The USA founders kept children as sex slaves? Details on this?

Lol, they want Clinton to be as dirty as Trump so badly.

Nice fantasy world you’re living in.

lol, libs want to cling to the idea that their oligarchs are the good ones so badly

For liberals, and right wing in general, it's just another Red Team vs. Blue Team match with political flavor.

There is a world of room between “good” and “ran a child sex trafficking ring”. Clinton may be a POS for many reasons and he may have visited Epstine island and maybe even raped children (we don’t know at this point but anyone in the flight logs is sus). That is all absolutely terrible but it’s still very different than kidnapping 10’s or hundreds of children to rape and pimp. And the files seem to indicate that Trump was actively involved in this scheme for decades.

Were the Virginia planters keeping sex slaves capitalists though? Most of the capitalists at the time were up north where slavery was illegal by the founding.

Doesn't this apply to almost every country?

[–] frightful_hobgoblin@lemmy.ml 14 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

projecting lol

Americans are always amazed that different countries have different histories.

I've heard similar things about "aren't all countries founded on native genocide?"

Ok tell me about the country with the moral founding.

This silly, idealist question isn’t the gotcha you think it is.

[–] Alwaysnownevernotme@lemmy.world -3 points 2 hours ago (10 children)

Actually it's pretty foundational anarchist doctrine.

You’re bolstering my case, given anarchism’s track record. Communism is founded on historical materialism, not on morality or idealism.

But you don’t have to subscribe to communism to get value out of letting go of moralism.
