xor , to Lefty Memes in Every American President

nazi bullshit lies, mainly

xor , to Lefty Memes in Nice Guy

if all the people that don't vote, voted third party: they'd win...

xor , to Lefty Memes in Every American President

standard nazi bullshit lies

xor , to Lefty Memes in It's voluntary though

i responded to some things you said, not everything...

you can't just ignore everything i said and pretend like i was responding to something else i wasn't

xor , to Lefty Memes in It's voluntary though

i didn't say anything about "utopian"

xor , to Lefty Memes in Every American President

oh it was aaaaall about that! well thanks for explaining that so well...
it's weird all of the historical documents showing quite a few people were arguing about the morality of slavery... that members of congress came to blows over it and nobody mentioned the secret double secret reason of: it was aaaaall about votes because scubus saw a youtube video about it once....

i just quoted him... i don't have the amendments memorized by number

xor , to Lefty Memes in Every American President

Lincoln during the war: "If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time save slavery, I do not agree with them"

i don't think you understand that sentence you just quoted... i know it's a bit weird in phrasing, but it's probably a trap to cite the longer quote, but ignoring the context that he's a politician in the process of convincing people of shit and not every sentence he said was some plain fact and proof of something by itself, in a vacuum

Lincoln before elected: no, I'm not coming for your slaves

i wonder why that was a topic? it's almost as if: slavery was a very big point of contention, and the war and division was brewing for a while and lincoln didn't start the civil war by himself... and so he said some politician-type stuff to get elected and then in fact "come for" the slaves...

xor , to Lefty Memes in Finally someone said it

the less/fewer distinction was made up by a king one day... because he felt like it...

but, english is a living language and words mean what people intend them to mean, not what some dead guy mote thus be foretold, henceforth...

xor , to Lefty Memes in Inb4 "oxymoron"

almost inevitably

as if you're basing this off of some historical examples instead of just regurgitating the same bullshit argument you've heard repeated a million times...

the paradox of tolerance is about tolerating intolerant groups... not about maintaining some good powerful group to prevent some other bad group from taking power.

he definitely wanted to free the slaves, talked about it and wrote about it extensively, and definitely why we they started the civil war.

his bff was a former slave, even... and just how do you suppose he was supposed to add that 21st amendment before the civil war? you know the president isn't dictator, right? half of congress was the south, at the time... and they were voting pretty heavily in favor of slavery...

members of congress actually beat members of congress to death, in congress, in the lead up to the civil war... while arguing about slavery (in particular about accusations of members of congress owning slaves for raping purposes, rather than their arguments about labor)

xor , to Lefty Memes in Nice Guy

it's not really a vote for the worse option, it's a vote saying "i don't know what's best or don't care, so i'll take whatever happens"

xor , to Lefty Memes in It's voluntary though

that's not the problem at all.
the problem is that you must do labor for a particular group of people who own all of the money, and you must do something that they want you to do.
so you end up selling bullshit that destroys the planet, made with slave labor, to abusive assholes.... also, no sitting allowed, no expressing your personality, no unusual tattoos or hairstyles or then you're only allowed to do the really shitty work.

btw, we've fenced off all the land and you're not allowed to sleep anywhere or gather any food without money... so which, again, is almost entirely owned by a very small group of slave masters.

nice how you're pretending like the argument is about working vs not working at all...

and btw, we do live in a post scarcity society and universal basic income works just fine and is a huge benefit to society.

xor , to Lefty Memes in Every American President

he was basically forced into it

you're basically making shit up
