So? What does that have to do with anything I was saying? Due to their better ports with rivers that stretched farther into the country, magic money machines in New York, and very importantly receiving oodles of tax money from states with the economic boon of stolen labour, the Northern states generally did not need to rely on human trafficking for internal revenue the same way Southern states needed to (again, if they did not want to fall into economic subservience, WHICH WAS THE WHOLE REASON WHY THEY REVOLTED IN THE FIRST PLACE). Of course, human trafficking was legal in most of the country, and people all across the country actively engaged with it as well as passively benefitted from it, and people all across the country tried to fight against it.
But one region needed the economic might human trafficking provides, while the other region could muddle along without it, especially if they were able to make the other region economically subservient to them... And of course this is made even easier when you coincidentally decide to change a hundred years of policy and start foreign adventurism, knocking over South American countries for so fruit companies can have record profits.
I was trying to be careful to not put moral consideration onto one region over the other, and very intentionally didn't say "The North" when I said "more freedom-minded folks", because those folks were found all over the country, sometimes even people who were actively owning humans as objects - humans are complicated. All of the country was complicit in human trafficking, but one side was more economically beholden to it, and this weak spot allowed the other side to put them over a barrel and have their way with them, as I alluded to.
But they aren't the same medically? Did you mean morally or spiritually or experientially? Those could all be true, but it is inaccurate to call them medically the same.
Leeches were supposed to suck the poison/disease/foul humours out. They were supposed to heal through removal. Vaccines are supposed to introduce caged enemies for your immune system to train on. They are supposed to heal through addition. Medically different apparati coming from different schools of thought.
An interesting interpretation! Of course, the reason why the Bill of Rights isn't in the Constitution is because it never would have been ratified if it was. But it never would have been ratified either if the more freedom-minded folks hadn't been sufficiently assured that a Bill of Rights would come next, promise.
It was a real sticky wicket because there were those who were very much trying to use the Constitution's framing for their own political ends, and they saw an opportunity to end a long-standing practice they saw as evil: human trafficking. Any universal guarantee of rights would have to be secondary, because it would take multiple years more to hammer out wordings (and just a lot of time spent sweet-talking and assuring the South) that wouldn't free the victims of human trafficking, thus robbing half of the country of their industrial might, and making them economically subservient to the other half.
You and I interpret the original posts differently, then. I firmly see it as a call to action and organize. There were some military players involved of course, but what was true in 2017 is no longer true.
It's surprising how many communist talking points I see again over here, while also seeing usernames like CommiesGetTheRope
"For the banks are made of marble / With a guard at every door / And the vaults are filled with silver / That the farmer sweated for"
This was the liberals, not the leftists. Leftists are against cars in general and for public transportation, herd shuttles, etc. They believe global warming cannot be halted while still allowing for free-spending capitalist expression, and that liberal ideas like electric car and solar panel mandates are band-aid solutions that allow the problem to get worse, but enough people are coddled into thinking they're helping that nothing gets done. See: ratchet effect
Martial law = end of America as a top world power. And the Military-Industrial Complex that still runs this country knows this. It's not gonna happen, mate. The military was completely sewn up by privatized interests decades ago. Internal consistency of laws is not a high priority to these people, not nearly as high as maintaining America's presence abroad. They will not risk further destabilizing the bottom of the house of cards that is 21st century American Empire.
The same people who brought you mandatory Anthrax vaccines and the Forever Wars are not going to save you
That's not actually true though - plenty of things happen in open and direct violation of Article VI every day, and nothing happens. There is no mechanism to enforce the Constitution agreeing with itself, especially under martial law.
It will be even more interesting when it's the 6-year Delta!
I mean, this is nothing new, and nothing made specifically illegal. Yellow journalism was beaten/transformed into a new mode via market pressures, not legal ones.
And I wouldn't be so happy every time "TREASON" trends, because the conversation only seems one-sided if your algorithm is trained on one-sided. Trump is increasingly vulnerable to a treason charge. There is movement happening, but its direction is not fixed. Keep your head on a swivel.
I truly don't understand the appeal of racism. "Terrorists" is more accurate and takes one less syllable. Why the joy in being inaccurate?
The article writers probably know that and are just trying to whip up clicks from places like here by making outrageous claims to benefit off that second-hand hopium
You literally compared a group of people to Martians. You literally de-humanized them. I'm sorry my accurate labelling of your actions offends you?
This post title isn't a call for violence, is it?
The UN didn't dump Thunberg, as said in the article body (other way around). When a headline has to contradict the body to get clicks, it throws the entire thing into question.
Wow, so if you're a lady, you're either ugly or a slut. Cool, article
I love that half the things listed in the first panel are classic leftist talking points from the 2000s. I remember when bringing up banking bubbles, media monopolies, and the active surveillance of the entire American public got you called an anti-patriot communist who probably wants George W Bush's beautiful war to fail.
Fortunately, they only ate the furry ol' lobsters, better known to us today as otters. Canadians had to wait for impoverished Americans to invent the practice of eating "modern" lobsters - the bottomfeeders with all the claws and pinchers.
Uh, no? No one lives on Mars. If anyone lived on Mars it was well before humans were ever a thing, and they probably weren't complex creatures.
What a strange, illogical, and deeply dehumanizing thing for you to say!
It would be lower case if that were the case. Allies with an upper case has a specific meaning in a political-military context. It's just a completely normal holiday greeting from a higher-up mostly working off a template. It's a non-story either way, and means basically nothing.
It's literally just a teenage boy's sketchpad that never grew up. Not a big deal. Gross and not my thing at all, but hardly surprising
How did your county vote? This time, I mean
Or it's an unintended consequence of putting so much energy into the Invasion of Iraq and now for 20 years multiple generations of young people have seen thousands of fellow youths die for oil companies and Dick Cheney's PMC friends, all while never finding the promised and obviously false reason for the invasion in the first place... And yet the ongoing loss continues.
Um, no. They will just say they were pulling a Lincoln and navigating within the Constitution to temporarily suspend rights during a national emergency. And they have the normie-appealing ammo of "Well, I never said to terminate the Constitution, but he did!"
