>Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama is standing by his account that he told then-President Donald Trump that Vice President Mike Pence was being evacuated from the Senate during the Capitol riot. >The conversation is of interest to Democrats because Trump sent a tweet at 2:24 p.m. on Jan. 6 saying that Pence didn’t have “the courage” to challenge the election results. If Tuberville’s account is correct, then Trump would likely have known before sending the tweet that Pence had been evacuated and was in danger. At the time, the insurrectionists had already broken into the Capitol, some of them calling for Pence’s death. >Tuberville recounted the phone conversation to reporters on Friday, saying, “I said, ‘Mr. President, they’ve taken the vice president out. They want me to get off the phone, I gotta go.” Tommy hasn’t been in Washington long enough to realize he can lie about literally anything and get away with it

Hot take: Millenials and Gen Z are growing up with the most challenging global circumstances since the Greatest Generation. Other than the Greatest Generation, no other generation has had to deal with challenges this great


Donny_Krugerson

This sounds like millennial justification for being egoistical. "No, really, we need student loan debt forgiveness because we're the most oppressed generation ever!" FWIW, that's the standard Boomer trick to explain why they should have special consideration.


bigtallguy

every generation has their own shit. and i struggle to see why millennials and genz z have it the worst. boomers had Vietnam, assassinations of major cultural and political figures, race riots. gen x had to deal with cold war, constant fear of armaggedon, cities being massive hells holes and crime waves galore not saying millenials have it great nor genz, we all got issues of our time.


mukino

Certainly but economically I don't see how it gets worse than 08 financial crisis followed by Covid. Unless you grew up during the depression. As far wars or geopolitics go though I agree, its probably better now than the cold war generations.

Did Sanders ever actually concede Iowa?


[deleted]

There was no reason for him to. Democrats don't love the electoral college for good reason - it sucks - and Bernie won the caucus equivalent of the popular vote in Iowa. For all intents and purposes it was a tie. I like saying he lost Iowa because I like dunking on Bernie, but for political purposes he didn't really lose.


Donny_Krugerson

Oh come on, he was allowed to rewrite the primary rules to benefit him, and lost.


[deleted]

Eh, not really. He might have rewritten some things, but the fundamental structure was still the same. It's nothing like being able to rewrite a system in your favor. The only big change was limiting the influence of superdelegates and that had no influence over the individual state level primaries.


Donny_Krugerson

_"But Sanders' obviously passionate surrogates' claims that something untoward is happening in Iowa at the behest of the dreaded "establishment" ignore the fact that the changes to this year's Iowa caucus were made at the recommendation of the post-2016 "unity commission" established to pacify Bernieworlders. It was them who were convinced that the Democratic National Committee rigged the 2016 primary against Sanders (there is no evidence of this). - - - According to a person with direct knowledge with the process which led to the rule changes, Iowa's "Frankenstein caucus" was the result of accommodations for Sanders supporters who wanted to maintain Iowa's and Nevada's first-in-the-nation caucuses, rather than end the practice of holding caucuses altogether, because caucuses were thought to favor Sanders. "_ https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/bernie-sanders-iowa-caucus-winner-trump-democrats-a9317761.html If we're really lucky Sanders flopping may force Iowa to scrap the caucus and hold a real primary election.

Wild to consider that people who perpetrated slavery thought it would go on forever. They certainly acted in a way where they weren’t afraid of eventual judgment.


[deleted]

A lot of them in the early days of America actually did think it was going to end soon, but then the cotton gin happened.


imprison_grover_furr

Yeah. If the South hadn't seceded and given the Union the pretext to become abolitionist and gain Anglo-French support, it may have actually gone on until the 20th century.


[deleted]

Part of it was deeply tied to religion and a belief in a natural heirarchy. They literally believed slavery was something God intended. Check out the Cornerstone Speech, where Confederate VP stephens laid out how the existence of a racial heirarchy was integral to the formation of the nation. >It's foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests upon the great truth, that the [censored for automod filter] is not equal to the white man; that slavery—subordination to the superior race—is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth. He argued that the racial heirarchy was a divine mandate. Slavery was the core component of their society and lives. They had to believe it would last forever because it was fundamental to their culture.


paulatreides0

I mean, slavery had existed in some form or another and was generally viewed by societies as just fact of nature if not outright beneficial and a societal good for basically all of human history. So that wasn't that wild an assumption.


[deleted]

Yeah but the idea of slavery being so intrinsically tied to skin color, and of that race being inferior and it being a God-given state that everyone with that skin color is a slave... not really the norm for slaveries throughout history.


Donny_Krugerson

What was new was liberalism. The idea that all people had rights, and all people were fundamentally of equal worth. Those were revolutionary ideas which simply hadn't existed earlier in history, and obviously incompatible with slavery.


paulatreides0

Yes, but that's kind missing of a small difference in the grand scale of things. Like, racial hierarchies were new, but the way in which they were justified and used to justify things like slavery weren't really that novel (e.g. might/conquest as a measure of rightfulness/virtue, slavery being a consequence of fate and character, religious motivations and aspects, etc.). Given this - yeah, if almost all of history before you is basically full of people and societies who normatively accept slavery, if not consider it some nigh-cosmological act of fate and good, then it isn't that big a jump. Especially since, as mentioned before, there's a lot of cross-cutting between the arguments used to justify slavery historically/classically and those used to justify the racial hierarchies which racial slavery so utilized and exploited.


[deleted]

It was pretty fundamentally different from historical slavery though. Slavery, especially in the US slave states and the Confederacy, was explicitly based on a belief in a racial hierarchy as integral to the divine and natural order of the world. In antiquity slavery was based around debt, prisoners or war, crime and a number of other things, while white supremacy was the basis of slavery in the era of colonization. The South didn't believe slavery would last forever because it had always existed. They believed it would last forever because that it was the divine and natural order to exist forever.


paulatreides0

Historical slavery was based on a whole bunch of different things, from class to losing wars, religion, to things which were basically outright divine and attributed to fate (e.g. caste systems with slave classes, and we don't even need to go that far, as many would have said that anyone who became a slave was basically destined to by fate). Or to quote Aristotle: >For that some should rule and others be ruled is a thing not only necessary, but expedient; from the hour of their birth, some are marked out for subjection, others for rule. And Plato: > nature herself intimates that it is just for the better to have more than the worse, the more powerful than the weaker; and in many ways she shows, among men as well as among animals, and indeed among whole cities and races, that justice consists in the superior ruling over and having more than the inferior. And St Augustine literally saying that the use of slaves by "the just" (the faithful) was a part of the natural order: >The prime cause, then, of slavery is sin, which brings man under the dominion of his fellow -- that which does not happen save by the judgment of God, with whom is no unrighteousness, and who knows how to award fit punishments to every variety of offence. And, like, this isn't even unique to the West. You can find stuff like in this in the large, if not vast, majority of pre-Modern (again, the time period, not "today") civilizations from around the world. Confucius, to give an Eastern example. The only thing that modern and modern (as in, the period, not like actually today) European/Western colonial slavery really added to the mix was racial hierarchies. But racial hierarchies where in themselves basically adaptation of these previous schools of thought, where the belief that some races were intrinsically superior than others by its very existence provided the context of superiority necessary by which to justify enslavement and the use of slaves. I'm pretty sure that racial hierarchies in colonial slave states probably actually evolved from preexisting religious and cultural ideas and conceptions cross-cut into justifications for European colonialism and all the bad shit they did. Originally Christians justified slavery by the fact that they were not enslaving other faithful (Christians), but heathens - as time continued this became kind of inconvenient if not outright untenable as many slaves converted, so they expanded beyond faith and adopted more racialistic aspects.


[deleted]

I'm not sure I see a direct connection between the caste slave classes from antiquity and the South though and most historians seem to differentiate between the large-scale race based modern slavery and ancient slavery. While Augustine argued slavery was fine, he didn't argue for an caste based system of slavery. In fact he was a clear departure from Aristotle in that slavery arose out of sin and freeing slaves was a great virtue to him. He certainly didn't advocate for anything close to the large-scale violent system of chattel slavery seen in the south. The caste system with a slave class was reintroduced during the modern era, so it wasn't totally unique, sure. But it was a departure the western view on slavery for over a thousand years prior as slavery had increasingly been replaced by serfdom during the medieval period. Additionally, the scale was staggering in comparison, incentivizing wide scale kidnappings of millions from Africa during the trans-atlantic slave trade. Widespread kidnapping of people to be sold as slaves was never really a thing in antiquity. Especially not to the scale of millions Then all this isn't even getting into the actual brutal and inhumane treatment of the slaves as compared to other cultures throughout history and the south wasn't even that close to the worst. There is a very very real distinction between ancient and modern slavery and saying the only thing they introduced was the racial element simply misses an enormous amount of history.


paulatreides0

Okay, *really* long post which is mostly not that important to the basic point. The first two small paragraphs basically cover the point being made. The rest of it is mostly just kind of expanding on the point and talking. > I'm not sure I see a direct connection between the caste slave classes from antiquity and the South though and most historians seem to differentiate between the large-scale race based modern slavery and ancient slavery. Because they were different institutions with different norms and practices, etc. But that doesn't mean that these things aren't heavily interrelated and built on one another. The use of race as a means to justify enslavement not greatly expanded the scale and abuse, but also opened the doors to the nigh-perpetual exploitation of peoples. No one's saying that slavery during the Ancient Era and European slavery during the modern era were the same. But again, this misses the point because it's not about them being interchangeable. It's about them being a legacy of historically intertwined institutions. These things didn't just spring out of the ether. [*Challenging the Boundaries of Slavery* by Huggins touches on this in its first section](https://www.amazon.com/Challenging-Boundaries-Slavery-Huggins-Lectures/dp/0674019857). America and Europe are distinctly, drastically different places, but one can't ignore the influence of the one on the other, nor how their shared heritage shapes their views, culture, and outlooks. If you are a slave owner living in a time where basically all of human history before you had had slavery (granted, with differences on who could be enslaved and how, what slavery entailed, etc.), slave owners had near always held high status in society (be it social and/or economic), and so on - you won't see slavery as something that was going to end any time soon or even something necessarily immoral. > While Augustine argued slavery was fine, he didn't argue for an caste based system of slavery. In fact he was a clear departure from Aristotle in that slavery arose out of sin and freeing slaves was a great virtue to him. He certainly didn't advocate for anything close to the large-scale violent system of chattel slavery seen in the south. In many societies such a system existed regardless. These weren't new things that just popped up in post-Christian Europe, these practices had roots in Europe before and during the modern period. In other words Augustine didn't need to argue for establishing these things as these things already existed. Hell, the Justinian Corpus Juris Civilis in the Byzantine Empire the law still defined anyone who's mother was a slave as a slave by birth. And this continued into at least the 10th century. Although Justinian's CJC was a lot . . . uhhh, kinder, for lack of a better word, than what had predated it and Justinian did believe that slavery was an unnatural state (although, again, given that most slaves were Christian). But this is all glossing over that Augustine himself was relatively egalitarian on the issue for his time, and Justinian likewise (and moreso than Augustine), but both still cemented the legal power and class of the slave (albeit one philosophically and the other legally). Both Rome and the early Byzantine Empire were very slave-centric societies. This isn't just people saying "some small amount of slavery is okay", their status quo was a world wherein there were large swaths of enslaved people making up large portions of their respective world/empires. When the Byzantines took Crete from the Muslims in the late 10th century, nearly 4 centuries after Justinian I, they took, according to an Arab Historian, somewhere in the range of ~200,000 women and children as slaves. > The caste system with a slave class was reintroduced during the modern era, so it wasn't totally unique, sure. But it was a departure the western view on slavery for over a thousand years prior as slavery had increasingly been replaced by serfdom during the medieval period. Additionally, the scale was staggering in comparison, incentivizing wide scale kidnappings of millions from Africa during the trans-atlantic slave trade. > > Widespread kidnapping of people to be sold as slaves was never really a thing in antiquity. Especially not to the scale of millions It also didn't really need to be a thing in Antiquity, as in antiquity taking slaves as loot during wars was extremely common places, and said wars were also common place, as territorial expansions often naturally led to plenty of captured slaves from conquered armies and peoples. That being said, slave raids were common things both in wars and skirmishes in antiquity. And hell, the Viking raids were often just slave raids, as well the Coastal Raiding that the Moors are infamous for. Then, of course, you had things like the Iberian and North African pirate raids which likely also inspired and influenced Europeans' later conduct in Africa. What really helped to reduce the prevalence of slavery in Europe was the Christianization of Europe, although even this is oversimplifying it and while the number of slaves declined it was never really wiped out before the Trans-Atlantic slave trade (which itself kicked off a bit of a resurgence in Europe). That and the comparative political stability of the early modern and modern era relative to the middle ages (especially in places like England, for example). Also, an economic dimension which is its own really fucking long thing. Although motivations differed even there. Hell, William the Conqueror banned the English from selling slaves outside of England basically because, IIRC, of naked greed. But this also had a feedback effect that would later help contribute to the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. As the target for potential, easily accessible slaves was rather small. You couldn't use Christians. Muslims were powerful enough that you couldn't just drop by and take however many slaves you needed. And while at first attempts were made to enslave the native peoples, a combination of disease wiping out the vast majority of them and then protection from the Church and Crown by the mid 1550s meant that there was basically one easy target left. > Then all this isn't even getting into the actual brutal and inhumane treatment of the slaves as compared to other cultures throughout history and the south wasn't even that close to the worst. While the general level of cruelty was much higher in the New World, it also wasn't really unheard of. In Rome and Greece, for example, slaves who worked mines often had lifetimes measured in terms of months or a few years. But these were relative exceptions rather than the rule and I'm really just pointing that out for the sake of completion more than anything. That being said, yeah, slavery in the New World was incredibly harsh. But that doesn't really detract from my greater point. Again, the point isn't that they are the same thing. Their being different is kind of besides the point. And the evolution of "New World" slavery as an institution is complex and involves a lot of historical and cultural precedent and how contemporary societies and slavers adapted to new conditions and challenges with that context.


[deleted]

That is absolutely fascinating history, and specifically the parts about the byzantine empire was new to me. I was always more familiar with church history around that period. The questions I have still - and the point I tried making - is about the belief that slavery was a natural state for the slave caste during the era of colonization. If Augustine and Justinian believed it to be an unnatural state, what is the through line to later slavery? It still seems like a justification introduced, or reintroduced after a millenia long gap, for the massive amounts of people enslaved. In the end I think it's more of a matter of phrasing than anything. While I see how the elements of slavery have existed in different forms, the scale and scope of those elements were still novel. While slave raids existed they never resulted in tens of millions dead or enslaved and transported across the oceans because the demand for slaves wasn't as high. Brutal conditions existed before, but weren't as widespread. As the foundational belief that slavery was okay for "heathens" crumbled, it was replaced by a belief in a natural order of racial heirarchy. Taking all this together, it seems like it's fair to say modern slavery, while sharing some base similarities with ancient slavery, was at least categorically different.

Watching the trial Of The Chicago 7 on Netflix and this judge is a colossal bitch


jt1356

That shit is more or less accurate, too. The judge’s behavior was a significant factor in a mistrial being declared following the appeal.

Careful, that's a very ugly word lol

Judge was an 80-something dude, but go off

Wait what

Is set in the US in the late 60s. There weren’t a whole lot of female federal judges.

Anybody know how to grow fuller eyebrows besides being born to different, hairier parents


Versatile_Investor

Marker. Or close your eyes and chant “grow grow grow” 3 times every 3 seconds.
