@itnewsbot This kind of thing is why the Democrats still suck, they’re just not overt Nazis. That law is worthless now.

About 125 years ago, Josephus Daniels ran the News and Observer, the newspaper in Raleigh, North Carolina. Daniels deliberately blew up any story of Black men being around white women, even incidental encounters that neither party expected. He hoped to agitate white racism to destroy the Fusion party’s multiracial voter base by splitting it on racial lines.#WilmingtonsLie@bookstodon @histodons

@bookstodon @histodons White and black people voting the same way for common economic interests would have wrecked the Democrats, which Daniels knew. This was back when the Democrats were the Klan party.Other than technology improving to make things faster, there’s little difference between Daniels trying to get people killed and the fascists now using scare tactics and mass communication to get people killed. Just now it’s Twitter and not the newspaper.#WilmingtonsLie

@bookstodon @histodons On top of that, when Alexander Manly, a Black newspaper editor, published an op/ed talking about the rampant unpunished rape of Black women by white men his paper barely survived the white outrage afterwards.Plus a white woman named Rebecca Felton was allowed to give speeches in public calling for the mass lynching of Black men to scare them away from being near white women - she also wanted white women to be able to vote. 1890s Phyllis Schlafly?

@histodons @bookstodon “Let virtue be something more than an excuse for them to intimidate and torture a helpless people. Tell your men that it is no worse for a black man to be intimate with a white woman, than for a white man to be intimate with a colored woman. You set yourselves down as a lot of carping hypocrites in that you cry aloud for the virtue of your women while you seek to destroy the morality of ours.”- Alexander Manly, August 1898.#WilmingtonsLie

@elliswyatt @histodons @bookstodon White male impunity was the goal. They could do whatever they wanted, everybody else had strict rules.

@bookstodon @elliswyatt @histodons That’s as may be, but whites weren’t murdered for doing it.

@bookstodon @elliswyatt @histodons That’s as may be, but whites weren’t murdered for doing it. Plus when they did it they were almost never charged with or convicted of rape or other actual crimes.

@lowqualityfacts I really enjoy how a bunch of corporate vampires just made up credit scores in my lifetime and now they’re critical to your existence in this shitty country.

@anneapplebaum Did anyone other than clueless libs ever believe that he wanted an off-ramp, or did they all just read the New York Times and decide that was reality?

@anneapplebaum @edgeoforeverYeah, and tankies never believed he wanted an off-ramp because they wanted him to conquer all of Ukraine and then the rest of the former USSR.

So in Confederation America (1780s) there was the Anarchiad, a satiric epic poem that for the most part is tedious because I’m not into that kind of literature.However, there are chunks of it motivated by extremely Confederation problems, like fighting over whether or not paper money should be accepted and/or states should be able to issue their own.@histodons @bookstodon #history#1780s https://quod.lib.umich.edu/a/amverse/BAD5699.0001.001?rgn=main;view=fulltext

@histodons @bookstodon Also there’s also some stuff about states not wanting to accept each other’s funbux and calling each other thieves, plus doing trade war shit to each other. On top of the existing history this helps highlight the extent to which the Confederation was a terrible idea. On the one hand nobody likes a tyrant, on the other hand you can’t run a country like this unless you want nonstop chaos and internecine violence.#history#Anarchiad#1780s

@histodons @bookstodon It’s also significant that the racist traitors in the 1860s tried to do something like the Confederation (hence Confederacy) and immediately ran into a bunch of the same problems, like not being able to effectively fight a war against a more centralized enemy while also not having coherent national policy because your ideology demands decentralization.They learned nothing, which tracks.#history#Anarchiad#1780s

@itnewsbot Buy your favorite movies unless they’re extremely common - I have copies of two ‘90s classics you can’t get on streaming.
