Is that supposed to be your history reference? An article on Medium? There aren't enough LOLz in the world.

Here; it's more nuanced than most assessments, and it isn't the selective reading of a guy whose main purpose in writing was to argue that Trump is an illiterate dumbass who shouldn't impose any tariffs:

HW Brands is an extremely prolific historical biographer. YOU WOULD KNOW THAT IF YOU EVER READ ANY HISTORY

I'm a prolific shitter; that doesn't mean my output is worth consuming. Cardi B records lots of songs, etc, etc. I know who Brands is; he's not the goods.

K. The point in sending that article was to show how tariffs pushed the south towards secession over many years. It didn’t happen all at once. It was a ball rolling down hill picking up momentum. Slavery was like a final “fuck you”.

You probably have shat no more than the average man, which would make you an average, not prolific, shitter.

Lol. Again, what kind of moron can't recognize that he doesn't have enough information for a probability estimate? How much WOULD you say the average man has shat?! You don't even know my age, diet, or weight! Maybe I eat a lot of fiber. Maybe I've just trained for it. More to the point, you're now arguing over whether a man you've never met is a "prolific" shitter, without even having a threshold for the categorization. That's meta AND derivative. Anyways...
