From the Wikipedia article on the Haitian Revolution. Whites are being genocided in the State of New York, per previous posts discussing racial triage policies. Is this a valid enforcement action Whites like Payton Gendron may take to abolish it?

@dave will not denounce the Haitian “Revolution” (White extermination) and therefore can’t ever complain about White racial violence.

Slaves killing their masters to secure their freedom is 100% A-OK with me, I suspect the reason it isn’t for you is because the ones doing the killing usually were black.

Same thing for the American Revolution, which I assume you don’t put in air quotes, vs. the Haitian Revolution for which you did. I’m getting the sense that, even if subconsciously, you see black people as less deserving of civil rights and human dignity than white people.

So, you do agree, that if a group of people are without my consent taking away money I gained through hard work using a threat of imprisonment or even death, I have a right to kill them?

Is that correct?

I do not see taxation and slavery as morally equivalent, no

@dave @NEETzsche
Oh really? What is the difference?
And I want a real difference, not a semantic one.

Taxes are frustrating because they are (often) spent inefficiently. But the money is (ostensibly) being spent to make the general public’s lives better, which includes you. By contrast, slavery is an individual forcing you as an individual to work to advance his interests, without you being provided a wage, or having personal freedom. One is a lot more unjust than the other.

This is a semantical difference.
Slave master used the money he collected to build houses, food and medicine to his slaves too.

Slaves had exactly as much freedom as the master allowed. And now, if some prime minister gets butthurt, you loose your bank account from day to day. You have no freedom a politician doesn't sign first.

Politicians also can choose how much money goes to their own interest as opposed to their slaves.

So, my question remains tha same. Is there a non-semantical difference?

You keep on using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

@dave @NEETzsche
I am pretty sure I did use it correctly, but who knows.

Either way, if you want, I will re-phrase the question.

Is there any difference, that could be characterized by a significant change in the concepts themselves, instead of just the same concepts being used under a different name?
