I figured thatβs why you objected to the term, but I donβt think it does black people much good to write off a sophisticated political decision as an atavistic outpouring of emotions. Given the racists in question traffic primarily in images of blacks as atavisticly violent.

Now youβre just agreeing with me that it was preemptive. But thatβs my point, bumping off a minority because youβre worried they might help a foreign invader is like the prototypical motive for genocide.

They were not fighting. The war was over, the slave-owners had already fled! The people Jacques killed had already broken off their allegiance to France. He killed them preemptively because he thought they could be spies, and he wanted a homogeneous country to maintain stability.

It was a top-down policy meticulously implemented by Jacques against primarily petit-blanc yeoman, as part of a greater policy of regime consolidation. It is exactly what Lemkin was talking about. Jesus Christ, at least read the fucking James book before you get on your high horse.

The only answer I can come up with is that he was running against women both times, and a certain kind of manchild just associates all women with disciplinarian mothers and by extension, hawkishness.

Itβs actually worse than that because if you look deeper in the numbers, half of those deaths are from people mishandling UXO or mines.

The US getting a pope reminds of Discworld, where the Dwarves almost had a civil war because the Dwarves from the most populous Dwarven city voted for a human-friendly candidate.
It was contentious because the most populous Dwarven City was actually a human city with a large immigrant population.

New York Times headline: Stop Freaking Out. Trumpβs Tariffs Can Still Work. By none other than Oren Cass
Oren Cass in his mini bio underneath his byline is described as a βchief economistβ despite the fact he has literally no training in economics.
You could staple a Harvard JD to a rabid badger and the New York Times would carefully transcribe every hiss and yowl it made and pass it off as policy expertise.
