I wouldn't blame private prisons on the 13th Amendment despite its due process clause.

2018-09-30 22:16:54 UTC  

Maybe amend the 13th?

He was doing so well.

2018-09-30 22:17:01 UTC  

Amendement 13: Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been convicted, shall exist within the united states, or any place subject to their jurisdiction

2018-09-30 22:17:06 UTC  

or replace the 13th?

2018-09-30 22:17:11 UTC  

Candace Owens, doxxing website aside, makes salient points.

2018-09-30 22:17:13 UTC  

wasn't private prisons shittyness related to nixon

2018-09-30 22:17:20 UTC  

(Seriously fuck Owens as a debater.)

2018-09-30 22:17:23 UTC  

Nah this is a typical leftist view

2018-09-30 22:17:26 UTC  

someone remind me how those shitholes got started

2018-09-30 22:17:35 UTC  

they think that the 13th amendment legalizes prison slavery

2018-09-30 22:17:48 UTC  

in a sense it does

2018-09-30 22:18:03 UTC  

It does.

2018-09-30 22:18:05 UTC  

I mean, rather, it does not abolish it.

2018-09-30 22:18:15 UTC  

IE promotes it and is therefore not an end to slavery, its just changing who can/cant own slaves

2018-09-30 22:18:26 UTC  

More or less.

2018-09-30 22:18:39 UTC  

The 13th amendment is the state saying they have a monopoly on slavery.

2018-09-30 22:18:42 UTC  

just like reality check, is anybody still seriously in favor of our fucked up prison system?

2018-09-30 22:18:44 UTC  

I'm enjoying the 50/50 split between "that dumbass" and "he kind of has a point"

2018-09-30 22:19:03 UTC  

Hes a dumbass and has no point

2018-09-30 22:19:08 UTC  

The 13th Amendment is just making an exception for penal labor.

2018-09-30 22:19:18 UTC  

repealing this would only re-legalize slavery across the board

2018-09-30 22:19:26 UTC  

I think maybe he's just taking a page out of Donald Trump's book: say something salient in a way which sounds almost too outrageous for your reputation to bear... then enjoy the free news coverage.

2018-09-30 22:19:37 UTC  

Pretty much

2018-09-30 22:19:41 UTC  

He corrected his statement to amend

2018-09-30 22:19:49 UTC  

Well, it's not like it would be legal to take new slaves though, in the U.S.

2018-09-30 22:19:57 UTC  

Minimum wage laws, for example, would apply.

2018-09-30 22:20:20 UTC  

You'd have to get people to uhh....

2018-09-30 22:20:21 UTC  

I would support penal labor even more if it funded restitution for the victims of the crime.

2018-09-30 22:20:29 UTC  

If minimum wage paid the bills. lol

2018-09-30 22:20:34 UTC  

Yeah I don't think there really is any legal way to create new slaves, nor to import them into the U.S. at this point.

2018-09-30 22:20:40 UTC  

I heard a while ago that they (the system? the gov?) can borrow money against a cetain % of people going to jail doing cheap labour.

2018-09-30 22:20:44 UTC  

The 13th amendment is actually redundant now.

2018-09-30 22:21:14 UTC  

It's probably the only amendment we don't need. Slavery is too unpopular.

2018-09-30 22:21:16 UTC  

Nowadays we have human trafficking problems that the authors of the 13th Amendment didn't even imagine.

2018-09-30 22:21:40 UTC  

Yeah, but it is usually completely unlawful to start trafficking somebody.

2018-09-30 22:21:46 UTC  

We need an amendment for prostitution.

2018-09-30 22:22:02 UTC  

You'd need some state willing to sell condemned people to americans for cold hard cash.

2018-09-30 22:22:09 UTC  

Libya?
