Yet another reason why Commiefornia and South Africa are shitholes. Come to think of it, did the hate crimes against gays increase since that law-change?

South Africa is not a shit-hole, we just have some shitty people.

Only if/when the system collapses and forces it. Society is fundamentally changed thanks to technology to go traditionalist. We'd need a dark age before we'd see a traditionalist situation. Uncle Ted was right.
But they could infect a lot of gullible young liberal Polish women with HIV, as Polish African anti-racism advocate Simon Mol previously did:
Simon Mol - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
He pressured his female sexual partners not to make him wear a condom because by pressuring him to wear a condom, they would be engaging in racist stereotypes of Africans being all HIV-ridden and/or AIDS-ridden. Turned out that this stereotype was actually correct in his own case, though!
He could belive,that there is possibiity of passing HIV on woman and curing himself its way.
Stupid,i knew - but in some african countries,as Mali,children are still sacrifized by wealthy people who belive,that it gave them luck in bussines or politics.
Some people there really belive that they coud gave Hiv to other person and save himself that way.
Well,My polish ancestrors once belived,that illnes could be redirected to dog,do not ask me how,i dunno.It was long ago,but such thinking still exist in Africa.
Ironic considering that HIV can be treated nowadays with proper medication. Not cured, mind you, but still treated relatively well.
Yeah, there are even people who purposely seek HIV from their sexual partners; they're known as bugchasers:

Bugchasers really do know how to play Darwin's Game!

Here's an incredibly hot take.
Pre-20th century societies and cultures participating in a trade that was deemed acceptable and normal for as long as we've had writing, if not earlier, does not make them evil. Granted, it isn't acceptable today, but the 21st century is a very small slice of history indeed.

Not quite, old traditions cannot be recovered due to technology making them counterproductive all over the place. The thing is that there's absolutely nothing preventing new traditions.
The "Dark Ages" had little in common with pre-Roman life, enormous swaths of the traditions that held to modernity were specifically failed attempts at preserving what was still beneficial of Roman practices.

Hotter take: when slavery was first invented, it was a morally superior choice to the alternative.
The alternative was genocide.

Dying of lung cancer is NOT better than years of cigarette abuse, nor is liver failure better than a lifetime of alcoholic mischief. These mass murdering systems are the outcome of such a moral decay, as the Prophets' teachings morally decayed into monarchies such as the empires of the Spain and Aztec, the Caliphate, and pre-captivity Israel; and Liberalism morally decayed into communist dictatorships like Nazi Germany, Zimbabwe, and modern Canada.

True to an extent. But since evil system will always end up with mass murder, it is far better for it to show its true colors sooner (e.g. nazism) than later (e.g. liberalism, progressivism). That is what I meant.

my controversial take: If European powers and those of European descent would spend half as much time building up their military and economy as they do worshiping their ancestors and lamenting times gone by, they might actually be relevant again.

"Bug chasing" is not a US specific thing.
Yep. The Bug desire is everywhere, unfortunately.
Frankly, having them breed more--and in a non-dysgenic manner to boot--would be much more important.
Especially,that slaves in those times usually become second - class members of tribe which member buyed them,not die in mines or galleys,like in Rome,or was forever condemned to be slaves,like in USA.
Eh, it's going to shit with how it's run. I got a good friend who knew to get outta there despite loving South Africa and fighting against apartheid, and was talking about how the ANC wasn't working, along with the Boilersuit commies.

My mistake.Still,roman slaves have far less chances to become romans then slaves in some rtibe members of such tribe.

My understaning of slavery in the ancient world:
- you agreed to it in exchange for a whole bunch of up front money and a salary
- you're a POW who chose slavery instead of execution
- your parents sold you into slavery
Or something like that and you could own property and buy your freedom.
That's not how slavery in the US worked. It was illegal for an American slave to own property and/or be literate. Their children were also automatically slaves from the day they were born with no way of ever becoming free except by running away or having a kind master who decided to free them.

Insane thing is, as I understand it that would either be frowned on in Roman society or outright illegal under Roman law. Just goes to show how far off the rails the Southern States had gone.
