Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

“Conscientiously believing that the proper condition of the negro is slavery, or a complete subjection to the white man, and entertaining the belief that the day is not distant when the old Union will be restored with slavery nationally declared to be the proper condition of all of African descent, and in view of the future harmony and progress of all the States of America, I have been induced to issue this address, so that there may be no misunderstanding in the future”

A humorous story about a guy who got carried away shooting Nazis in the Wolf 2 game: It Happened To Me: I Kept My Redbox Game For Way Too Long
I bought Super Mario Odyssey the day prior and couldn’t rationalize shelling out for Wolfenstein 2. Then I remembered Redbox. I might have passed on the game altogether if not for the convenience of being able to rent it 15 feet away from a $5 bag of frozen ravioli. I wasn’t leaving the house late on a Saturday night just to go get another new game, I was going to procure food for my loved one and me. I can be a high-quality person.
And it worked! Dinner was delicious. Killing Nazis was glorious. For that weekend everything felt right. Then Monday came and I still hadn’t finished the game. Shooting Nazis is also hard, it turns out. I’d already paid for three days though, and figured I might as well pay for one more. Who would I be if I bid adieu to W.J. Blazkowicz before the war was won? And then one more day became two days, three days, until eventually I had kept the game for a week.
In the beginning I felt guilty but I came up with ways to rationalize the delays. It’s an important game and one that deserves to be finished. 3$ a day is just another cup of coffee. Whatever the new charge was, it still wasn’t as bad as another $60. And so the days kept going by.
...Later that night I actually saw the damage. “Got it! Here’s your final receipt!” the email read.
I’d spent $50.88, just a few dollars shy of what the game now costs used at GameStop. First I was angry. Why didn’t I just keep the game? Then I was disappointed. Why had I waited so long? Finally, I was just ashamed. No one must ever know!
Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire. ― Gustav Mahler
