BLM Protests: Slavery Reparations Part 6

Arguably the most stupid argument that has come out of the BLM protests is the argument for reparations. Not only did Britain pay its reparations as taxpayers in Britain had been paying for the end of slavery between 1833 to 2014, but the argument in of itself is ludicrous, it's opening a can of worms.

If seeking slavery reparations, where does it end and if pulling down statues because you deem it offensive, then you cannot leave out some whilst going after others. The SNP seem to think they can go after our history by pulling down slave trader statues in Scotland, as I have argued to show the hypocrisy, Robert Burns whom the nation rightly admires once managed a slave plantation in the West Indies.

As always, socialists dive two feet into everything without thinking things through first. If you pull down those statues, where do you draw the line? The Roman Colosseum has bloodier history than all those slave traders put together, slaves were made to fight to the death for entertainment in the Roman Colosseum, the Colosseum itself was built by slaves as well as countless other things you seen across the Roman Empire. On top of that, the Romans pillaged nations around them like Ancient Egypt.

One could even argue that the pyramids were even built by slaves and when speaking about slavery reparations it really is the most stupid argument someone could ever have come up with. Anyone who knows history knows it is never ending. Does it mean Scotland should seek reparations from all our invaders throughout history such as the Romans and Vikings? What about reparations for all the other countries who fought bloody wars and lost many lives?

The truth is, history isn't black and white and not everything in history paints the perfect picture. History is there to learn from so that we can learn from our past, those who seek to erase and ignore the past deem to repeat history and history has a terrible habit of repeating itself.

As I've pointed out before, the real agenda behind Black Lives Matter is blatantly obvious, the riots breaking into private businesses stealing goods and pulling down statues was never about an attack on slavery, but their agenda to destroy the system to usher in Marxism. Whilst it is true to state that they are clueless in how they go about such things, this was clearly the real agenda behind defunding the police in the United States.

Rather humorous that they seek reparations for slavery, yet support the very Marxism that has never once in recorded history ever avoided totalitarianism which was the very essence of slavery. In fact, even this plays into the argument where one could question if we should seek reparations for the reign of terror these socialist regimes caused having killed and terrorised millions of people's lives as it wreaked havoc on the planet.
