Well I did say maybe and my position has moved more to it just being traditionalism that I was talking about
cheese
If not for originally acknowledging that ideologies will inevitably try to use the State to legislate morality, everything would be FAR worse
Remember: the 'diversity' which Europe is now struggling with is a mere fraction of the 'diversity' the US has ALWAYS had to deal with
yet, i'd say the US has fewer issues with the State destroying civil liberties
we can't get arrested for tweeting
The Founding fathers where woke on the ethical state for sure
not perfect mind you, but at least they saw the danger
I don't think they could have created something too much better
me neither; hindsight is 20/20
A lot of dangers are coming from things that you just couldn't have imagined ie social media which offers massive protentional for political mobilisation
Whereas before you'd have to physically organise people
and no matter how good the playbook, still comes down to the willness and ability of the people running the plays
Time as well
Give anyone enough time and they'll figure out how to subvert anything
Nanometre by nanometre if they have to
The one thing your ancestors were dead wrong about was freeing the slaves
truth; life isn't as simple as a rule book
lol
newsflash: UK freed FAR more slaves than the US
Slavery is a bane upon a society since it devaluates the labour of the working class and it should have been ended
our biggest mistake was allowing Lincoln
But freeing them and letting them remain in 'murica was a major mistake, one you're still paying the price for
he subverted the power of the States and forced the South to stay with the UNION
Slaves should have either been executed or exported back to the shithole they came from
if the South is allowed to secede, you don't have the racial issues
sure; and you pay for this how?
lincoln was right, its what came after it that was the problem, if america wasnt willing to accept the blacks then it should have returned them, peacefully.
Bullets are cheap, MA
nah, Lincoln didn't care
And they're slaves, you can make them build their own boats or something
he didn't goto war for slaves; he did so to satisfy his pride
he did it to save the union
The moral aspect of the civil war was just the justification really
Lincoln exiled two of his own senators for disagreeing with him
locked up 3000+ civilians that dare speak out against the war without trial or release
suspended Habias Corpus
Lincoln was the OG libtard
and destroying the rights of the States to hold power over their own affairs
The federalisation of the US is and has been a problem for a while now
the South wasn't worth the trouble
