@Campbell4732 well, doxing destroys lives pretty severely bro.

Some never fully recover.

Guys it was a joke about Patrick

@Bjorn - MD @ThisIsChris I’m brining dead toe fashion back. I’m going full toe

To say it's "not a big deal" is simply untrue.

Ian going full HR in general chat.

@missliterallywho I miss Reinhard Wolf. 😢

I wonder what happened to poor Reinhard, he just up and disappeared one day

They say some lunatic named Patrick took him out

Torchlight march is an ancient European tradition.

@VinceChaos I thought the torches looked cool but were an anachronistic show of strength at a public rally announced way beforehand which was already unadvisable

Also, why tiki

@Ald yeah it was anachronistic because it reminded people of burning crosses

A torchlight rally I could imagine at an unannounced rally in great numbers following a victory

I recently learned that cross burning in the US was never done as intimidation but was essentially only done at private parties.

Lynchings were generally done to rapists and murderers, and were very rare anyway

Crosses weren’t burned on blacks’ lawns? @missliterallywho

White people never enslaved anyone, we just bought existing slaves who would have continued to be slaves anyway

I was aware the Klans traditions came from Scotland

The average slave was better nourished and worked less than the average white

@VinceChaos nope, that's a Hollywood invention

The colonists did kidnap and enslave the Irish which meant they were cheaper than blacks and treated worse often

Whites were also lynched

For crimes

Irish were indentured servants, I'm unsure if they were ever in chattel slavery like Africans

The amount of Africans captured was minuscule yeah

Blacks had lower unemployment under segregation, and the biggest drop in the black white income gap happened during segregation

But some Irish Americans like to say we wuz negroes too

@Ald coulda sworn they captured even if they meant not forever

Descendants of black slaves are economically far better off than Africans

White people dindu nuffin

Yeah there was a lot of vigilante justice and little due process but it was for real reasons and happened to both whites and blacks. Blacks more simply bc they committed more crimes!

Segregation was good for blacks, not that that's our concern

but it was good for us too 😉

The "right to be around Whites" talking point is a good one to push cause it's so true

A burning cross was the original Paul Revere's midnight ride

That's what a lot of it boils down to

Horowitz gets it right there 👆

It's like a clingy dysfunctional girlfriend who says you're being abusive by wanting to break up
