Would Right wing nuts welcome a return to slavery?

[Cyrano]

IMO, you bet they would.

Face it. They see black people as inferior. They love that miserable fucking confederate flag (rag) that represents slavery. They attack those who protest in the streets about the murders of blacks. There is little to no difference between right wing "ideology" and "Nazi ideology." They would love to see concentration camps for black and brown people, but what the hell -- free slave labor is more profitable.

You may or may not agree with what I just said. But I despise America's right wing because of their hatreds, their ignorance, their barbarism, their love of violence, their attempts to divide us all, and, perhaps most of all, because of their love of an insane man -- their orange "Dear Leader."

America's wingnuts need to be shunned by decent, civilized people everywhere. I've personally turned my back on acquaintances and even a relative with whom I want nothing to do.

If you want to see a better world, call out the crazies for what they are and then do everything you can to turn them into outcasts who have no place in a sane society.

I know I sound like a purist fanatic, but after year's of letting the haters get away with anything they want to get away with, and then packing the courts, and cheering on every murder of a black human being, that's where I am today.

1. If they're not the ones being enslaved? Sure.

n/t

[sandensea]

2. In the South they would.

Mind you, 98% of white people in the Antebellum/Confederate era were not slaveholders - most, in fact, lived ever worse than the average slave.

Slaves, after all, were 'property', and had to at least be minimally cared for.

White trash weren't nothin' to no one - but that doesn't stop their descendants from being nostalgic.

And nostalgic is putting it mildly!

3. In a Stonewall Jackson second...nt

[SoonerPride]

4. Yes of course they would

[I_UndergroundPanther]

5. I'll say it again

The right wing all of it is the pro sociopath party.

Thier party platform is sociopathic.

Time to get rid of the entire right wing and eliminate that cancerous
party from the body politic
forever . And never forget the beliefs that are so wrong they almost killed a country .

6. For many, it's their raison d'etre.

They live for it. I've had a few RWNJs tell me that the 13th Amendment was illegal.

[jalan48]

7. I'm sure some of our oligarchs would. Cheap labor.

[crickets]

19. Citizens United + 'right-to-work' laws...

For many people, the result is really not that far off the mark.

[bobbieinok]

8. Of course

Doug Wilson, a white conservative preacher who has a church and school in Idaho--wrote a book about how slavery was so great for blacks

AND there's a recent movement among some white preachers to rename 'white privilege' 'white blessing'.

Because IIRC white privilege brought civilization to world! Blog friendlyatheist at patheos has several recent posts about this movement

[stillcool]

9. depends on what their masters tell them..

there is very little thinking done by that crowd.

[PCIntern]

10. I've said that for years and

They would also wish to rescind the right to vote from women.

[JustAnotherGen]

11. you aren't a purist - you are identifying the face of evil

Nationally, further analyses of the YouGov data show a similar trend: Nearly 20 percent of Mr. Trump’s voters disagreed with Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, which freed slaves in the Southern states during the Civil War. Only 5 percent of Mr. Rubio’s voters share this view.

At least 25% would be in favor of bringing black slavery. That is why we vote in November. We must bring these monsters to heel

12. Of course not,

Do the math, Capitalism as it practiced today is cheaper than slavery. The 1% don’t care about white skin, they care about green dollars. And if the question is whether the 1% would be willing to pay white people substantially more money than POC, combined with premium benefits and pension plans (so that the lifestyle could be maintained post work years), I think the answer is no. So, unless that changes, I maintain Capitalism is cheaper than slavery - and as practiced today, lots of whites have joined the post-slavery labor market as semi-slaves.

Maybe what they would like is a return to Jim Crow era laws and practices. Of course, then there are the questions as to how they would be able to enforce it and even apply it. Me thinks that if they decided to do such a thing, we as a nation would have to implement very strict gun controls. Me thinks that poisons would have to be restricted, combined with certain types of fertilizers...and I could go on and on...

Then, with so many mixed people as we have today, combined with those passing as whites, would there be DNA tests to determine who would be the slaves... and the surprise of so many whites that would discover that they have a degree of Black blood.... I am almost laughing thinking about this.

My thoughts...

15. Here's my wish

One hundred years from now, intermarriage will be so common that no will care, or even know, who is black, brown, white, or even care.

I guess I'm hoping for a world that sane human beings of all colors have forever hoped for.

Oh, and fuck capitalism as it is practiced today. It's a scam run by the ultra wealthy.

What I want to see is a world in which no one is in hunger, want, need, or pain.

So, I'll stick to this fantasy and hope that this world comes to be. Unfortunately, most of us won't live to see it. I hope I'm wrong about this and it won't take another hundred years.

MLK told us about the arc of justice. How much longer? How fucking much longer?

18. From your lips to God's ears.

21. The British philosopher Thomas Carlyle

said he couldn't understand the American Civil War. The South wanted to own their slaves while the North wanted to rent them by the hour.

[Dan]

24. Love it....

[redstatebluegirl]

13. Where I live they would.

[Dustlawyer]

14. Not if they have to be the slaves this time!

[LeftInTX]

16. Are they right wing nuts?

Of course they would

[CousinIT]

17. A return? I wasn't aware America had really abolished it.

It has changed form somewhat.

But to answer your question, yes, I think Republicans would adore a return to legally selling humans (people of color and women) as work mules for white males. Absolutely.

[Quixote1818]

20. Yes, about 30% of our country are criminals and evil deep down. nt

[Cyrano]

22. Seems that the 30% is Trump's hard core base. Coincidence?

[electric_blue68]

23. Unfortunately, it's true. I've seen the Web sites.... : (

Several years back I clicked on some Right Wing Christian sites because some years earlier than that I'd read that RW religious groups "Christian Dominists" groups
(among other things) want to keep women as 2nd or 3rd class citizens, stone gay people, and support Slavery (again) for black people.

Well, I just had to see myself so I clicked on a few. =0 Um... Shocked but not completely surprised. There they were touting Bible verse after Bible verse about Slavery.

So I know it's true. Terrifying!

[madville]

25. Probably depends on the economics of it

Would it be cheaper and be as productive as modern migrant workers and farm machinery? Automation in factories? I doubt it.
