Holy shit, I know who I want for Vance's VP.
bait used to be believable :/
It's also a lot of, "I think I should have it, therefore it should be a right." Or intangible desires that are entirely unenforceable.
I hate that term, because whenever morons say that they never mean the blind, deaf or other disabilities. Like that actually matter. Not just totally fine people who are ever so slightly on the spectrum and wish for praise.
All the legal stuff sorts of hits reality the way negative rights do.
Over the last 100 years nearly all of American exceptionalist propaganda was centered on "human rights". It doesn't matter if 100,000 people OD from fent, I'm free to speak my mind about it. This is all despite intel agencies doing all kinds of horrible things to anti-war and other political groups. Human rights are something that's easy to say, "the government won't go after you for what you say" They'll just entrap you, debank you, fire you, ruin your personal life, and if that doesn't work they'll assassinate you. It's much harder for a government to promise a base line life or a chance at a better life. Personally I think we should hold our government to the standard of both. Especially of our intel agencies.
The part where the buildings exploded was pretty exciting.
I check my bank statements at least once a month for fraud. I bet most Zoomers don't even know what a birth certificate is.
The original concept of "human rights" as per the U.S. Constitution was more or less things that the government should not infringe upon, and if they did it was a sign that the citizenry should rise up against them. They're not entitlements in the sense you should be given things for free. It's just what the government can't do, and its responsibilities towards the citizenry.
To be somewhat fair in the historical context, the late 19th and early 20th centuries were a political powderkeg and there were countless movements which saw humanity moving in a progression, and that part of that necessary progression meant the development of governments and societies to make people better. Both left- and right-wing revolutionaries and intellectuals pushed this kind of stuff in the United States and elsewhere.
I've been shocked by how many people have said they don't have a copy of their birth certificate. My mother pounded it into my head as soon as possible to always keep it on hand (edit: by which she meant in a filing cabinet where you live, not on your person obviously) or in a safety deposit box. I also have multiple copies of my marriage license, my SSN card (and have it memorized), and always keep my passport up to date even if I don't intend to travel.
This is exactly who I want working in the government.
Leftists when non communist countries commit human rights atrocities:
Cum swarm in a great band name tbh
The idea that you have a "right" to things that are not intrinsic to your body was a truly perverse inversion of the intent, but is ultimately the end state of Liberal political theory. That's why everyone now has the right to food, too health care, to housing, to this, too that.
I don’t think any of this is certain. But basically I think it harms any company that relies on foreign customers. Like for example Canadian and European liquor stores that are no longer selling US products. Maybe once Trump is gone these stores continue to sell US products, or maybe sales of US liquor never recover to their pre-Trump levels. This is one clear example, but I think it applies to many other industries. The travel industry is another major one. Flights to the U.S. have completely cratered - which is negatively affecting US airlines, hotels, and related companies. If Europeans and Canadians no longer want to buy US made products, don’t want to visit the U.S. on vacation, etc. then this is a pretty big hit to our economy. And even if these tariffs are reversed, and Trump is gone, I think the damage to the U.S.’s image is done and things may not return to their normal levels.

While those sound bad, as Johnny Bravo phrased it, they don’t seem irreparable. And as for the United States image, it doesn’t matter what we do in some people’s eyes lol. We will always be the big bad oppressors simply because we have the bigger dick.
yup that’s the first I’ve heard of that. I may have read it somewhere many years ago but I can’t recall.
