RE: Funds are Safu! #Monero. Oops! Nothing is Safu.

I was not aligned with either side of any conflict I know much about. I have always encountered people that seek to control me in some way to profit themselves, and I seek to avoid such control whenever I encounter it. Because of my understanding of human sovereignty I cannot support slavery, and neither would I support forcibly incorporating sovereign states into a union (slavery on a national scale), so I cannot say I supported either side in the Civil war. The Civil war was fought between two sides over what scale slavery was applied, and I submit slavery is unjust at every scale.

I agree with you!
By the way, I believe that slavery will never go away because it is so old that it is mentioned in the Bible. I think American capitalism is indentured slavery!

Even in the USA where it is unlawful to infringe on the right of the people to keep and bear arms, there are intolerable restrictions on firearms, and I do not find any polity blameless of tyrannical oppression of it's people.

I think that America is so vast that Americans cannot get help from the police, so it makes sense for them to arm themselves!
The United States was created because Americans armed themselves and fought against wild beasts, criminals, and enemies.
The reason Americans won the Revolutionary War was because Americans were free to own guns.
But, Steve always advised me to use careful English sentences with Americans.
Maybe he was worried that I would get shot for using rude and barbaric English.😂

Thos. Jefferson said "The polity of the Indians is that which I admire most, because there is the least of it." I agree with him, and find that polity that most agrees with me is that I myself impose, and none other will.

I felt that Thomas Jefferson's argument was excellent!
However, I remember the history that the Indian society was destroyed by the white people who came from Europe!
East Asians think that the US Indian political, economic, and social systems were too weak to prevent the invasion and conquest of the white people!

Dear my respeted senior @valued-customer !
I respect your wonderful thoughts and life. However, East Asians' thoughts seem to be a little different from yours!😄

I hope your health and long life!

This seems to be factually correct, however it also seems to neglect that ~99% of native Americans died in the century after the Fifteenth Century explorers from Europe first made contact with the peoples of the American continents, and before the Sixteenth Century efforts to colonize them began. Were the native peoples 100x more powerful when the colonists arrived, I am confident things would have been much different, and the horrific pandemics that utterly destroyed the cultures and peoples of the Americas were what caused them to be too weak to prevent the invasion and conquest they subsequently suffered.
