Hate to be that guy, but given that she clearly instructs and directs John (as seen in the second film), she's leading the leader, thus making her the true leader the whole time

but if "technobabble" is the reason the shields don't apply for teleporters, we can just have technobabble for why star trek shields don't work against the death star's lasers
assuming i did, declaring war just so you can capture whites to sell as slaves seems kind of oppress-y to me
given that the point of contention here is whether or not it was ultimately because they were white or because they were non-muslim, i'm not sure what point you're trying to make by re-classifying piracy as an act of war?
Capitalize Black.
i didn't use any capital letters in my response, including on "muslim" which you'd capitalize for the same reasons you're arguing to capitalize "black"
also, your linked source says to capitalize "white", which you've done at no point so far
And "Yes." on both counts.
i feel like we've hit bedrock then
i'm not sure how to convince you that pirate raids that went all the way to iceland just to avoid "muslims" probably wouldn't raid a settlement consisting of black non-muslims
You can't change race by reciting The Shahada.
i feel like you're intentionally missing my point here
And irrespective anything you have said white people have never been oppressed for being white
you restating a thing doesn't make that thing true though...?
not really sure there's much point in going on further with this since it seems like we have pretty different reads on the topic at hand that aren't going to be brought into alignment through further discussion
if the DoD needed cutting edge chips but had to purchase them from within the US, all that would happen is their technology would be worse for the next decade(s) until US production could catch up
given the current us procurement strategy of keeping at least a generation or so ahead of its next near-peer, i really doubt that would fly
But either you'd be strategically weakening the country to give invading forces an easier time, at which point you're throwing civilians into the meat grinder anyway, or you're starving the country until it devolves into literal anarchy, because the only people in the position to surrender were entrenched enough that they'd be the last one to see their power structure fall apart.
