Why all the Rail Road hate?

:shrug: They just decided to hate them for whatever reason? Really should have put a j/k at the end.

I like how very very close that is to the arguments made during the civil rights movement. Courts even, said that although they were extremely similar, they were just different enough for whatever reason, and ruled that they were simply property, and had no rights that others had. Look up Dred Scott if you are curious.

Your history is really messed up if you think Dred Scott was contemporary to the Civil Rights Movement.

I am not American, like most of the world, so might be a bit sketchy with the details, but the arguments were similar enough from what I can tell, and that was my point, not that the case and the civil rights movement were linked or anything. What I quoted, ie synths are not real people. Is extremely similar to arguments used before, ie. negros did not posess personhood.



Just wanted to point out a similarity in what they were saying.

If you don't know the details, maybe you should look them up before putting forth your argument?

I hate them because they oppose The Institute.



Nothing personal. They just need to be eliminated. :shrug:

It was not an argument, it was an observation. Simply standing up and making grand claims of what is and isn't really a person without giving any evidence and you risk looking just as bigoted, racist and hatefilled as the people claiming negros weren't really people in order to justify their enslavement. In my eyes at least. I will drop this point now because you seem to have missed it and I have no desire to go into any more details about RL events like that and risk the topic getting locked or something.
