Ah, in that case you agree that _every_ American slaveowner in the South was a bad, immoral, evil person, right? Same goes for all Germans in WWII.
- yters 7y agoYes...does any sane person today think slave owners and nazis were on the correct side of morality?
- moate 7y agoMinor nit pick: All slaveowners = people who owned slaves = bad ("complicated" at best) All Germans during WWII =/= Nazis. There's plenty of great WWII era Germans who didn't support that Nazis and helped take them down. But yea, fuck Nazis.
- kjeetgill 7y agoNot that I think this is an interesting point to argue (and I'm not sure exactly what you're getting at) but yea every slave owner was bad because we're categorizing them based on the bad act: owning slaves. Not every German was a soldier let a lone a Nazi during WWII. I think there's an Axiom of Choice joke in there somewhere.
- oarabbus_ 7y agoEvery person who buys an iPhone or wears Nikes is immoral and a bad person to a degree, as these products are essentially built upon slave labor.
- yters 7y ago> these products are essentially built upon slave labor. Citation needed. AFAIK, the labor is entirely voluntary and reimbursed. Wages are much lower, but so is cost of living.
