How?

is that what you're asking

Yeah, how so?

@Anarchist-Communist This is just telling me crime rates in a small area..... what does this prove?

you're not being clear on what you're arguments even are

This iss an odd claim

shit like the cotton gin was a thing

which deliberately ramped up slavery in the us

I really like anecdotal evidence

Tha'ts not even relevant period

@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

@Deleted User If I am correct, didn't automation BOOST slavery?

yes it did

I said that

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cotton_gin

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
