I think the issue with the downvotes is because you said that slaves could just run away. It comes across like you are simplifying the problem. I don't want to assume that's what was intended, it just doesn't come across well. And, you are correct that modern times still have similar corruption. I just hope society on average understands why it's not okay compared to back then.

At least howler monkeys know when to shut up

I absolutely see your point and agree with you. The unfortunate part is that by the time these kids graduate from highschool they have been indoctrinated. The ones I would be the most worried about aren't going to college anyways. There should be sanctions from the rest of the country that discourages people from moving there in the first place. Sanctions that discourage having kids there. If you want a family with children then get the fuck out. Help those people get the fuck out. You're right that we need to undoctrinate the older ones. That won't be as affective as just stopping people going there in the first place.

Yeah those runaways that were caught were either killed or made an example of with public torture. Runaways decided that between existing in slavery, being killed on the spot, being tortured, or maybe getting away was worth the risk. It was that bad that they risked everything. I can only imagine the bravery that was needed to decide.

Yes the one state known for its very respectable public education in the US. I do feel bad for the students who without their knowledge, are being indoctrinated into fascist beliefs without even knowing. Let's talk about it. Let's not frame it like genocide is ever acceptable. Let's talk about how humans were tortured and killed out of curiosity and especially hate. Dehumanized animals subjected to things torturers would love to try themselves. To those people who want to keep doing it, you're on the chopping block too

Even if his argument was in any way accurate, that flag clearly does not currently mean what he's defending. I grew up in the south, went to college in the south, etc... If you want southern pride all over the place (I don't see why you would be proud of that with how awful it's going) then just fly your state flag. Certain parts have beautiful nature and culture that is absolutely great. The stars and bars have nothing to do with it. It's not even accurate as a Confederate flag. A swastica on a flag is so outside of this "southern flag" idea that it should mean an immediate investigation of the people flying it.

Are you talking about Germans or Americans with your comment?

Sounds like we need to rebrand the original word "socialism" to something without the Nazi continuation. I'm thinking humanism (I'm worried that might turn into complete disrespect for any non-human form of life) or human dignitarian. I'd love to hear better versions than what I just came up with on the fly.

I got it, but in our current age with what's going on we need to be clear unfortunately. We will not accept fascist/Nazi views and should do everything possible to remove them from society. Tolerance of intolerance (specifically in the context of this post) does not fly. Those views are not welcome in modern society. They should never be welcome in any society. This isn't for you SeaJ. It's for anyone who could even contemplate that ideology. If you sympathize with Nazi ideology you are not welcome here and "here" is Earth. Go subjugate Pluto and get off my planet!

3rd party apps

Yep I get it. Everything is early and has room for improvement. I am impressed with how well made these apps are with how new they are. Way back with the start of 3rd party reddit, it was sometimes pretty rough compared to where it got. That said, the completely unfriendly and abhorrent interactions those apps had to deal with since reddit has some shaky coding might explain the struggles. I know nothing about Lemmy on that front, but there's clearly devs who care and have used prior knowledge to skip some pains.

I tried Jerboa first and now I'm on connect. I like them both but I think I'll stick with connect. It might be worth a look.
