Let’s not forget it was always deserved. Americas first war was against Muslims who refused to stop kidnapping and enslaving westerners, literally saying “but muh Quran says it’s ok for us to do it 😢”
ElectroMagnetsYo@reddit
The war with the barbary states wasn’t to stop the slave raids it was to stop the piracy of American merchant vessels. The US has only given a shit about money since the start
JustChillin3456@reddit
Were Americans not on those American merchant vessels ?
Also America has saved more foreign lives (mostly black and brown) than any other nation in history
_Dead_Memes_@reddit
Any nation that didn’t participate in the slave trade has already saved more black and brown lives than America lmaoo
JustChillin3456@reddit
Name the nation that never practiced slavery 🤭
_Dead_Memes_@reddit
Places practiced slavery without really participating in global slave trades
JustChillin3456@reddit
The ONLY reason why they didn’t partake in the global slave trade
Is because they lacked the ability to do so
_Dead_Memes_@reddit
No, it was because there was no market for it
JustChillin3456@reddit
“We will partake in slavery but not global slavery that’s too far”
Fascinating , the way a Redditors mind works
_Dead_Memes_@reddit
No, I’m not making a moral claim about individuals not partaking in the slave trade, thus that meant there was no market for it in some places. I’m saying that there was structurally no viable market for global slave trafficking in some places, especially with how some places did not practice mass chattel slavery due to how their societies were organized, and thus those places really had no effect on Black ppl positively nor negatively.

So how is contributing literally nothing to humanity even remotely comparable to the USA saving 40 million+ African lives ?
SpottedWobbegong@reddit
When did the US save 40 million+ lives?
JustChillin3456@reddit
Through all our aid for the past decades combating feminine and diseases like malaria
Google it
HugelyMoist@reddit
We fed alot of black and brown families by purchasing their slaves.
MonkeManWPG@reddit
The triangular trade and the European slave industry transformed the practice of slavery in Africa and massively increased demand. Most of "their slaves" wouldn't have been enslaved had European colonial powers not created a demand for slaves to exploit in the colonies.
PHATTGUS@reddit
The president who ordered the war enslaved his own children
JustChillin3456@reddit
Womp womp
demonotreme@reddit
It does rather suggest that curtailing slavery was not exactly the prime directive, no?
JustChillin3456@reddit
One single man does not define the country
More Americans died ending slavery than in any other war
demonotreme@reddit
The President of the United States absolutely defines the country.
You may think that's a good or bad thing at the moment...
JustChillin3456@reddit
lol so if a country has 50 Presidents some support slavery, the rest don’t , which one is the true symbol of America ?
I think you don’t really understand this county
demonotreme@reddit
It's almost as though people 300 years apart had quite different political and social opinions? Weird
JustChillin3456@reddit
Exactly my point
Jackelrush@reddit
Be muslims fuck with the west for centuries slowing encroaching from Iberia/Sicily/Balkans

Arab Golden Age ended there, but there were still the Ottomans and Mughals. Also Indonesia kind of is the largest Muslim nation.

Something something racist european yids vs actually semitic 'arabs' or American christianity vs european catholicism. If memes are the dna of the soul, religious expansion is information eugenics.

Tribal Najd culture???
I'm the person who wrote that even arab??
Other regions of Arabia also had attire and conservative customs, such as the face veil (it predated Islam and Arab culture, too)
Najdi culture isn’t extremist or fundamentalist. It was itself diverse and vibrant like the rest of Arabia. Stop conflating religious extremism with people’s actual heratige

Saudi Arabia openly admitted they were told to promote Wahhabism by the CIA. They did what they were told to do.
SadSceneryBoi@reddit
If we treated Saudi Arabia the way we treated Iran the world would be such a better place
