@Deleted User you're running away from the point again.
if anything automation created a greater demand for slavery
My town, like many Rustbelt/"Redneck" towns, have a problem with meth selling and producing
what
????????
Slavery is immoral
HUh?
@Anarchist-Communist Am I?
how
@Anarchist-Communist Tell me how.
@Deleted User yes you are.
My argument is that the economy of the North, which was based on manufacturing and thus automation, was dependent on the agricultural economy of the South which produced in demand textiles via slave labor.
@Anarchist-Communist Tell me how then.
@Deleted User Why should I? You're sea-lioning again, fuck you. I already proved you wrong.
@Deleted User If I am correct, didn't automation BOOST slavery?
yes it did
I said that
the cotton gin is a fucking thing
That's such a shit argument bro
no it isn't
its directly linked to an increase in slaves
When you have the means of automation artificially raised
read the article
you have far less incentive to innovate
@Anarchist-Communist So you are giving up all logic, and are just saying "FUCK YOU I WIN!" Like a child? Geez man, when you act like that, I can only assume you have autism.
this is basic historical materialism
Production in the North increased on the eve of the Civil war and cotton prices rose drastically. Where is the slow down you speak of? And decreased competition? Where?
@Deleted User So you're confusion lies in misunderstanding
The slowdown is not even seeable
"Because of its inadvertent effect on American slavery, and on its ensuring that the South's economy developed in the direction of plantation-based agriculture (while encouraging the growth of the textile industry elsewhere, such as in the North), the invention of the cotton gin is frequently cited as one of the indirect causes of the American Civil War."
pulled right from the fucking article
In fact if it was seeable
iot would'nt exist
with 3 citations included
because their woudln't be slavery
@Deleted User Sea lioning (also spelled sealioning and sea-lioning) is a type of Internet trolling which consists of bad-faith requests for evidence, or repeated questions, the purpose of which is not clarification or elucidation, but rather an attempt to derail a discussion or to wear down the patience of one's opponent. The troll who uses this tactic also uses fake civility and feigns offense so as to discredit their target.[1][2][3][4] The term arises from a 2014 edition of the webcomic Wondermark, where a character expresses an unsubstantiated dislike of sea lions and a passing sea lion repeatedly asks the character to explain.[5][6][7][8]
You're a troll.
