Society tends to repeat on approximately 80-100 year cycles.
American society. And it's been closely shown to hold since when America attacked Canada, of all places.
Other countries have their own cycles. Consider the 11-year Canada goose purge cycle that affects your friends to the north. It's not spoken of but, like seal clubbing, a periodic culling is required to prevent them invading and burning the Library of Parliament and goosey sanchez-ing the last copy of the Declaration upon Dependence. It's a little backward up there.
Spy magazine ran a great cartoon back in the early '90s which I can't find anywhere online. It was captioned "Clarence Thomas greets the day" and it showed him bending down on his front porch to pick up the newspaper with a negro stable boy lawn statue next to him.
we’vr had sleeper cells of nazis and bootlickers on “both” sides of the aisles for a century or so because they’re all actually aged capitalists. When capitalists feel like their quality of life and profit is threatened, by labor or technology, they will work toward two things:
Moving the overton window in small steps as they test the waters and then implementing actual fascism in the waters where their tests succeeded.
Notice the areas with martial law are not really big on public ownership of guns or understanding of castle doctrine? That’s on purpose.
We never had a true democracy and that fact is coming around to bite us and everyone else in the ass again. We don't have Christian denominations anymore, we have sports teams. We don't have politics, we wage culture war. God damn bless america... I fucking hate it here
No, it has not. If anything, we're repeating the 30s. The war at the end is not inevitable. And we better avoid it, cause it might be the last one humanity sees if it happens.
Wait. There are still people who doubt this timeline's consistently proven penchant for exponential fuckery? Are they one of those no-contact tribes? (Although, I've always wondered if those tribes were as much isolationist as "nah, fuck all of your world -we're good.")
It's called a "gratuity" now instead of a bribe. I guess the SCOTUS was feeling left out watching the other two branches make money hand over fist and decided to legalize it.
Edit: apparently the difference is getting paid after, instead of before, whatever "service" is provided.
Blindly following precedent without reason, maybe...but applying the law without any form of consistency isn't helpful either. Rulings need to be fair, across the board. They can't wildly swing from one precedent to another, depending on the individual whims of whichever judge is currently deciding a case.
That's exactly what's happening now, with the current Supreme Court...and look at how that's going.
That's why I responded the way I did to the guy that said, "Stare Decisis is for suckers".
The current Supreme Court is not adhering to precedent. Without that adherence, no decision is final. Every established law can simply be reinterpreted again and again, without any consistency.
I wasn’t suggesting it, that phrase is an older conservative trope from legal blog from 20 years ago that is clearly motivating the current Supreme Court. (The current strict scrutiny podcast references it too in a clearly sarcastic tone as well)
Yeah, feels a bit too late for that. This isn't going to stop until the non-fascist Americans drag them out into the streets and dispense justice. People are going to die and the good guys are going to need to organise a whole lot first.
Sometimes, I don't even know why the state option is popular in Puerto Rico. It definitely is; they've had two official but non-binding referendum on this in the recent past, and the statehood option was a clear winner. Won by good margins over both maintaining current status or going independent.
Ultimately, I think it should be up to the people of PR to decide what they want to do, but geeze, this isn't a great time to join the Union.
They made a huge mistake with POTUS the first time by not sending their children to felate him when he showed up to throw paper towels after hurricane Maria.
The only way for Puerto Rico to become a state is if they all turned Republican and white.
For real, casting this off a a lil oopsie is doing way more harm than realizing these people want you dead for nothing more than knowing that they're full of shit.
Racial profiling is considered illegal in the United States as it violates the 14th Amendment's equal protection clause, which guarantees all individuals protection from discrimination based on race or ethnicity.
Also, if there is no suspicion of a crime, it is illegal to detain someone. Otherwise that's kidnapping.
