America is obsessed with upholding the Constitution not because it was written by imperfect human beings but because it is the vehicle which has greatly improved the human condition throughout these past 230 years. There is no other method that has endured so long, freed and uplifted and inspired so many people as the Constitution of the United States. It is a keeper.
It's fucking mind boggling how stupid this country is. Socialism has taken a rural peasant country and produced a super power in like 50 years, twice, and still people here are convinced it's some fantasy system
I've made this exact point before, but as a counter factual, I can't think of a place that has rapidly developed in the same way due to capitalism. Rather, it seems to have buoyed the existing world powers through industrialization.
Communist countries are demonized if a single person trips on their shoelaces, but the US can be an imperfect beacon of light even though it’s founded on genocide and slavery with modern people still refusing to change the language that advocates for those things
but because it is the vehicle which has greatly improved the human condition throughout these past 230 years
All of those improvements were in spite of the intent of the rich slaver oligarchs that are now getting their revenge beyond the grave all this time later.
They really do believe that their system is the best. Every election cycle I would hear at least one person say, "other countries don't get to vote for their leaders" and I'm over here wondering what those other countries are.
This is blatant propaganda to make people like North Korea,they actually reuse the bullets, making prisoners dig the bullet out of the previous victim and hand it over to the the executioner
That's absolutely amazing. You all fought a civil war because the constitution wasn't good enough, they literally had to spill blood over the framer's idiocy like 150 years ago.
It's crazy to me that Johnson let former confederates vote and hold office or hold property. They obviously should have stripped all the slave owners of their property and parcel it out to freed slaves or returned it to whatever indigenous nation was in that area or something, fuck.

he was literally a southern democrat. lincoln got rid of his first VP hannibal hamlin and replaced him with a drunk racist piece of shit as an appeal to "national unity" after he already won the civil war. he should have been stomping the face of the vanquished dixie leaders into a soup like homogenate but was instead trying to appeal to them with civility
Marx thought Johnson would've been alright because he was a fairly brutal military governor of Tennessee. Pretty sure he wrote about it to Engels but I cant find the letter.
there's a whole book of their published letters to each other regarding the american civil war but they were spectating from across the ocean in a time when there wouldn't be a "24 hour news cycle" for another 135 years so.
Sometimes you just own people and force them to do labor even after people realize it's probably a bad thing to do. Sometimes I write the wrong year when writing the date. Nobody is perfect.
Most propagandised people on earth.
China, looking up from pulling hundreds of millions out of poverty in the past 30 years alone: What was that? Did someone say my name?

We basically chose to barely update it and now use the fact that we didn’t as justification for not doing it further. Big brain shit tbh
Look we've had this paper for a long time. That's why we need to have it longer.
Says person who hangs on to that box of computer cables for just one more year in case they need them.
One day I'm going to need that serial printer cable in case I buy a dot matrix printer.
I don't have a problem

The constitution should have been torn up after the civil war (also the radical republicans should have been far more radical)
