I Don’t know why so called conservative people are so passionate defenders of freedom, when they say slavery was ok.

Also note that “conservative” had a far different meaning during Jim Crow than it does today.

In the spirit of magnanimous compromise; I’d be willing to consider letting people who think they are a bad idea opt themselves out of the 13th and 14th amendments. It’s a generous offer, guys.

slavery had upsides
So do death, war, massive natural disasters, and a bunch of other obviously horrible things. The fact that anyone thinks (pretends?) those upsides could possibly make them anywhere near net good, or even worth noting outside very specific circumstances, is just baffling to me.

well, of course, the main answer to that is they are white supremacists. one needs only to look at the racial makeup of the party to see that
the secondary answer is that if they keep forcing society to fight the battles of yesterday, it’s that much harder to address any of systemic issues of today
it’s hard for society to walk forward when the party of wealthy cis straight white men keeps dragging society back

I think slavery is always bad and there are no upsides should be good enough.

What if the enslaved people were white? Would slavery yet have a bright side?

Not according to them… it’s only a benefit for “those people”…

Same as welfare “destroys Black families” but is absolutely required for the super-rich and megacorporations.
