And I hope you quit dancing around the fact that they killed far more than just slavers. Like I've already said, I support killing slave owners just as much as I support killing monarchs.
Not the women and children and poor that they murdered. What part of "indiscriminate slaughter" do you not understand? Race has literally nothing to do with it. Genocide is bad even if a black person does it. Genocide is bad even if the victims share a nationality with slave owners.
Again, I cannot believe that I'm arguing in favor of not murdering innocent people, and I'm the fucking bad guy here
The barrier between innocent and guilty isn't as clear to me. The wives and children were profiting from the slavery as much as the direct owners. I don't necessarily agree with the excess murders, but that doesn't mean I condemn the revolution, because slavery was killing many, many more than the liberation did. It was a net positive though mistakes were made, but honestly I can't blame them after what they were forced to live through. The blame is not on the revolutionaries, it is on the enslavers for creating these conditions.
I think I have to block you now. I've never been filled with this kind of indignant fury before. "I don't necessarily agree with rape and murder, but..." Kindly rid this platform of your vile presence
Ok, enslaver supporter. Get off your white horse, you literally said you support beheading monarchs.
