Is Canada a testing ground? The idea that such a thing has been proposed is chilling to the max.

Their kids and grandkids are as much the victims as the oldsters.

Is Russia, in reality, "The Borg"?

Look to Japan, which developed elaborate systems of manners and mores to deal with the challenges of lots of people living together on islands of limited space.

You can find examples of communally oriented societies where people have few problems seeing the benefits of forms of collectivism. Communities that foster the needs of the group rather than fetishize the desires of the individual are not rare in human history, no subjugation necessary.

Tiberius: This video is incredible.The eloquence, passion and intellect of @KendallGardner makes a complete mockery of ignoramuses like @piersmorgan who label student protesters ‘children.’ The future is coming, and we won’t accept complicity in war crimes.

What an ass Piers Morgan proves himself to be time and time again. His face is one I associate with the word "smugnorance."

But for how long? Outgo vs. income eventually matters.

Housing is tight and vacancies bring in no revenue while costs continue.

Finland Rattled by Political Strikes Against the Conservative Governments’ Anti-Union Agenda ✦ OnLabor

Finland, which has a history with Russia that colors the national psyche, joined NATO last year (https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/news_213448.htm). Finland shares the longest border with Russia, and it's being fortified (https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/finland-starts-fence-russian-border-amid-migration-security-concerns-2023-04-14/). Finland may be a place to watch.

Why doesn't China do the right thing with all their extra land, money and housing and take in the Migrants from other countries?

A glance at OP's brief history at saidit and briefer history here is revealing.

Should America cut all foreign aid to take care of the homeless and people of America? Especially since most countries hate America right?

I've shared that sentiment since this OP appeared on--tellingly--Apr. 1.

Check OP's brief posting history here. Blatant attempts to entertain self and provoke others.

(cat toy alert)

This 17-day-old OP account has moved on from this Apr. 1 post and HEAVY CAPS playground-level responses: https://saidit.net/s/WayOfTheBern/comments/chvt/why_is_slavery_legal_in_africa_unlike_america_who/

Gosh, should I visit Africa and bring care packages to African slaves enslaved by Africans to prove how much I care? Can I come with you when YOU visit with your care packages to show your caring?

We here at WotB will miss you one of these days. Because we care so much about what you care so much about caring about.

Isn't this fun? SO glad you dropped by with all those good words on Apr. 1 and stayed through Apr. 2.

The floor is all yours, you caring care bear.

Don't you care? Caring makes SUCH a DIFFERENCE! Let's all sit in a circle and sing kumbaya to show how much we care. What are YOU doing to show how much YOU care? 😺 Because, y'know, all your "good words" are very very cheap. But CARINGLY cheap.

You must be as bored as you are boring. I'm leaving your little playground soon so you can poop in the sandbox by yourself. There are other sites to litter with your brand of puerility.

Ciao, little one. Rant on while we grin, probably more broadly than you do with these antics.

Are you a native speaker of English? You misuse the word "bully.

Kindly continue the ALL CAPS meltdown. This is a slow news day.

You have a unique and narrow understanding of what "shutting down" means. I haven't challenged the "good word" you're spreading all over this joint. I'm asking you what else you're doing about African slaves?

Talk is cheap, newbie.

What you're spreading is a lot of the same words, and some whiffy exudate. I'm asking for ACTIONS--what YOU have DONE other than spend time here chastising strangers. [CAPS are CONTAGIOUS!]

What's your motive for badgering and bullying with zero information about YOUR good efforts to improve that situation or links to organizations that are trying to combat it?

You've discharged your self-appointed duty of informing this sub. Now you can use your time informing other social media sites without offering ANY suggestions about what to do about it.

So about YOUR suggestions for DOING SOMETHING about those "REAL AFRICAN SLAVES IN AFRICA ENSLAVED BY AFRICANS"--what are they, where are they, your wise words for those who might spare a moment of concern from the pressing challenges of their daily lives?

Citations, please. Again: What are you doing about it? Ad pitches need a call to action. What action are you trying to move people to undertake to improve this situation? I see nothing but outrage that sounds faux and castigation of others.
