Look at the user account, and then look at their post history where they complain trans people are going too far etc.

It was known earlier among Russians as the Northern Sea, Pomorsky Sea or Murman Sea ("Norse Sea");

So the sea is historically Norse, and as know russia is big on respecting historical owners, thus that this sea belongs to the Norsemen.

We do still believe in those solutions?

The left is not relative, nor has the meaning shifted in all this time.

The left is the same communists and anarchists it has been for over a hundred years world wide now.

Political party popularity does not change political ideological meaning.

And the American system doesn’t encourage duopoly, it literally enforces it. So yes, of course many leftists are going to feel disenfranchised after close to a century of being villainised and neglected by their “representatives”. The solution to that is for a party to adopt leftist ideals, but that goes against the interests of the ruling class who’s money and influence runs the game.

Mate the bloody link you posted showed that the British had a very clear problem in trying to stop it.

No. The left has a very clear political meaning, it does not simply mean “Whats less to the right”.

When leftists talk about leftist policies as solutions to issues, we dont mean “oh right wing policies but just not super right”.

Left —————| Middle |—A——B— Right

Tell me, what side of that spectrum do you think A is?

It also doesnt mean you blame the police for not stationing a guy on a chair in every household for not doing enough to stop it.

The Royal Navy’s patrol was never going to stop that trade, there were never going to be enough ships. The whole Royal Navy would have found it difficult to stop this trade.

As that article points out there were countless issues in trying to stop the trade, such as the legal challenges and burden of proof across multiple countries jurisdictions, the lack of willingness from other European powers, and the fact that the worlds largest navy couldnt stop it even if they dedicated every resource towards doing so.

The US could have done more, sure, but no matter how much they did, you would still have had the trade happening and these ships would still have sunk, and you would still being saying “it’s because they didn’t do anything” instead of accepting the reality that there was no easy solution to stopping the slave trade.

And the port authorities and traders will see someone literate sitting on a chair on the dock, all day, everyday, writing in their book and watching the ships, and this will arouse zero suspicions from the criminal slave traders and who ever else “runs” the docks?

It does mean you fight them effectively, theres a reason this isn't even done today with our far superior methods and that is because its wildly impractical.

And these ports openly engaging in illegal trade would just let the US station soldiers there to track everything?

Why doesn't the US Navy station someone in every port in China where fentanyl is shipped from and have them make rounds every 30 minutes with a notepad to log every ship they see docked, they must want the drug to keep being sold in America!

Cmon its not that simple or realistic, and all it takes is one or two corrupt people to lie about what they saw and the whole thing is useless.
