America is a dying empire because no one respects its founding code and principles.

hahahaha what?
If anything it's the opposite. The average American is oppressed by the rule of law, while the elites are able to get away with what they want due to wealth and influence.
See, disproportionate incarceration rates of minorities, corporations choosing to break the law because of ineffectual penalties, and the fact that no major bank has been charged and convicted for the great recession. Rule of law is just a tool to control the people
>>128235525
Nice. I like your point of view.

Also don't forget lobbying, which is the only way to get your voice heard by your representatives. This costs major dosh, and reinforces the control rich interests have on washington since they're able to convince our representatives to craft laws that benefit them at the expense of the common good. (net neutrality, AHCA and repeal of obamacare, sky high pricing of pharmaceuticals, and withdrawal from the Paris Agreement)
tl;dr Fuck the rule of law
>>128235525
Then it's not the rule of law, but the rule of men.
Muh Constitutional Fundamtalists have been lying to us and themselves all this time.

The way I see it, it's like Communism.
Great in theory, but when you add humans into the mix it starts fucking up

Oddly, the humans that fuck it up are the ones at the top. Simply mow them down like tall poppies periodically and problem solved.

OP said the founding code and principles. What we have now is nothing like the principles the country was founded on.

>implying that would be any better
Better hope you're a land owning white man.

Pic related is cool
We should just go back to that simple shit. Painting each other up, barbecues, tilling the earth, dancing round a fire. Medieval people worked fewer hours and drank beer all day.
>>128237385
What makes you believe the founding code and principles were meant to serve us? Do you really believe every piece of advertising is true and every rich fuck really wants to help you if only you'll sacrifice your time, interests and lives for them?
