAUSE

2018-04-02 14:54:46 UTC  

no it isn't because we are talking in hindsight not what was apparent to people who were having real debates over policies back then.

2018-04-02 14:55:07 UTC  

ONE MUST NOT CONFUSE POLITICAL SYMBOLS WITH REALITY

2018-04-02 14:55:11 UTC  

VOTERS DO NOT LIKE NUANCE

2018-04-02 14:55:18 UTC  

WAS FERGUSON REALLY ABOUT MIKE BROWN?

2018-04-02 14:55:37 UTC  

Well then join me in nuance man

2018-04-02 14:55:37 UTC  

Hail trump

vaishya party hour.

2018-04-02 14:56:43 UTC  

Lecturing me on the kshatriya phiosopher.

2018-04-02 14:56:46 UTC  

NUANCE REQUIRES LOOKING AT THE UNDERLYING STRUCTURE

2018-04-02 14:57:03 UTC  

AND THAT IS USUALLY ECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC, NOT SYMBOLIC

2018-04-02 14:57:08 UTC  

BUT SYMBOLISM IS HOW ONE ACQUIRES VOTES

2018-04-02 14:57:56 UTC  

....

2018-04-02 14:58:01 UTC  

nevermind

2018-04-02 14:59:11 UTC  

"Nuance" means never making any specific reference to texts or their history and instead using them in a ham-fisted way in support of temporal political goals.

2018-04-02 15:00:43 UTC  

THE UNDERLYING CAUSES OF THE CIVIL WAR ARE COMPLEX BUT GO WAY BACK TO THE TENSION BETWEEN RURAL AND URBAN STATES

2018-04-02 15:00:46 UTC  

THIS EXPANDED OVER TIME

2018-04-02 15:00:49 UTC  

MOST WARS ARE ECONOMIC

2018-04-02 15:01:21 UTC  

Ok Marx.

2018-04-02 15:01:47 UTC  

My self-proclaimed red-feminist professor agrees with you.

2018-04-02 15:02:16 UTC  

THE LEFT WANTS TO BELIEVE THAT EVERYONE IS AUTONOMOUS

2018-04-02 15:02:20 UTC  

AND EQUAL IN GENERAL ABILITY

2018-04-02 15:02:29 UTC  

THEREFORE, SYMBOLS MATTER MORE THAN REALITY

2018-04-02 15:02:34 UTC  

Rural versus urban is too vague.

2018-04-02 15:02:37 UTC  

Do you have ADHD?

2018-04-02 15:05:19 UTC  

The only people that discuss equality of ability or outcome are right wing critiques. I really just see left wing people talking about relational equality ie power.

2018-04-02 15:05:58 UTC  

Maybe it's different in universities I dunno

2018-04-02 15:06:24 UTC  

EGALITARIANISM IS ALL ABOUT POWER

2018-04-02 15:06:26 UTC  

Some do seriously believe that genetics provides no limiting factor.

2018-04-02 15:06:32 UTC  

IT WAS INVENTED TO DEPOSE THE UPPER CASTES

2018-04-02 15:06:42 UTC  

But you're looking at only what they verbalize.
