Typical to focus on supply side & ignore demand. Who sold the children of slaves into slavery? @1Queen718 @viciousbabushka @ChuckCJohnson

Apparently conservatives don’t believe in the transitive property of theft. If I steal something, like say a bicycle or a human being’s freedom, and then sell it, the person who purchases from me is totally absolved of all wrongdoing in the transaction, they now own it legally free and clear. They’re then free to take whatever it is I sold them, again whether inanimate object or a person with wants and dreams, and ride them all day long totally free from worry.

If it’s a human being they bought, they’re free to breed them like cattle too, and to keep or sell their offspring, in perpetuity, because liberty and freedom. There is no such statist crime as receiving stolen goods or perpetuating slavery in conservative land, that’s just like normal market forces at play or something.
