For the record, just in case it wasn't blatantly obvious: I am AGAINST slavery

He's not wrong. Look at the amendment that banned alcohol. It was repealed through another amendment.

The Constitution is meant to be updated and changed with modern times. What he's meaning to say is that despite Republicans (who don't even understand the fucking document) believing the Constitution is set in stone, it's actually meant to be changed regularly.

I mean, he's right though? The point of the Constitution (and amending it) is to be able to change it so we can improve how we are governed. It's not inviolate and sacrosanct, it's supposed to be living.

This poster has some gross fascist vibes going.

Also slavery is on the table. It just has to be as punishment for a crime.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

It's not even that anymore.

I'm personally a slave. I have the choice between working or ending up homeless and starving. If I can't work I'm told to go fuck myself and die.

The only difference today is I don't get whipped.

No like...it's literally in the Constitution.

Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

How long was slavery still around after the Constitution was ratified?

Oh that's right 77 years.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

But like, the current active in-use fully amended constitution.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Where in the Constitution does it say wage slavery is illegal?

I'm not physically forced to work but if I stop making money for even a short period of time I'm at risk of losing everything. The modern age of America is wage slavery where we're forced to work ridiculous hours just to be able to afford to barely survive. If that's not modern slavery idk wtf is

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

How about being imprisoned for a bullshit crime where you can be forced to work without pay as outlined in the 13th amendment?

I’m not saying your life is peachy, just making the point that slavery as it existed 150 years ago hasn’t fully gone away.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 10 months ago

Yes I'm essentially a house slave. I don't get beat because that would look bad. I just get the threat of starvation or imprisonment.

Fuck me this user just loves posting his boomer memes on here, can we ban him already?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If Biden brought back slavery, he'd win every Republican voter to his side

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

We get it, you're a smoothbrain.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

Huh, seems to be one critter posting all this red pill shit. Thankfully, individual users can be blocked in Voyager/WefWef.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I'm betting this makes OP get all tingly in his special no no place.

Edit: For the record, just in case it wasn't blatantly obvious: I am not a crook!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Typical Conservative retard doesn't even know the definition of amendment.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Slavery was never off the table. It just has extra steps now. Ya' may want to actually read the documents prior to commenting upon them.
