So Congress declared slavery in the South as an Economic Insurrection. That is the terminology they used to start the civil war. And it is accurate.
But what does an economic insurrection do? It forces Americans who are already here into poverty!
If the institution of slavery was an Economic Insurrection it means that slaves were brought to our nation as part of an economic insurrection. Now there are many ways to think about that. Does it bear relevance in any way as to restitution? I don't believe in that. But I also don't believe their are many avenues to escape poverty.
Once an American if forced into poverty what are the odds that they "get out of it?" Not very likely?
But in order to escape poverty you are more likely to if you have some culture and class to you? If you talk and sound like you understood grammar class and not a different version of our language?
In other words if you act in manners indicating you want to succeed in life. You are respectful of other people and not territorial? You respect the potential to learn and academically develop...of other people.
It isn't really fair to make a comparison between slavery and immigration but it is the same principle in terms of people coming here to live here and hopefully be a good worker here or if they become a member of the wealth class they do not seek to create subjective barriers to upward mobility.
Slaves didn't come here with a backpack full of cocaine! They didn't come here with drugs hidden in their body cavities.
Which means what?
The idea of members of a community being able to meet the needs of their community? The idea of members of a community being an active meaningful part of that community. But some communities are in cities and some are rural. And you don't really grow food in cities in order to meet the needs of that community. And to be fair machines make mass production of food products an issue of one being able to feed a great many.
And I am not a big fan of the mentally retarded working on farms or coops or what are they called cults? I think that abuse finds its way in that the way that slaves were abused and hence it represents the potential as being an economic insurrection. Let me satire it? Person B owns a brewery. The beer that women drank sold by person B which got person B rich also caused their children to be born with irreversible mental retardation. Now let say that person B has a brother we will call person F. Person F is viewed as a real humanitarian because he provides housing for those mentally impaired to work on his farm. To me that is an economic insurrection too, and a fairly horrible one.
Now perhaps I too am an advocate of extreme measures to protect our borders. Why?
Because every backpack full of drugs represents an American who is going to have delayed mental development? And their reward system based on achievement has been substituted for the reward of drugs
So back to comments centered around slavery. It started to hint at a racial tone? So can it be fairly stated that slaves were brought here as part of an economic insurrection. So congresses declared the victims of that as being the hard working Americans who were already here. And the slaves were definitely victims of it too But in order to go to war and free them it had to be declared an economic insurrection. Why you moan? Because it was forcing Northerners into poverty. And what would then happen?
And be fair. Don't try and pretend white is bad. Those forced into poverty would have also been made slaves. White red or black.
How many in poverty also see the middle class who face subjective barriers and perhaps nepotistic religious barriers to upward mobility as also on their same side?
Have a happy new year.
