Euros have the most insane take on slavery. They imagine that the whole world is just like them, cold climate, low birth rate, comprehensive social safety, law abiding... The idea that people are born en masse in abject poverty and live most their lives like starving animals is just not possible. Slavery is a social innovation that provides people like that some measure of social capital, because the alternative is to just kill them. All the niggers in America wouldn't even exist if not for slavery. They would have been killed, some raped, a small number eaten, by their fellow Africans.

Chattel slavery was always considered horrific by every culture. Even fucking Spain thought the American South was barbaric and threw Columbus in jail for his slave trade activity.
Slavery through most of human history was indentured servitude with a contract and legal/social protections. Chattel slavery was the most savage and monstrous form it had ever taken.

It being legal makes it morally acceptable?
Alright, so when are you sending your kid to drag queen story hour?

it is, but arthur should have gone on a "I LOVE DA CONCEPT OF FREEDOM YEEEUUUPP THAT COS IMMA COWBOY OUTLAW WHO HATES ALL FORMS OF AUTHORITARIANISM" tirade instead of "erm, owning slaves is heckin EVIL, chud. now let me kill you so I can gain honor points"

Legality does not indicate what is morally correct

For example, abortion is illegal in many states now, but that doesn't mean your mom shouldn't aborted your faggot ass and saved us from your stupidity
>>
>>741856217
I think slavery was always seen as bad by every culture. Unless you were one of the slavers and made a profit off of it, then it was okay. The average Joe often didn’t like it but accepted it as a fact of life though.

Chattel means slave you stupid nigger. Is no different than any other type of slavery expect your coon asses got whipped for not working

>>741863554
Everyone always knew on some level that forcing another human into being your slave was wrong. There is no culture where being a slave was something people aspired to.

Saying slavery “built america” is an excuse to erase white history and usher in gay race communism. America wouldn’t be a super power at all if it weren’t for all the contributions of white settlers fighting wars and expanding and skilled craftsman and factory workers dying and building everything you see around you.

Both Abolitionists and the civil rights movements years later often cited the Bible as evidence to back up their cause. You can’t be Christian and be pro-slavery without being a massive hypocrite.

Shame. A good handful of them are at least bangable. Why oh why did we ever have to let them out of the household?
>>
>>741847063
>how dare you engage in a business practice that was legal within both of our lifetimes
One, you live in a society where usury in the ancient sense is not only legal, but encouraged. Where it's customary to owe over twice of what you've borrowed on large loans. Where the most vile practices of old have been normalized and brought under the protection of law.
Two, legality of an action has nothing to do with its morality. This is the basis of the noble outlaw character archetype.
>>
>>741847063
There are lots of things that are legal but I would still find you absolutely disgusting if you did them
But yeah RDR2's writing sucks
>>
>>741867775
They are outlaws. Why would they have the mindset of the rest of the people?

It's funny because slavery still exists today. But none of these bleeding heart leftist faggots know or care about it because it's no longer wyppo doing it

It's like abortion.
It happened, people knew it was horrifically evil, but they didn't care because they benefited from it.

Isn't it a binary choice? Burn his journal or give it back?
>>
>>741864370
Vast majority of America's growth happened after the civil war. Just because the clothes that the great men who made America were made of cotton doesn't mean the machinery that picked it played a role.
>>
>>741853697
>durr he did a couple good things so he's a moral faggot
Arthur was consistently a dickhead for the majority of the game though. The Strauss missions have you beating poor people for pennies, and he didnt care about how cruel he's been until he got TB.
>>
>>741874412
Weird, because abortion is now seen as good now and it’s actually transgressive to say that you’re anti-abortion unless you’re part of a religious community.

Progressive morality is bizarre and inconsistent.
>>
>>741874481
Literally yes. That's what being legal means.
>>
>>741864760
Letting an outlaw character do all that goody-goody shit is still a problem. Like, if you want to sell who a character is, you don't give them those kinds of choices.
>>
>>741874854
It's legal for Jews to control the government so therefore you shouldn't be mad about it
>>
>>741874954
“Outlaw with a heart of gold” is an ancient trope.

Even then, you can play Arthur as a low honour dick if you want.
>>
>>741847063
I mean people having their tempers flared at the topic isn't the issue.
it's that the game will try to penalize you with negative honor for the dumbest shit, but will let you burn people alive with a pat on the back if they're a racist in the wild west.
it just feels extremely lazy.

Legality isn't morality.

>>741874034
The guy just wanted his stuff back. They make you feel bad for him, he's old and homeless and broken. Then they think they got you. Oh he was a slave catcher. No he didn't own slaves, but he returned them to their owners. He's morally evil, forever. Nothing can absolve him of his crimes. Now burn all of his things in front of him and execute him like a dog, goy! He's evil! Unlike Arthur who never did anything morally gray in his life...
