Being terrified by how things are is healthy. Constantly and exclusively posting about things being awful forever is not only low-content, it's using the suffering of others as an excuse to get attention while lashing out at others for not being miserable like you. And certainly don't take glee in claiming things won't matter. Also, don't engage uglycat. Whether he's mentally ill or not, he's insufferable and wastes everyone's time. Don't be awful about Barron Trump. He's eleven years old. Every other Trump family member is fair, but let Barron be a kid for just a small bit. In general, just leave people's kids out of it. Don't try to be the tone police. Trump supporters constantly make death threats and vomit hate speech. It's okay to be assholes to them. In fact, it's your patriotic duty. The dog rule may be dead, but dog pictures are always appreciated. Saying "nothing matters" is useless or worse. By posting it you're either being an rear end in a top hat because you support awful people and don't want them punished, or you're letting depression make you into a loser by trying to inflict it on others. Don't put stroking your own ego about how pure you are over actual electoral and policy success. You feeling nice about never compromising doesn't keep disenfranchised people from dying. Things are not normal. Stop pretending they are. Stop criticizing people for being rightfully afraid, or for taking steps to protect themselves. An individual minority or woman being an awful person who enables Republicans is not an excuse to be a bigoted or sexist piece of poo poo. I thought this went without saying. skylined! puts it well here: "Nork" is racist. It is a slur. End of story. Juggalos are pretty chill people. Here's a documentary about them.

Random, and out of curiosity (new thread's got me questioning things (like: life, its meaning, and other existential but equally important deliberations, such as the following)): Is it pretty common among this thread's participants to visit this thread exclusively on SA? I guess I've posted a few times in the anime section about my excursion into that genre. But, it just occurred to me that I literally paid to register here without even exploring anywhere else. Is there anywhere else on here worth exploring? Do I need to don protection when venturing out of the safe confines of the Trump thread?

So, I am heavily pulling over some commentary elsewhere discussing the potential impact of the Stormy Daniels lawsuit. In this case, a bestof'd /r post involving the podcast Opening Arguments.quote:Her suit asks the court to decide whether a contract requiring her silence is valid. The contract is anonymized, meaning that both parties in the contract are referred to by pseudonyms (Stormy is PP and Trump is allegedly DD).

So is whatever happened to the last Trump Thread related to a quirk I've been having with the Politoons thread over the past couple days? The subforum view reports unread posts wrong for me there. If there's one new post, it acts like there aren't any. Two new posts, it says there's one. Et cetera. One time I had to manually put the page number in the address because the one new post was a page starter, and it thought I was on the last page.

I just posted an effortpost in the old thread, damned if I'm going to lose it.GreyjoyBastard posted:The Liberian experiment is a weird duck in that a bunch of American black nationalists were 200% in favor of the idea. GreyjoyBastard posted:The Liberian experiment is a weird duck in that a bunch of American black nationalists were 200% in favor of the idea. tl;dr: The Liberia experiment sorta did work, in that the returned slaves went all Andrew Jackson on the indigenous Liberians, wrote in their constitution that only black people can be citizens or own property, and every president until 1980 was a descendant of ex-slaves and never a native Liberian. The Liberia experiment sorta did work, just not in the way that we appreciate today. The folks that got settled were called the "Congo people": black freemen, former slaves, and in some cases people off of intercepted slave-ships who'd never gotten to the Americas. I'm simplifying, but the Congos got to Liberia and pretty shortly started using their superior position, weapons, and American backing to attack the indigenous Liberians. I was going to say "enslave" because that was my understanding, but some googling tells me that slavery was banned there from the get-go, so I'll just say "caused the indigenous Liberians to labor for them under sub-optimal conditions." They steadily grew the country by seizing tribal land, since Liberia was much smaller at the start. Basically, the Congos did to Liberia what white people did to North America, so you can draw some Israel/Palestine parallels there in terms of past experience informing future experience. Oh, and taking their cue from past experience, the Congos required voters to be (legal not tribal) private landowners, disenfranchising most of the indigenous Liberians. And fascinatingly enough their Constitution requires that to be a citizen or own property in Liberia, a person must be "of Negro blood". So the Lebanese and Indians expatriates who "own" properties in Liberia do so by funding a Liberian friend/employee to buy and own the property, with the unwritten understanding (probably backed by threats) that the expat will be the de facto but not de jure owner. I worked in Liberia for a small company, and when we were thinking about buying a housing/office space, we briefly considered bringing my American cousin (his dad is black and married my aunt) over to Liberia to "own" the property and "rent" it to the company. The Congos ended up basically ruling Liberia despite being a small minority, and every single president of Liberia was a Congo until 1980 when Doe (an ethnic Krahn) pulled a coup and seized power. He gets overthrown, and eventually tortured and murdered in front of news cameras while an insurgent general sips a (shudder) Bud Light while watching Doe's ears get cut off. I'm getting into the weeds, but the point is that "repatriating" former slaves to Liberia was effective in that it got them a techically-democratic state, run by black people and never colonized by white people even during the Scramble for Africa, and under the minority-rule of the Congos themselves. EDIT: This is kinda weird, but there's almost a Rhodesia/South Africa parallel where certain people wistfully say "yeah, too bad about Liberia, used to be a really nice country, you know, before..." It wasn't a rich country from 1820-1980, but it was relatively peaceful once they got done busting heads, and much like Rhodesia, if you were in the ruling minority it was a great place to live, and yet further like Rhodeisa the ex-ruling minority would be happy to tell you how much better things were for those ungrateful majorities in the "old days".
