Well, if we’re talking about ideal spending of tax dollars, this isn’t acceptable either. Any way we split it, the government will not spend our money the way we see fit, so it’s still a valid argument to me.
So, American here. My family immigrated from Germany, Poland, England, and Italy (the nationalities of my four grandparents). My family never owned slaves, never owned farmland, never profited from any of that. Why should my tax dollars go towards paying reparations for something my family had no part in?
That’s the part that I struggle with. Should the families who directly profited off of slavery pay reparations? Perhaps. Should the families and individuals who had nothing to do with slavery? Absolutely not.

Now, I’m not saying one party is better than the other. Just that they’re all morally questionable, at best.

An underrated episode
Artemis is one that’s in development and using the new beta API on the Artemis.Camp server. It’s great so far, I’m replying to your comment with it.
Avelon is a great app. It’s my go to for Lemmy.
Proton VPN is rather pricey if you use their ad blocker, I thought about giving it a go but the price turns me off.
Do you have a high quality version of this? I’d love to make it a wallpaper if you’re willing to share.
And they have rolled tacos back…Baja blast and rolled tacos, the best combination
