44 black intellectuals have written a letter of protest to Smith College for their treatment of low-paid white staff workers. “We didn’t march so that Americans of any race could be presumed guilty and punished for false accusations while the elite institution that employed them cowered in fear.”

Super. Now not only are you advocating for the racist colonizers, you're arguing for their right to keep other nations in poverty. What a gem you are. They must love you at the KKK meetings.

They must love you at the KKK meetings.

Democrats believe one's rights should change based on race, that the state should decide one's race, and that attempts to change one's race should be punished. Doubt we'd get along.

arguing for their right to keep other nations in poverty

I agree that many nations would be much better off left along. But you insistence on seeing people as a property of some arbitrarily defined organization is unhealthy. If your group wants you dead, and some other group welcomes you, could it be that your group isn't yours?

You are deliberately misrepresenting my arguments and putting words in my mouth. Your arguments are dishonest. There's no point to arguing with you. There's no changing the minds of neo-colonialists strip-mining brown countries of their best and brightest.

No U.

The world has reasons to be the way it is. Try changing it without removing the reasons and the world will just change back. You'll waste your energy without achieving anything.

A society that doesn't value the fruits of one's work, won't value one's life. Trying to extract payment from those who see no value in your work will bring resentment and endless conflicts. You can people to pay for what they don't want, you can't force them to value it.

Someone who is the best and brightest in your eyes, won't be the best and brightest for everyone. Everyone sees the world differently.

Because a creature has no reason to care about what it doesn't care about. At the roots of every morality system, are sources of pain or pleasure. The creature is affected, its mind changes, it begins searching the world for hypothetical causes.

Forcing everyone to follow your way, when they don't share your experience, is cruel and selfish. You are rewarded with pleasure, they get only pain. Wanting someone else to commit fruitless sacrifices for your enjoyment is even more cruel and selfish. Abandoning what one doesn't own is better than trying to take what isn't given.

You're not even replying to the points I made. Am I talking to a procedurally generated script? I get the idea I am.

People aren't property of their country, they have the right to pursue their understanding of happiness, as dictated by their nature. If for fulfilling their natural needs they have leave their country and anger their rulers by enriching some other country, their rulers can go fuck themselves.

You can't force people shaped by African climate to value the same things as the northerners. Trying to force every animal on the planet to live and act as you is stupid and cruel.

Your mom is a procedurally generated script, NPC.

Chipit. I assure you, your logic is flawed. And as usual, you are accusing the other person of being a bot or a script. Which you do so often, I fear it is your mental defense for a non defensible position.

It's replying like a script. It's taking my words as input and coming out with a nonsensical argument. Pretending I'm in favor of slavery? And being pro-colonialist? Nobody in the world holds those positions.

"It's replying like a script. It's taking my words as input and coming out with a nonsensical argument."

You've said similar things about me once, after I pointed out that one of your replies was misogynistic, and disconnect from reality.

"Pretending I'm in favor of slavery?"

Your comments came off as those of a leftist speaking for PoC. Speaking of them as assets, and then not understanding the counter argument that they are not. This is where the slavery reference comes into play.

So leftists are in favor of slavery. We're done here. You obviously live in Bizarro World. You, sir, are sick with the same disease you accuse your opponents of having. A strong case can be made that they caught it from you.

This isn't a debate. Nobody is watching. It's just you and me here in this thread now. And I am telling you what's going on. I am concerned that you are not getting enough Omega-3 in your diet, nor an adequate supply of minerals, and probiotics. Take care of yourself won't you? Not everything is a struggle.
