I saw people saying Lincoln should be made a symbol of the American communist movement. When some pushed back against this, mainly citing the Dakota massacre as a reason, a mass of people started excusing it, saying that even if it was bad, we still need to appeal to the American public and Lincoln is popular. Literal MAGA communist logic lol
This has also been done before and if I remember right the head of the CPUSA at the time was a reactionary/revisionist. It was the same shit the ACP is doing.
I literally had this discussion today, and I didn't know how to answer. Are their any other reasons that Lincoln wasn't a good president, aside from what you just mentioned? I say this as someone wanting to learn more, not argue with you.
"If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that."
He passed the colonial homestead act.
He was a white supremacist. His opposition to slavery was never out of any moral disposition. Slavery really just wasn't profitable for the north anymore
He failed to ensure the reparations that were promised to enslaved americans. I think even toned them down from sherman’s proposal which saw the entire confederacy’s farmlands being redistributed towards black and poor white southerners to just North Carolina.
In addition to my other comments on Lincoln's support of the American Colonization Society in this thread, I'd also like to add here my criticism of how the Republican (and Democratic) parties at the time also set the foundation for the Guilded Age monopolies that would come after Lincoln with regards to their railroad policy which was tied to their general homesteading policy. They kinda screwed their own voters a generation later when the railroad monopolies started charging all those Republican-voting farmers in Kansas high rates on freight. Lincoln, being a product of Illinois politics like his Democratic contemporary, Stephen Douglas, was a product of that environment that was heavily influenced by budding railway interests.
They think they can win american libs over somehow with gestures- no they will never make it easy for us and allow us to play in the open on equal playing field.
aren't hexbears with reddit accounts basically running that place? thought it was a funnel to bring radicalized redditors here?
also a sort of outpost like r/trueanon? or maybe it was and just isn't anymore. everytime i peek at it just seems like a mix of early r/chapotraphouse and r/genzedong
but yeah i guess can be all these things and still be full of libs
Reddit is toxic as fuck for leftists. I tolerated it for years after r/cth got shut down, but even I had to leave as the open bigotry was on a whole new level. I'm assuming that a lot if the tankie types have moved on.
It's a recommended sub on the reddit app for people who frequent r/latestagecapitalism and other radlib subs so they've got a bunch of people who don't listen to Second Thought, Yu-Gi-Oh!pnik and Hakim's podcast. So it's actually a weird case of the subreddit being less hardline than the podcast. Like a bizarro r/cth
There are organized groups of liberals who work together and coordinate in discord to ensure that Reddit carries their propaganda and it is boosted with upvotes
Got a permaban from all of reddit after telling the people on /r/liberalgunowners that they shouldn't be looking back on Rhodesia with glistening eyes.
There are a handful of good SRA chapters and none of them have anything to do with the subreddit. In fact, anyone who posts on the sub and/or has positive opinions about national can be safely ignored.
