It doesn't matter to book-banners whether or not the thing they don't like is portrayed as positive or negative. Just the fact that it's there is enough for them.

Lol, bud... Just Google "slavery in the Bible"

You're in denial.

Slavery has never been acceptable, and I would expect a "holy book" meant to be a model for morality, regardless of when it is written, to at the very least be ambivalent on the topic of owning other humans as property.

Actually, that's too generous. If I were to follow the teachings of a book, it would need to be explicitly anti-slavery. Something that would be particularly important in a time where slavery is "accepted and normal." And really, a super fucking low bar.

We've got 10 commandments. At least 2 of them are about Yahweh being jealous of other gods, and yet none of them are about slavery.

Jesus could have easily said, "don't own people as property," and yet he didn't.

No, he actually specifically outlined rules for owning and punishing your slaves. He (more than, imo) tacitly approves of slavery.

If you want to have this argument, you're gonna lose.

But do you know what it does portray as a good thing? Slavery!

Yeah, the Greenland stuff will seem like a distraction all the way up until the day he announces the invasion.

Don't sleep on that shit, this man does not make jokes.

The librarian at your school 30 years ago probably also taught you about the card catalogue and the Dewey Decimal System.

Have you... never been to a library?

The amazing thing to me is that they can continuously do shit like this, and yet there will always be "normies" (and even some in the comedy industry themselves) whining about how the left is ruining comedy blah blah...

It's just insane the automatic benefit of the doubt that the right gets on every fucking issue.

The reason I had no problem whatsoever editing config files is because I'd been doing it for decades already in Windows with .ini files.

And not needing a terminal is different than not having access to one. Windows has a terminal.

This is exactly how I felt when I switched to Linux and it "clicked".

This is what personal computers were supposed to always be like before Capitalism ruined it for everyone.
