The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep’s throat, for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as a liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act as the destroyer of liberty, especially as the sheep was a black one. Plainly the sheep and the wolf are not agreed upon a definition of the word liberty.
“Black sheep” I took to be in the sense of, you can throw a bunch of criticism at the person you’re oppressing and make it clear they’re an outlier from humanity and make it more palatable that you’re doing that and change the subject.
“You shouldn’t be killing Gazan children on an industrial scale” “But they’re monsters, look at how terrible was Hamas’s attack on our music festival!” Things like that.
Soulism is a school of anarchist thought which argues that reality, the laws of physics, and the limitations of our bodies are unjust heirarchies which must be abolished.
I’m biased towards paragraphs.
Otherwise, good point: understanding the other side is a good way to somehow being able to work together.

That Lincone guy who said it was a famous dude for being smart and shit. Could be hype eh?
“I looked at something Lincoln said, and it didn’t right away make sense to me. Clearly, then, this Lincoln guy needs to get on my level.”
So I looked it up…

I think I am done chatting with this person after mistakenly embarking in good faith. You spotted the evangelical kookiness quicker than I did.
He probably was drawing the analogy with the landowners exploiting black people.
And black sheep are rejected by the flock apparently.

TBH I didn’t understand your soulism comment or how it is connected with your original comment.
I was really just supporting your original comment.
