It’s my personal belief that we should also prohibit products made using slavery from being sold in the #US.
Not because we can do it, but because we need to do it.

Hate speech is unconstitutional.
Don’t believe me?
The ninth amendment of the #US constitution states that rights for one shall not be used to attack or dismantle rights for others. Ideally, that means “freedom of speech” cannot be used to argue for the removal of rights for gay people.

Antisemitism is very much on the rise in social media, yet all I have seen entities like ADF do is further justify the assault on Gaza.
Either they are incompetent at their claimed mission of defending jews, or that was never their intention.
Either way, they don’t deserve your money.

Capitalism is reliant on the consumer having choice between separate competitors, and the means (i.e income) to make that choice.
If either of those things are missing, the capitalism in practice is doomed to fail.
“True capitalism” NEEDS high wages, anti-trust law, in order to exist

The dissolving/abandonment of copyright law is a common sign of growing fascism and/or autocracy.
Wish more people knew that, especially in an age where people forget its purpose.

A thing I don’t see mentioned nearly enough is how ICE makes illegal immigration/migrants committing crimes worse.
Why would they “come the right way” or comply with enforcement in the first place if it’s the same end result regardless?

A comment I saw somewhere else, but I find it really interesting how the “that is not happening” crowd and the “Im glad this is happening” crowd never seem to fight with each other.

A strange thing Ive noticed about certain people is that they are antisemetic, yet pro-israel.
Why is that?

A thing Ive observed about the people who still somehow support someone like #Trump is how much their beliefs rely on self above all. Thats something A LOT of the anti-maga arguments seem to miss.
Their debate doesn’t work because if something is happening to someone else, maga does not care.

So a funny thing about the constitution is it solves pretty much every problem we currently have.
When people actually want it to.
