Slave Lies
Half Truths are Not Whole Truths
Umair, Let's go back to Rome. Read Gibbon or, if you can't, read the Durants.
Rome fell heavily because the slave population, admittedly almost entirely white, was freed over the generations, and the intermarried freed slaves went for dictators, starting with Julius Caesar, for perceived safety ... until the Persians conquered them and sacked Rome.
The remnant of Rome’s government is the Catholic Church.
These are not my opinions but the Durants and Gibbon who had more facts on their side than you do.
Rome forgot how to make concrete in the process.
I grew up in Atlanta and was 17 with my American History teacher in his apartment, next to the VA Hospital, in Decatur, the evening MLK was assassinated. And the three of us there had tears in our eyes. King was a great guy but to call him an economist was to miss what he really did. More like Gandhi before him.

This has nothing to do with slaves, but the people who are not slaves who believe Trump, or are not able to see what he is actually doing. They believe his lies. Like good vassals.
Your paper as usual is a rich source for cases that could be brought to the Internet Court of Lies just as Trump is a rich source of cases. Evidenciary proof is always useful even if the actual truth may always escape us. That said, your lies, mostly half truths, like Trump, are a good study in how to lie and fool people, or keep their interest. A half truth is most often not the whole truth or not, “nothing but the truth.” See Mendaciology in..
The caveat is that these are fiat lies that are so frequent and dense it is difficult to count them. But the Internet Court of Lies is set up to let lots of people do that efficiently if they want. And ..
