“This day [Feb 24, 1835], the 24th instant, and the day following, at the North Side of the Custom-House [in Charlestone], at 11 o’clock, will be sold, a very valuable GANG OF NEGROES, accustomed to the culture of rice; consisting of SIX HUNDRED.”
To many people today would have us go back.
He was executed in the Deep South in 1944, in the midst of the Jim Crow era.
America and the World are far from perfect but we are better now than in 1944. I hope we can keep improving fast enough.
Thanks for the post! Specially the summary!
People can voice their possibly stupid, and/or ignorant, and/or manipulative opinion, possibly based on false premises. Nobody has to give those people any credit. And nobody owes them a pedestal to voice those opinions.
Also, why does Russia not have loads of troops near the border with Finland?

"Oral treaty", oral international treaty.... now that sounds like a heavily manipulative level of naivety.
Where does it says so? Can you point to that specific section of the text? I've just checked and must have missed it, it wasn't there.
A Rússia invadiu a Ukrania. Invadiu. E ocupou. Com armas. Com morte, assassínios e tortura. Até com rapto de crianças. E com declarações de que a Ukrania, país, cultura e povo, não devem existir.
Tudo isto é injustificável.
Russia invaded Ukraine. Invaded. And occupied. With weapons. With murder and torture. And child abduction. And declarations that Ukraine as country, culture and people, should not exist.
That is unjustifiable.

Parece óbvio que liberdade de expressão e liberdade individual são secundárias para quem escreve no Guilhotina.
Concerteza há vários contextos onde os escritores do Guilhotina acham que se pode, e deve, limitar o alcance das opiniões de algumas pessoas e até limitar a liberdade de outras pessoas. Possivelmente até pelo uso da Guilhotina ou algo mais moderno.
A pergunta que fica então é, porque é que o artigo linkado foi criado?
Putin can say whatever he wants, unchallenged, to justify himself and take the Russian troops out of Ukraine.
