- Comment on William Sherman is not a hero or an icon to be admired 1 week ago:
Fair point. I did, however, specify what group I was talking about, and while there are definitely some woke racists out there, gonna say they’re not gonna be people I’d associate with regardless.

Sherman used brutal tactics to break the confederacy morale, including the burning of Atlanta. So, someone opposing Sherman because they’re racist is someone who thinks the confederacy was actually a good thing. Cause, ya know, they’re racist. Or very stupid. But, I repeat myself.

I mean, are our chicken scratches that different from their arrows and dots? They’re symbols that represent other ideas. Seems fairly straightforward to me.

I’m not being harsh cause they didn’t know. Being harsh cause they speculated instead of looking for the information. We all have access to any knowledge we want, and the link had already been posted in this thread before I said. And the explanation already given, as well.

Brother, you’re not a kick streamer, you don’t need to wildly speculate based solely on your own predetermined biases. Good lord

The capital was in Pennsylvania at the time, PA state law exempted Congress from slavery prohibitions, but it was legally unclear if that extended to other gov’t employees, namely the president. He kept moving so that he was never in PA for more than 6 months at a time, so that he could never be considered a resident of PA. He did it to prevent having a lawsuit to settle the question if PA’s law extended to his office, to avoid the appearance of a scandal, especially one so closely tied to the controversial subject of slavery.

Hopefully we’re talking about the mc’s appearance. Cause that show was very good and very stressful

Nah, you’re mad at the gross inequities of the system, not at the advancement. There is no mythical perfect past, it never existed. That’s just nostalgia with a twist. People in every age had escapist fantasy. There is a brighter future, but it requires you to make it happen (and yes, that you includes me)

Capitalist realism. The fantasy is winning capitalism, and the only way to win it is to invent it first.
I like Reincarnated as a Slime, cause community building is first before all else (it does mean meetings, cause that’s what building community looks like)

Context?

Yeah, but it’s a fucking can of worms and they collectively have the iq of a toaster. I don’t think it’ll shake out the way they’re expecting it to.
