ThreadbaneSocial Darwinism in action. Leaning toward the macabre, perhaps Death itself will cost the Republicans enough support that the US can begin to behave like a civilized country again, and again allow the gov't to "promote the general Welfare".
12 Freya it/its๐ญ๐น๐ ๐ฉ@Threadbane @juddlegum that implies the US was ever a functional country instead of an illegitimate, violent, militaristic and corrupt empire-wanna-be that destroys all it touches and should never have existed in the first place...

Well, all countries were barbaric by today's standards in the 18th Century. Obviously, US history is worse than most when one adds in the Native American genocide and slavery, but I was referring more to a return to improving Constitutional gov't and fulfilling the Utopian aims of the Preamble. We were at least making progress to becoming a decent country until Reagan pulled the rug out from under us.

@Threadbane @juddlegum .............. no. There were no such Utopian aims, at least, not unless you were a cishet white dude, the US is built on, will always be built on, and has always been built on oppression, violence, slavery, murder, and war. It is literally a war state. We hope to the goddess Inanna that the US ceased to exist quite bloody soon. The way it's going it quite might.

There are no gods. As for the violence, slavery, murder, et hoc genus omne, it is unclear to me that primitive ideas like those of Xianity and Islam are better than organized secular society as laid out by the Constitution. Your complaint seems to be against Europe and Western Civilization itself, although Attila the Hun was no slouch.

@Threadbane the fact you use "western civilisation" as a term is pretty... pretty sus. If you're saying our complaint is against white people, holy shit, yes our complaint is against white people! have you seen the dumb shit they do in the name of empire and colonisation! What in the name of Inanna made them think that was, like, at all a good idea- oh yeah, racism. Horrible fucking racism that is still not dead!
