I knew Lincoln's anti-slavery pretenses were bullshit and that the war was ostensibly about taxing the south, but god damn, I was still not prepared for some of this shit.
I've said this forever: States Rights and Slavery are the same issue. It's States Rights about Slavery. Slavery was the cultural touchstone of the time, the Industrial Revolution's economic consequences around slavery fed into the problem. It was an issue during the founding of the constitution, and it only got worse as industrialization made slavery as an economic activity preposterously stupid. It's all kind of jumbled up into one massive morass. It's like saying: "Our modern cultural divisions are about the Left's over-financialization of the global economy. That has nothing to do with Cultural Marxism!" That's just wrong. It's not one or the other. Fabian Socialists are using the financialization of the economy as a mechanism to control it in order to enact Socialism. It's the same issue. On a similar point, yes: it's about taxes, tariffs, industrialization, federal centralization, Hamiltonian v. Jeffersonian philosophy, which inform States Rights... which falls into the power of Slaveocratic rule by the plantation south, the mass immigration they initiated, the protectionism they gave themselves, and the broader abolitionist movement that would have destroyed their economic order. It's the same issue..
And as we know, if you are using your rights for a bad thing then your rights should be stripped away by any means necessary. War, suffering, precedence that will cause problems for centuries are all justified if you did a naughty with the rights allowed to you. Alternative measures and long term planning be damned, just stomp right in and force them to play by your rules for how you think rights should be used.
After all, why would anyone use the First Amendment to say nigger or other hate speech? Those rights shouldn't be allowed to be used that way either!
Shocking, but not really. But then, when you come into a conversation so assured of how right you are you just copypasta yourself, its to be expected to be closed minded.
Glad I watched this one, holy shit.

Eh. I'll copypasta what I already wrote:

I don't know what this has to do with my comment.
