  • Or hitler killing like 6 million unarmed Jews, or the other slave trades that lasted far longer, or the terrible human experiments Japan did to people during ww2, or when hundreds of black people were blocked from having their syphilis cured for 50 years because scientists just wanted to see what happens, or the tons of times entire cities would be raped and pillaged and taken over with no male child left alive… I mean, there’s been so many atrocious acts done by humanity… To actually vote and say this was the worst one is just tacky.


  • Acknowledged? It’s always been acknowledged. This was a vote to say it was the single worst thing ever done by humanity… Ever.

    This. Not the slave trades that lasted far longer, or any of the wars or rapings or genocides or slaughtering of children or ww2 human experiments or anything else. It was a vote to say that this one thing was the shittiest thing humanity has ever done.


  • Everyone should have voted no. The African enslavement was really fucked up, but “the worst human attrocity in history, ever”? The world has done some really, really, fucked up things. I don’t really even know why this particular slavery would be picked out from the other slaves over thousands of years except that is was pretty recent and large scale. Why is the world even voting on this shit while on the verge of world war three, while it seems that half the rich elites running the governments are pedophiles?


  • I got 3 things to say on this:

    If the vote was to recognize it as the worst thing humanity has done, I’d vote against. I feel like there are a couple other things that were even worse. Even only considering enslavement, out of all of history, I would have reservations against saying this was the absolute worst of it.

    Every country that abstained was just against it, and didn’t have the balls to vote it.

    Yeah, the US is an asshole. They’re screwing it all up across the globe and they’re also why Cuba is still fucked. Eat the rich.












  • A retroactive tax is pretty bullshit.

    It being a one time tax with a “if you lived here 1-1-26” is also idiotic. The billionaires wouldn’t even pay. It’d just be tied up in courts for like the next 20 years.

    Not beginning until you hit a billion dollars is also stupid.

    It needs to start at a much lower net worth, be every fucking year, not be retroactive to a single date on the calendar that happened before the vote (cause that really is bullshit to do), and be on some sort of increasing percentage instead of just a flat 5.
