The thing to be careful of: this will be a crisis. What are the odds that the totalitarians in the government don't take advantage to give themselves more power?

Yep, activist pro bono work, funded by the OSF.

Politicians always act metonymously. It's not their person acting, it's their office. Sometimes, the politician is even in charge of his office.

I tried making one of these but it ended up being a picture of my wallet.

Government requires that it be run by saints. Always. And the trouble is, it's always run by humans instead. Saints know enough not to get involved.

Jefferson and Madison both agreed that the Constitution was a voluntary arrangement among the states. Like any voluntary arrangement, if one party is dissatisfied, it has the right to end that arrangement. If there aren't any terms in the contract for how it needs to end, a unilateral declaration of withdrawal immediately ceases all future obligations on both sides, and then the two parties go their separate ways in peace.

Lincoln reacted to the South seceding with a war of conquest. That killed the last vestiges of the "voluntary arrangement," leaving the Constitution as an unenforced and unenforceable set of aspirations at best.

And of course, that's if the Constitution was of any authority to begin with.

Thing is, that idea of a contract between the people and their government was destroyed a hundred years before the "social studies" movement. It's been a tyranny wearing a mask of liberty since 1861.

He did enslave quite a lot of northerners to force them to go conquer the South for him, though.

Nothing. They didn't die to end slavery, they died to turn the union into a tyranny.

And those CdA residents didn't really need to change much, they just put the holsters outside the waistband that day instead of inside.

No, the fact that the universe behaves in a consistent manner, and people are able to form a relationship with the unmoved mover, proves the existence of God. That "consistent behavior of the universe" thing also demonstrates flat earth to be retarded.

If you need a physical demonstration of a questionably-literal passage from the first book of Moses in order to believe in God, your faith is weak to the point of breaking.

That's what I was going to tell you as advice for your sailing journey to the edge of the world.

I literally built a telescope and looked, I went sailing, I went up in a single-prop plane with my dad and looked. I also studied physics to the point where I could see how it formed a coherent, but incomplete whole, into which the modern astrophysical model fits without any strange or unlikely assumptions.

As to how flat-earth psyops benefit the people engaging in them, and the people funding them: the people promulgating them make nice salaries off of their followers, as well as getting problems taken care of by their handlers. The people funding them get to use obviously inane discussions to discredit "conspiracy theorists" (a term made up by the CIA to describe people who accurately saw that JFK was assassinated by the CIA).

Every time you use a GPS, you rely on the understanding of the workings of the universe that also demonstrates that the earth is a spheroid. Flat Earth stuff is a literal psyop.

Remember that there is a difference between a useful tool and a trustworthy leader. Rowling was a Vanguardist for a previous leftward movement, she's just decided not to join the current push. Use her. Don't trust her.

I wish she had been this based. We're gonna do better in '24 on that front.

Oh man, how did Zimbabwe manage to get taken over by the next Hitler? The CIA must do something to stop this!
