I really don't know which lunatic decided that a White kid born in 2005 owes the world an apology for something that happened 300 years ago
Slavery wasn't some White invention. Every civilization did it. Africans sold other Africans. The Arab slave trade ran for over a thousand years and enslaved millions. Nobody talks about that
And guess who actually ended it? The West. Britain banned the trade and literally sent its navy out to hunt down slave ships. That part somehow never makes it into the lecture
Meanwhile, slavery still exists today in parts of Africa and the Middle East. Mauritania only made it a crime in 2007. You will never see the outrage or the protests... Nothing but silence
But in the West, people are told to feel guilty for being born. Criminals get excused because "the system made him do it." Repeat offenders get arrested again and again and walk right back out. The victim gets forgotten and the criminal gets treated like the victim
Seriously, how did it get this bad? The same civilization that built the modern world and ended slavery is now tearing itself apart and calling it morality
You have no reason to feel guilty for things that happened centuries ago. You don't even remember what you ate last week
This isn't compassion, it's insanity
This is literally civilizational suicide

Last week, Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson visited the Big Apple and showed off her fourteen-pound weight loss.
Hopefully this will not interfere with her official duties of sitting on her fat ass all day long.

We don't know what this man is paid.
We don't know what his job is, what his responsibilities are, what his financial situation looks like, or even whether this schedule he's on right now is typical. For all we know someone was injured or otherwise had to take time off and he's happily picking up a ton of overtime.
Somehow, we've already decided to infer that he's an exploited worker, underpaid and abused by a greedy corporation. Based on what, exactly?
It's fascinating to me is how quickly some people turn a perfectly ordinary observation into a moral loyalty test. People are praising Red Baron for how it handled a viral social media incident. That's it.
They're saying the company did something clever, funny, or appropriate in response to an unexpected situation.
Apparently, before you're allowed to praise a company's social media engagement, you're required to investigate its entire labor history, ownership structure, compensation policies, and corporate ethics. If you find something objectionable, you're no longer permitted to acknowledge anything the company does well.
Here's a radical idea: Two things can be true at the same time.
Red Baron handled this particular incident brilliantly. Red Baron might also have terrible employment practices.
The employee might be perfectly happy with his compensation and schedule. Or he might be horribly overworked and underpaid. We don't actually know.
Here's the important part: None of those possibilities changes whether the company handled the viral incident well.
This illustrates something I've noticed increasingly in political discourse, particularly on the left: the tendency to treat moral judgments as absolute and indivisible.
Once someone or something has been designated bad, you're obligated to condemn everything associated with it. Acknowledging anything positive becomes an act of political betrayal.
I find that an extraordinarily limiting way to look at the world.
I'd rather call balls and strikes. If a company handles a public relations situation well, I'll say so. If that same company exploits its employees, I'll condemn that, too.
I don't need to pretend the first thing didn't happen to acknowledge the second.

"Garak Bots, what I want to know is, out of all the medical reports you provided me, which ones are true and which ones aren't?"
"They are all true."
"Even the hallucinations?"
"Especially the hallucinations."
