Ask them if they’ve read about Dessalines, and ask their thoughts on them?

Whether it be the Github user who founded Lemmy, with his Anti-American and Marxist Leninist essays,

or

the Haitian general who fought against the French in the Haitian Revolution, and thus had a hand in wiping out many remnants of the white slave-owners… to create the first abolitionist country.

Just ask what they know and what they think of him?

    the Haitian general who fought against the French in the Haitian Revolution, and thus had a hand in genociding many remnants of the white slave-owners… to create the first abolitionist country.

    I’ve had a socdem acquaintance literally imply that forbidding white people from owning property in Haiti was racist, and that it was a good thing the USA occupation (of which they’d had just learned about) changed that because it “recognised people’s human rights.” That might be too hard a test for some of them, considering most probably can’t even find Haiti in a map.
