It's a measure of how good a job Leon is making that Black is looking like a passable FH at this level.

Are you saying the West with its free(ish) market systems haven't driven technological progress? That's a pretty extraordinary claim to make. FFS. No. I am saying that it cannot be stated that they are the primary driver and, further, that progress would not have been made (on some equivalent measu...

So you telling me that they have not made any technological advances? Who? What? Ask a question that makes sense. Read it slower... but ill dumb it down for you. You said "capitalism and democracy cannot be be credited with creating technological advances" which is wrong.. No. It's. Not. How. Is. T...

You don’t even recognise the political and economic situation that created something like the renaissance..... You’re an idiot. You believe the City States were capitalistic democracies? GTFOH. At best, they might be seen as early blueprints for capitalism. Accidentally (because it was incidental) ...

Again, because this has been said n times, the relative disparity of wealth is probably even greater. You should pop over to India with me sometime. :lol: , India has a f ucking space program.

Capitalism and democracy post WW2 have changed human lives beyond the imagination of a French revolutionary. The absolute poverty of existence in China for example has only changed with an embrace of the market. Again, because this has been said n times, the relative disparity of wealth is probably...

I continue to expose your intellectual snobbery and absolute failure on actual facts. I don’t care about looking a “sage” that’s your internal demand ticking away. I will keep on laughing at your attempts to pass opinion as fact particularly your opinion which is shite. As pointed out even the base...

The poor overthrew feudalism? When was that? I assume the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution and the Chinese Communist Revolution (for starters) had been torn from your history books at school? Did you study with JMK? Hmm.

Yay, the poor did brilliantly in China when they over threw feudalism. :lol: You continue to expose your ignorance on all matters economic and political, despite your try hard attempts to look a sage on the subjects in any thread they arise.

Look at the stats on police shootings over the last 30 years, although some are a bit hard to come by. New York for example has seen a massive reduction; something like 90%. I'm not sure how one can say nothing has changed. Maybe the media has changed and used to give white people being shot and ki...

nothing changed after Rodney King, and thats almost 30 years ago. I dont see too much changing once the adrenaline rush of this movement dies down (no pun intended). I expect this will be the focal point for the next great race lead protests in 2041. Correct. There was an elderly lady with a placar...

This is true, my mom always voted for the DA and its forebearers but wasn't exactly protesting outside the parliament building for change.

Genuine question: Does anyone here feel guilt due to their skin colour? There are South African's on this bored, so depending on age some of them should at the very least. That’s a fair answer if they were also supportive of the then regime. Even if they were not, by simple stats, significant numbe...

Do you mean personal guilt or guilt on behalf of someone of different colour or projected guilt on behalf of the (alleged) behaviour of someone of the same colour?

Hey, if the history is accurate, I'm all for it. Whitewashing history, not so good. You keep saying this sh*t like it's soooooo black and white (Yeah. I know.)

What assertion did I make in that post? I asked a question about the value of statues. It's pretty clear we're talking about public statues put up in honour of named individuals, and particularly those who were responsible for a lot of pain, misery, and death, which the glorification neatly overloo...

Torquemada 1420

What do you lose by losing the statue exactly? "Denying a historical monument" is a bit vague. What concrete benefits are there to a statue that outweigh the negatives of glorifying someone who was responsible for a huge amount of death and misery? You tried the Cromwell angle 2 pages ago, I dunno ...
