I wasn't born with enough middle fingers; I don't need to choose a side

@ChrisCoons Social Security is an evil institution designed to keep poor people from ever being able to accumulate generational wealth through their labor.

When you die, the government steals all your gains and gives them to someone else's family.

@tonyannett Solidarity with your filth disgusts me.

[Pocket Aces @PocketHoosier]

@jimiuorio Absolutely not. Boomers saying "[you] chose this system" are referring to their dead grandparents' generation.

The living are under no real obligation to keep their promises

[Pocket Aces @PocketHoosier]

@DeTocqueville14 @AdventureNLearn Nah. This is how government sees themselves breaking the government's laws. They have to because if they didn't, everyone would die

@Noahpinion America knows this is exactly why "Team Blue" pretends to care about immigrants

[Pocket Aces @PocketHoosier]

@elonmusk There never was any need to concern with the birth rate. It only matters now because of boondoggle social entanglement programs that require a growing population for their schemes to function

@TRHLofficial There is no law at an Article V Convention. If someone pushes Communism during a Convention, you kill them

[Pocket Aces @PocketHoosier]

@TMSallis @oldhand_35 @PerBylund AI does that too.

@RobertH10101 @MechanicsGuide @Arizona_LP Incorrect. I put system, only citizens are sovereign. You're obviously referring to something else with the arrangement of those words, but "all men are created equal" applies to all men in the government as well

@GodIsVoluntary Now...if that person with "LOTS" of fireworks is an engineer, I want to see what he had planned.

Stupid people are supposed to have less freedom

[Pocket Aces @PocketHoosier]

@GodIsVoluntary In principle, I'm torn.
If you're setting of "some" rockets or "some" mortars, the foreseeable risk is private and local. But if you're in a populated area, you've got *LOTS* of explosives and -say- a 115 IQ, I kind of want you to have to have someone else set them off for you

@emptymuppet @MechanicsGuide @Arizona_LP I doubt it. The freeing of the slaves was the only silver lining of the 1861-1865 American War.

Libertarianism deeply depends on the natural law and slavery is the primary offense of natural law. One could say claiming ownership of another person is the root of all crimes.

[Pocket Aces @PocketHoosier]

@RobertH10101 @MechanicsGuide @Arizona_LP This isn't correct. The Union was always a confederation. (A confederation in 18th century verbiage is specifically a voluntary federation)

Texas just made the terms explicit. The implicit nature of everyone else's doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

But the USA will shoot you

[Pocket Aces @PocketHoosier]

@MechanicsGuide @Arizona_LP It was inevitable.

It is the nature of states themselves.
The United States waged its first war of conquest against the Confederate States of America and the world was never the same again.

Certainly, good things came out of the result; but so many bad things came with them.

@Arizona_LP As a thirteenth generation Heritage American I say confidently that the world needs one less United State and ten thousand more Singapores.

@vhs0 @LP_CLC I am not a subject of the US government in any sense of this word "subject" as a noun.

I *subject* (verb) myself to the authority of the US as a contingency of my citizenship. This is precisely how the 14A worked for Reconstruction and how it is always intended to work.

[Pocket Aces @PocketHoosier]

@JackHates1Amend @LP_CLC The traditional concept of American citizenship is neither jus soli nor jus sanguinis.

It's a unique concept that was bolstered by the realities of the time.

then:"why would anyone *WANT* to come here unless they're exactly the kind of person we're needing to build a nation!?"

[Pocket Aces @PocketHoosier]

@JackHates1Amend @LP_CLC Yes; that specific verbiage was changed to "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" in 14A because it is a Reconstruction Amendment.

The USA was absolutely NOT going to refer to the CSA as a "foreign power" when detailing the path for Confederates to return to good standing

@PerBylund Doubting is smart money.
These models are cool, but they're not AI. We have megalomaniacal narcissistic personalities battling each other for being recognized as TheOne who discovered AI, so they're playing a fairly desperate confidence game...

@cwiktrippack @boldgond @HistoryBoomer Nice try.
Doesn't apply
