Yikes. Psychopaths will psychopath if given a free pass.

@andrewhooper7603 the people that you got fired, were they saying or doing anything that was work related and hurt other people? If not, then, you and I have very different views. I think all kinds of people have views that are absolutely abhorrent, but I would never try to get them fired from their jobs if their views were unrelated. If these people weren't doing anything other than expressing views you disagreed with then I don't see how that's any different than a 1984 I thought crime. You wanted them fired from a factory job. That means you believe they shouldn't have any form of employment at all. Then what? They're forced to go to the streets and become criminals? I'd rather have people have terrible thoughts that they share with their friends as opposed to taking them out of society where they will be forced to take much more drastic measures.

Please elaborate. I'm curious as to exactly what you mean by that. I'm honestly interested. Thanks. @twentyoneoo

100%. Hearing that stuff really worries me. Lots of people think terrible things. Do we thought-crime everyone? And even then, what are those people supposed to do once they are deemed unemployable? @RaptorFromWeegee

I wish there was a way defined out what slave life was like on aggregate. I wonder often if stories like this were the norm or the exception. Let's be honest, the most extreme versions of everything are the ones most likely to be told. I want to know about the good, bad, and the ugly. It seems we mostly hear about the ugly. Since slavery, historically, was just an accepted fact of life all over the world and slaves were taken as a result of conquest, not because one group thought the other group was inferior, I have a hard time believing that every slave owner was an unfeeling psychopath. Some of the founding fathers of America were slave owners themselves, while also advocating for the end to slavery. I'm willing to bet that the experiences of slaves and slave owners was more complicated than we are being led to believe.

What makes you say that? @ConvictedRaypistTrump

Are you basing this on assumptions, or do you have special insight and knowledge into what it was like throughout slavery throughout the world in all different types of situations? @texasd1385

@carelgoodheir692 "carefully avoid pointing out that the racial nature of slavery in the Americas was not the norm in the other slave owning societies " Do you have evidence that slaves elsewhere were treated better? Also, IDGAF what the reasons were, I just want to know what life was like as a slave from a broader perspective.
