> The article talks about European colonies, so would these have been European values then since America did not yet exist?
Slavery is an expression of capitalist values.
Frederick Douglass is Karl Marx's ideological predecessor.
You aren't wrong that the European powers were slavers. That being said, the culture of the 13 American colonies is the first appearance of the unique Euro-American culture that dominates the United States.
It's wrongheaded to deny the central importance of slavery to American culture and values.
In the United States, the land of the small business owner, slaves mixed socially and sexually with their captors and with the culture of their captors.
For this reason, the culture of the United States is deeply affected by the institution of slavery in ways that are alien to the European powers.
Agreed, there's not a lot of substance here. I read the article more than once and still don't know if "overarming" means too many individuals own guns or too many guns per individual. I assume the former based on context. Also interesting is that they focus on the US but two out of three groups studied are not in the US.
I put a word game together, it was a fun exercise. Nobody plays it except my wife and her family. It's really not even finished or even that good. Since it's one of the few things she likes that I made, it's still up with a user base of 3.
The point of the game is to find as many words as possible with the least number of swaps and leftover letters. There's always a solution that takes no swaps and uses all letters.
