| | | Big problem = racial reparations. The Barbary and Islamic slave sellers/buyers/captive takers should send terabucks to English descendants for all the slaves taken. And Maoris should pay big heaps to English for killing and eating Captain Cook in Hawaii. And killing and eating swarms around Aotearoa-Zimbabwe. And Germans, French, Ukrainians and Spanish and many others should pay Jewish descendants for pogroms, theft and genocide. Japan should pay bigly to me, China and China/Mongolia pay Bigly for Genghis mass marauding across Asia to Europe for mass murder. Africans should pay each other with megaloot for eternal killing. And let's reinstate Versailles reparations. Don't forget Cortez and the genocidal invasion South of the border = poor little Aztecs and Incas. Islamic jihad mass killed and enslaved hordes from the Atlantic to Philippines, into China, up into Russia, Europe and down into Africa. And on and on we go.
Mad stuff.
George Floyd should have been executed for his first armed robbery. He shouldn't be a lever for reparations because police bungled his drugged out arrest. It was not murder.
Life everywhere was Malthusian, tribal, genocidal, alpha male, conquering, harsh, brutish and short for most people.
The great and glorious British Empire including USA brought fantastic civilisation and prosperity to umpty billion and continues to do so.
USA and rest of world bought megatons from China and supplied the technology and know how for a billion Made in China people to escape paddy fields, famine and hutongs.
Appreciation, not reparation. Maybe even worship, which is what I feel for swarms of people like Irwin Jacobs, Einstein, Steve Jobs, Newton, Fourier, Alan Turing, me, Magna Carta, USA constitution, Rutherford, Donald Trump, Jay Chen, Bill Milan, my father, his father, William Winn, Julia Green, Thomas Rossiter, Charlotte Bisset, Captain Bongard, Bill Kirk, my mother, and swarming millions who created the fantastic world we now inhabit. None hassled Africans, let alone enslaved them.
The great and glorious British Empire ended slavery, though USA was slow on the uptake. Maoris were still killing and eating when slavery ended in USA. Negroes are still killing in USA and voting to enslave productive people.
Meanwhile nuclear war beckons. Recommendation = avoid future problems. Don't try to recompense people who died 200 years ago. Their descendants can get a job.
