@Geri @Remittancegirl @GeofCox I don't follow your logic, and I literally do logic for a living. You're telling me that you don't believe that the profits from genocidally robbing the biggest Empire ever provided unprecedented, widespread leisure to Britons?
@Remittancegirl @GeofCox @jonesmurphy yes, they provided leisure time but .....
But you can have all the time in the world but it means little if you are not near good quality coking coal, iron ore and water
Australia has this
China too
Moreover, with the advent of the industrial revolution slavery became unimportant and Britian was the first to abolish it
I do not need to geriplain this to you xx

@Geri @Remittancegirl @GeofCox if you have a massive Empire, you can steal resources galore. That's exactly what happened.

@Geri @Remittancegirl @GeofCox Europeans didn't just steal resources. They stole a LOT of ideas and inventions. They literally stole and enslaved brilliant inventors.

@Remittancegirl @GeofCox @jonesmurphy does the mind rule the body or does the body rule the mind?
Is racism an atavistic trait, wrapped in promotion of one's genes and fear of another's that since the Stone Age man has never escaped from ?
Are we homo inferior ?

@Remittancegirl @GeofCox @jonesmurphy @Geri
"Being racist"/"not being racist" is not a binary variable.
"Not being racist" is a _process_ - one where we continually reexamine our behaviors and assumptions.
That requires work. How many political leaders in the Western World have done this work?

@Remittancegirl @GeofCox @jonesmurphy nope, coking coal was removed from North East (County Durham and Northumberland) and Cumbria (West Cumbria).

@Remittancegirl @GeofCox @jonesmurphy nope Bessemer patented over 192 different inventions. He had a unique and original mind who could think of different ideas including such things as a means to stop motion sickness on ships xx

@Geri @Remittancegirl @GeofCox millions with unique and original minds were killed by the British and the European Diaspora simply for being caught reading and writing:

@Geri @Remittancegirl @GeofCox initially, sure. Then, as you point out, Indigenous Australians were slaughtered by Brits and their coal is still being mined by the descendants of the genocidal settlers. It's been similar all over the world wherever the Europeans attacked.

@juergen_hubert @Remittancegirl @GeofCox @Geri how many VOTERS have done this work.

Not enough. Not _nearly_ enough.
