Oh I’m familiar with those points. Doesn’t mean I don’t want the data. The “told you so” capability in it would be fantastic and hilarious, however ineffective.
For one thing, most slave owners treated their slaves well.
Go read up on “Song of the South”.
Modern hand wringers find it offensive because it depicted the slaves as being “unrealistically happy”, and “therefore offensive”.
It is to lul.
“You imbeciles. We are slaves NOW. Are you ever happy or are you always miserable?”
“Hurr durr but we are talking about chattel style slavery.”
“‘Chattel’ and ‘cattle’ derive from the same word. So does ‘vac(a)-cinate’, which literally means ‘pertaining to cattle’.”
“You’re reading too much into words.”
“No, you’re too blind to see truth.”
As much as I really want to deal with people in love, their stupidity and insistence on remaining blind really pisses me off.
Serious respect to anyone who’s been awake since the 70’s. I don’t know how you’ve put up with this sort of thing for so long.
Hm. I was mostly awake at an early age. If memory serves, I was in junior high to late grade school when Clinton was first elected. Even then, I instinctively knew that something wasn't right. I was also blessed to have a wonderful teacher (who was also a coach) that went out of his way to teach real history, even going as far as to teach out of what would have been called an 'out-of-date' history text book. Looking back, while I had some lousy teachers, I had some who were surprising gems as well, especially for a public school.
As to people who are asleep to the truth, just be careful in what you share. Red pilling is sometimes a slow process and is best done in small doses ... And no, red suppositories are not probably not viable options.
My personal view on those who aren't awake to the truth varies. For people who literally can't take in the truth because they aren't mentally wired to take in the full scope of what is really going on, I share only what they can handle. For others? Patience is the key. Some have to learn through seeing things happen in their own lives and maybe they'll start to see evidence proving what you told them before.
The hardest thing is to do it out of love and even care for those who antagonize you. For those who don't know Christ, there's only one outcome, and it's not something that I would even wish upon anyone. Suffering for the cost of your sins is one thing to wrap your mind around, someone doing it for eternity is something else entirely that is hard to even comprehend. Not saying criminals shouldn't suffer the consequences of their crimes, just that keeping the eternal perspective is important. A murderer deserves death which pays for the crime according to our law. God's law is higher and the penalty for rejecting the only way for your sins to be paid for is something infinitely more severe given what it cost to allow for that payment.
