I'm starting to think the Bill of Rights was a bad idea. It doesn't actually give us freedom. Only the illusion of freedom. In theory, if the government violates your rights, you can take them to court and have them punished, but in practice, it's extremely difficult to do so, and the punishment for government agents who violate the Constitution is extremely lenient. If we're going to live under an authoritarian rule anyway, why not be honest about it instead of pretending to be free?
We're told that autocratic regimes are hell on earth, but history proves that's not true. Hitler and Stalin both had overwhelming popular support in Germany and Russia respectively, and the Nazis even had widespread popular support in many of the countries they invaded. By contrast, the United States is generally considered to be a more or less democratic society, but the US government has approval ratings often in the single digits. People are not happy when they are free. People are happy when they have an authority figure to make all their decisions for them. People are natural conformists.

i mean to be fair, she's too cute for critical thinking
like honestly what did you expect
Yes, libertarians are going to disagree with what looks very obviously like a series of false flags and fake news. I prefer Lauren's/Brittany's response, no I won't disavow it like a lame coward. I don't even want to talk about this shit.
How come redpilled blacks are so open about the truth and don't give a fuck whereas all you faggots hide on here?
Because being black gives you a forcefield from leftist, media and other faggots who get a hard on when a white person has any chink in their armor
Guess this is your first day here.
I think today I'm going to be extra cruel to you faggots bombarding /pol/ today. Enjoy your laughs.

Do any of you worry that /pol/ significantly warps your world view?
Like you're exposed to news stories through /pol/ that you otherwise probably wouldn't hear about because they're not actually that significant (obviously significant things get discussed here too, I'm not talking about those). Take a crazy feminist thing that happened in Sweden and a crazy tranny incident in Canada and a video of some white kid getting attacked because he has dreads and then repeat this cycle week after week until you're convinced that these handful of individual incidents from around the world are an accurate reflection of reality. Don't you worry that the nature of this board aggregates the most enraging articles, and by having a constant stream of these articles it makes the state of the world seem a lot worse than it actually is?
It's like when 10,000 twitter users form a lynch mob because someone said something racist. Those 10,000 people seem like a massive force, but in reality they're a fraction of a percent of the people on Earth. Most people don't give a fuck.
>>138005633
I'll give you a serious answer.
I legitimately didn't use the word faggot but my grandfather did. /pol/ brought it back, and it's pretty liberating to call fagootry by it's name.
The second thing is that no one has told me anything new to me in a long time. I learn about shit here so much faster than anywhere else. During today's happening, I read something in the sticky a good 30 minutes before I saw it anywhere else.
>>138005885
Appreciate the response but that doesn't really answer my question.
>>138006070
Well, I'm drunk as shit and fucking around on /pol/, so I didn't expect it would. That's still the best response you'll probably get to this post.

'Brave' enough to sneak around clocking people with a lock but not brave enough to take responsibility for it. I'd have a shred of respect for this guy if he was purely unapologetic and stood up for himself but to fucking whine and weedle and play the victim cause he got caught? I literally can't hate these people enough, my hate glands can't produce it fast enough

He's a giant piece of shit and still thinks it doesn't stink. Prison is going to be a rough irony for him. Remember that he 'taught' on the prison system.
Does /pol/ legitimately hate Israel?
They'e basically achieved the ethnostate that all of you want, and they fight to defend it rather than letting posthumanist philosophy make them weak.

I'm constantly having the media tell me over and over that the Civil War was 100% over slavery, which is starting to make me unsure of it all now.
I can someone give me the non-Google approvedâ„¢ TL;DR of the civil war? Why was the south willing to fight to the death with the north?
>>138005386
You don't even need to look at the civil war itself. Just the outcome: 14, 15, and 16th amendments. It was absolutely about slavery.

>>138005386
It was pretty much over slavery. That was the reason for secession. If you want to go deeper into it, the southern elite who owned the slaves needed/wanted new slaves states to be admitted. That would increase the demand for slaves, which would have increased the value of their stock. With Lincoln's election, there was a fear that no new slave states would be admitted, so they took the second best option, secession. This may or may not have been legal, but they fired on a Federal fort, which was sufficient casus belli to go to war.
The Civil War was not over states' rights, which was a post hoc justification. Before the war, there was a Federal law called the Fugitive Slave Act that required free states to return escaped slaves. The free states were lax in carrying this out. The southern states wanted more Federal oversight, to force the free states to obey the Fugitive Slave Act. They were federalists, not states' rights advocates. After secession, they wrote an analog of the Fugitive Slave Act into their constitution. Their constitution also required that any territory they acquired would also have slavery; they would not admit a free state. Other than that, their constitution was basically a copy of the USA constitution.
