Yeah, plenty of people thought the same thing about faggotry and trannyism. When media validates degeneracy, it grows.

Fair enough, but just because a personal view coincided with a viable military advantage, should not be construed to mean he did it to free slaves, when there are far more compelling military arguments. At the very least, we should be able to agree that his concern for the well-being of freed southern slaves was near non-existent.

It was justified as a military necessity, as POTUS does not have the power to free slaves as a 'humanitarian move'. But only someone completely unfamiliar with Lincoln's long record of opposition to slavery could be fooled by that - and his subsequent support for abolition.

He did have the power to provision his military to be able to assist with the humanitarian crisis he created, though. It wasn't just "justified", it was the only purpose. Foment rebellion, decrease productivity, and inspire fear.

Which is completely logical. He may have had the raw resources and manpower, but he fought a far more determined enemy. It was a good play.

A representative sample would would have white males at 35% of the potential jury pool. That's a lot of veto power, to end up with 5 white women and 6 Pee Oh Sees.

The Emancipation Proclamation was a military move, not a humanitarian one. Lord Dunmore and Admiral Cochrane both used similar proclamations during the Revolutionary War, and the War of 1812, respectively. Lincoln just had the added complexity of assuaging Loyalist states.

Honestly, it was a complete disaster, from a humanitarian perspective. The Union columns had no ability or interest in helping these "freed" slaves, and it's estimated a quarter of them died of starvation and disease. But it did help sow chaos into southern states, both economically and socially, so it accomplished it's purpose.

As to his views on it, he seemed mostly Jeffersonian. On one hand, slavery was unnatural and wrong, but on the other, whites and blacks could not coexist on the same functional level.

“Reminiscent of Fascism is the principle that the state no longer leaves the economy to its own devices.… Without question, the mood accompanying this sea change resembles that of Fascism.”

He was more of a fascist, who could probably out-Mussolini Mussolini.

If you look at the Fascist Manifesto, it's spooky just how Progressive it is.

Eh, it was just a tranny joke. Also, too much self-awareness.

Nah, freedom is it's own tyranny. Immoral people don't have self control, so must have external control. Only those who minimize their exercise of liberty are worth having it at all.

Fair, but to expose illegal coverups, you need the bergs and steins media on your side.

Which everyone would do well to remember is a political process, not a judicial one.

At first, it looked all fake and gay. This seems to be a legitimate 3rd party collation of true and straight.

I dunno, man... a man's thoughts on what it feels like to be woman would seem to have less value.

Still does. Didn't catch like some other protestant religions, but it was still part of the English Separatism movement.

The homeless have a network and try to move based on better life

While true, many of them view "a better life" as lax drug laws, needle exchange programs, food programs, etc.

You don't make people comfortable in poverty. You serve them best by driving them out of it.
