The fact that companies are allowed the freedom to push this propaganda at children is why I hold my position.

The government, in theory, has as much power as the people gives it.

I know, for a fact, that many people would be angry if the government banned propagations of gun culture

However, even in a pluralistic society, I don't think, for a second, that anyone defends what's shown in this video.

A lot would be angry if you banned that too. But what matters is any normal person is disgusted just like you and i. How do we keep society normal? Community values

I don't know if that's enough, is all I'm saying. My generation, at such a young age, doesn't really care for traditional values.

I actually share your concern. I dont know if its enough, but from my perspective its all i got

Most people are too apathetic as well, most boycotts fail miserably because no one commits anymore.

Democracy is the worst form of government, except for every other form of government <:trumpmoji:624684793036275730>

Democracy meaning republic ofc

The constitution can be suspended using a national emergency iirc

patriot act lets the government ignore citizenship if deemed a terrorist

lmao

"rights"

We have rights because we aren't a threat

Not do be all doomer on you, but that's the current state of the government

They own the laws and the means of enforcing them through courts

Selectively

But hopefully we change it after the second term

We did a lot to fight their courts already in the first term

Actually the reason we have rights is precisely BECAUSE we are a threat. Try to take them away, you have a problem. If they disarm us, different story.

FBI raids you if you are a threat

and the court gag orders you

They also ruled the US govt. can ignore constitutional rights during wartime when they imprisoned Japanese-Americans in WW2.

That case is overturned btw. Koramatsu

They'll just put you on a FBI suspected terrorist list instead

Well i guess when enough fuckery is afoot, the people act out, Zephfyre. Like by electing Trump

That is true

There is a natural breaking point for Americans imo

Like Pearl Harbor

Like 9/11

Like 1776

I give Americans the benefit of the doubt because 1776 was an INCREDIBLY long time in the making

relatively

Trump was also overdue, but here we are

Think about it this way, if we didn't have Obama, we wouldn't think about having Trump

It would've been Romney (secret Obama) types

Oof.

In an ironic way, Obama was one of the best things because it caused Trump

I dont claim to know how it would be

But its possible
