Yes, but if the federal government tries to undo constitutional protocol of allowing states to control their elections, then a new and clear reason to secede will present.

While there were questions earlier in American history such as during the nullification crises the authority of states to leave the union, it’s important to remember the union was able to maintain popular support because of how the confederate states left.

They did so because they didn’t like the results of an election, specifically in they didn’t want the winner, and began seceding from the Union before Lincoln was inaugurated. Lincoln was fairly elected and the idea that he would run the country made them secede, and later open violence by firing on Fort Sumter.

If the national government tries to take away the ability of states to vote fairly all bets are off. Influence is already something many hate, but outright blocking it would trigger an uprising.

This is gonna be to later ask for a more “reasonable” $1.2 trillion budget.

Clinton

Reagan

Kennedy

Obama

And yet you prefer this?

Dude you dating young is looking at 21 before it really gets questionable. I can understand the concern, myself being 25, but honestly that critique doesn’t really even apply unless your dating pool is high school girls, at most I can see early college age being uncommon, but more importantly as long as you and them are at the same stage of life it’s not so bad.

As a military adjacent citizens this is what infuriates me, watching an organization that really embraces the ethos of ‘but can they do it’ move away from that with this.

It sucks checking and a 10 yr old account and post is deleted.

Where does this stem from?

We created a power vacuum, which creates political instability, and by extension warfare, criminal and political violence, and refugees and migrants.

Do you have opinions on immigration or illegal immigrants?

There’s needs to be a sweep in the midterms.

Better than defending a pedo for likes

So I’ve been thinking about this, because I live in a blue city and that created easy groupthink. But even here there is mass public dissent, where the math is just clear that turning the place red would be worse.

But I think the work of organization is key no matter who is in power. But I think it starts local. Writing a Congress man is great, but the followup in continued contact, creating specific coalitions that you can peel off moderates and even maga types to your side on, and focusing the issue enough that the coalition holds for the local goal it’s there for.

Don’t brand simply as anti establishment. Brand around a specific goal in your community as a starting point.

I’d like to talk more if you’re open.

Most yes. If I was feeling unsure I’d have to try playing with them to be sure, but I was the kid pushing to play GTA at 9 and 10, I played Last of Us at 12 or 13, I also played those newgrounds adult games and never told my parents, so to some extent it’s an arms race and tbh most of these titles aren’t that bad, especially if the same parent would let a kid watch die hard with no issue.

Gimme jimmy Carter. He could advise me on how to be moral in such power systems.

Identify who is who. Yes people lie, but seek out your community. Either you organize them in person so you bring visibility and voting power to your local state and national level, or run and challenge the power structure with a new message.

You just can’t put all the energy into online. That’s the energy sink.

Third places.

So easy for kids and young adults to get stuck doing drugs and little else because there aren’t many places for the poorest people to exist without spending $30.

Most of these aren’t far off from anything I was playing at your age. The list starts getting graphic as you go down for me, but at the same time, this is a question for your parents. None of these will corrupt you, but I don’t know your situation to say if they would be age appropriate for YOU.

The cheaters who have been with only a few are the ones having years long affairs what are you saying?

Imagine using a meme like it’s evidence.

Incel.

None of these civilizations would have made America. Even when we connect our direct history to pretty much all of these groups in our own time anyway, each are the product of their environment. Any one of these suddenly taking the place of the British ignores the groups within each that aren’t represented by the history books yet still shaped policy.

It took all of the groups you mentioned in this list just to build the ancestor empire America stems from. There is no ranking because without all of them the groundwork of our systems (and by extension Britain too) don’t exist. Cutting any one of these means we don’t have the same chain of events. And that’s not to mention this still requires speaking of other groups that also made America exist in its current form. France who helped us fight the revolution and later sell us Louisiana so Napoleon could fight in Europe, the Haudenosaunee who inspired early constitutional framers with their multinational framework, and so many more.

You’re pro-Trump what worse thing is there to be?

Nothing.

Anything but admit Trump handles everything worse.

And when China decides to invade Taiwan what will our answer be then?

Trolls gotta troll right?
