It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
America is genocidal, sure, but so is every single other society in the history of civilization. America is exceptional because of the technology and the art it contributed to genocide, which is the goal of every civiliztion, remember. Pointing out the difference in scale of US atrocities just prevents us working together for greater justice.

I don't particularly remember making the claim that the US was unique in its use of chattel slavery, though your own source admits
And the numbers here are skewed by the US being counted separately from Britain while Portuguese colonies count for Portugal, to say nothing of the fact that most African diaspora slaves in the 13 colonies/US were born there, over 10 million, far more than what Portugal has in your chart.
You're doing Holocaust-denial-level dogshit apologetics for your precious little white supremacy capital.
You are clearly not reading my comments. There’s no denial here.
Also: no antagonism coming from me.
Pure civility.
And hope for a better future.
Dude, your last comment was 5 words.
Lmao I don't give a shit how polite you are while whitewashing America's abuse of black people.
Nuance is when you try to make it look like Portugal did more slavery than the US when it didn't.
Even if we granted Portugal did more slavery, Portugal isn't the world hegemon doing more than any other nation to maintain imperialism for the past 80ish years.
Sure, but also it just isn't true
You are such a fucking idiot, that's not what the page says. The page documents how many slaves were trafficked in the transatlantic slave trade based on the flag of the ship carrying them (which incidentally means the 13 colonies are counted under Britain). The vast, vast majority of slaves in the US were not brought there from Africa but born on US soil, as I already said. You are demonstrating not just your idiocy but your sniveling insincerity when you say "I didn't say anything like that" despite simultaneously arguing for that point, even after I explained that it was false and your source has no bearing on that fact.
Delete your account.
Sadly — my point was exactly that we were not exceptional. Not alone in this at all. Sorry you are intent of this game of getting the last word, but please keep trying?
America's record remains at the top of the chattel slavery bunch and your weird bullshit that you're too cowardly to own won't dupe anyone but moronic redditor chauvinists. Keep caping for the world capital of race science and forerunner of the Nazis.
