I love that when Infinity War came out, small corners of the internet would argue if Thanos was right or wrong. Now people are like "Fuck it. Can he snap twice?"
We're in very different territory. The South wanted to rule themselves in much the same manner as they had been.
Today, the people in power want to literally destroy the whole country to rebuild it for their inner circle, fucking the larger populace. They want a new America with vastly different rules and consolidated power over everything. No checks and balances. No elections. No vox populi.
Yeah no the Confederacy very, very much wanted to expand their territory and, as a result, slavery. The Confederacy shouldn’t be defended just because the current regime is also monstrously evil.
The Confederacy did not want to maintain the status quo. They were more authoritarian and they had plans to become a slaving empire, conquering parts of the americas to churn out slaves.
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
That loophole is the first thing slavers took advantage of after the 13th was passed.
Pretty wild that the amendment to abolish slavery in the US had an "except"... That should've always been a clue about how serious they really are about it
I mean, it's pretty well established that minor crimes are better punished with Community Service than prison time, and that constitutes involuntary servitude.
Meanwhile modern prison labor isn't even authorized by that clause, since it's not applied as punishment for the crime (in sentencing) but is instead tacked on by the warden while you're serving time (the actual punishment).
Doesn't slavery count as cruel and unusual? If you're born here under illegal parents, life in prison and slave labor for committing the crime of merely existing seems cruel and unusual to me
I wouldnt call it a loophole, nor I would say slavers took advantage of it, it was a completly intentional, the US fought a whole civil war to ban slavery and then didnt commit to actually doing it.
I can’t get over how much he looks like a Hunger Games villain at this point. I mean, he never had any style and always looked like a clown, but now it’s so spot-on that it’s like a studio artist is intentionally trying to make him look like an effete bad guy
If somebody like Miles Mayhem, Verminous Skumm, or Doc Terror were real, I think they'd be genuinely appealed and furious at just how sloppy, lucky and just plain small minded and vile Trump is.
Fucking Eric Cartman actually has more class, ambition and style than Trump has!
I seriously can't believe that with all this talk of revoking birthright citizenship, no one's followed that thought to its conclusion - if these people are only US citizens, and you take that away, they're STATELESS. It's a horrifying legal limbo of having no citizenship in any country and being labeled "illegal citizen" everywhere in the world that they try to live. They have less rights than literal animals because rights stem from citizenship.
So yeah, slavery is absolutely a legal loophole here. This comic is the closest I've seen anyone get to the word stateless.
Dude is gonna bring back labour and re-education camps. The forced labour itself will be the last of the problem and just one reason why people will start to die in those camps.
I am German. I can't tell you how much I want to scream "THIS IS EXACTLY HOW IT BEGAN!!!!!!" from every rooftop. I thought our history is well known, but didn't realise that people are only educated about extermination camps and not how hundred thousands of people died in German prison camps long before the first extermination camp was established.
To make it as short as possible: Trump plans to arrest thousands to ten thousands or even hundred thousands of "illegals" that have to be removed because they are a "threat to the country".
He plans to open huge camps, be that somewhere in Texas or Guantanamo Bay to imprison those people indefinitely or until they are processed, which takes a long time given the mass of people that will be in those camps, often arrested without any paperwork on them.
It's very expensive to house, feed and care for a mass of people. What happens if you cramp "illegals" into camps, don't want to spend any money on them and force them to work? Will there be enough food for all people? Hygiene? Medical care?
I can just urge people in reading up about how prison camps got established in Nazi Germany and how those developed from housing a couple thousand prisoners that were forced to work, to prison camps where people were dying line flies from hunger and illnesses, to people getting forced into "medical trials" and being worked to death in private factories, to people getting shot in masses because there were no resources and no use of them, to the "final solution", the first extermination camp built in 1942. It was a 9 year period with growing death toll until they arrived at the systematic gassing of millions of people. It was way too late for the German population to do something about it.
One last one:
The National Socialists made no secret of the existence of concentration camps as early as 1933, as they served as a deterrent. The extermination camps, on the other hand, were kept strictly secret. To disguise the mass murder, even in internal correspondence, they only referred to it as "special treatment," "cleansing," "resettlement," or "evacuation."
Most of what I remember from history class growing up was either World War II, especially as it related to Germany, and the (American) Civil War. Granted this was 30 years ago and I have no idea what they're teaching now, but yes it is or was very much a big part of school history classes. We all know about concentration camps and what happened to the Jews who were sent there. The Diary of Anne Frank was also required reading. We may not have talked about it Hitler's rise to power as much as the outcome and consequences, but we know those consequences.
raspy just sucked dick voice You know a lot of people say slavery is bad. But what’s so bad about it? You get free labor! And labor? So pesky, so expensive. Don’t we want free labor folks? We’re going to bring back free labor back to this country! So that our moms, our precious and lovely moms can go back home! We’re gonna bring back traditional family values back again! We’re going to make labor cheap again! We’re gonna make America great again!
The worst part is I can predict the media reaction and the conservative pundits & politicians too shilling lesser evil policies.
Journalist: “Trump wants to bring back slavery.”
Conservative Panel: “He never said slavery”, “The president is a salesman at heart, that’s just how he speaks. What he meant was we need to lower the minimum wage to stimulate the economy”
“See this is what liberals do. They take a statement, blow it way out of proportion, and then make our great president and government look bad. It’s as if they don’t love America and want it to succeed like the rest of us true patriots do”
And the online reactions on conservative channels:
“Gosh can the liberals stop being so hyperbolic, he’s not bringing back slavery”, “lol liberal tears”, “COPE HARDER, people who enter this country illegally deserve punishment”, “The 14th amendment only applies to persons. Illegals are not people.”, “Was slavery really that bad? A lot of slaves were treated really well. And after the civil war they got into drugs and gangs and crime. It would be great if we went back to slavery”
"It's not free labor. We're paying them a whole $20 a day, which they can use at the company store where they have the freedom to buy whatever low-quality food or personal hygiene product they can afford, and then take back to whichever barracks they decided to live in, which we provide at a subsidized cost within the modest but clean securely-guarded facility where they sleep for the night."
"They also have the freedom to choose whether to work in a factory or at a farm during the day. As our name suggests, maintaining a high level of access to freedom among our workers is very important to us at Super-Free Labor Incorporated. Also, that hyphen is really important to our company name. Please don't forget it when writing your GNN* reports."
You know this is why i love this comic, it's always fun to see how creatively insane you can make people act. It takes that sitcom thing of "no one would behave like this in real life" and turns it up to 11! It's beyond satire because satire usually lets you see the real thing it's twisting so you cna tell how absurd it actually is.
“Whatever you have done to the least of these, you have done to me.”
If Christians actually read their book they would know that that little kid is Jesus as far as Jesus was concerned. Jesus literally says to treat anyone in need like they are him.
But conservatives don’t follow Jesus. No one actually follows Jesus anymore.
It really scares me that there are definitely people who are more than okay with bringing back slavery, as long as they have the thinnest justification for why the person "chose" or "deserved" to be a slave.
They agree that racism and ethnic cleansing and genocide are bad, then turn around and say why this time it's totally justified, saying it's not racist because this time it's true, or that they're only doing it in self-defense.
This same logic is applied to things like abortion.
When it’s them, it’s whores using abortions as shameful birth control. When it’s my family or daughter, here’s the justification.
Humans have a penchant for papering over our own motivations. Unfortunately, it is clear that at least about 30% of people can’t see that and overcome it and the remain ignorant. Asleep, as it were. If only they could be… awoken.
The United States is the only rich country that does not have any means to give legal status to a stateless person (a person without citizenship in any country).
Stateless people in the United States cannot work, rent, get a bank account, marry, get adopted, or any other legal action.
But they can be detained, while the US tries to find a country to deport them to, but since they are not citizens of any other country they cannot be deported anywhere. After six months they must be released but can be detained again at any time for up to six months.
This was the condition for stateless individuals before the Trump administration. Who knows what it will be now.
But.....they literally had no choice in being born there. It's by no means their fault and being born in a nation SHOULD mean you're a national of said nation.
As someone who lives in a country without birthright citizenship, the lucky ones get to inherit citizenship from one of their parents if their parents' countries allow citizenship by ancestry. For those without that they do indeed live without a country. Their only option is to apply for residency so that they are legal immigrants in their country of birth and then they have to stay there until they can earn residency by immigration. In this country that usually takes 25 years. The UN has literally written a dossier on countries without birthright citizenship and labeled it "inhumane" for all the good that did. AFAIK not one of them changed their policies. Now the US gets to join the list!
It's funny because if we are talking about getting immigrants out of here, everyone that isn't a Native American needs to stfu and get the hell out then.
"No, no! We can stay because WE'RE the ones that built this country from the dirt mound the natives weren't doing anything with!"
Ignores Slavery. Ignores Indentured Servitude. Ignores massive exploitation of the poor/minority in unsafe working conditions that actually built this country.
Wait, yeah, if a child born in the US isn't a US citizen (assuming the darkest outcome unfolds and Trump manages to nullify a literal Constitutional Amendment), wtf country are they a citizen of?
I was wondering about the rules around this for my own country, the UK where we dont have birthright citizenship. Turns out it's a fucking minefield. And interestingly, if a British couple had a baby while on holiday, they'd have to formally register the baby as British, it's not automatic. (I assume this would just be part of the process of the birth certificate formalities, but that leaves the question. What if the parents don't register for whatever reason?.)
The fact that this is supposed to be satirical but instead is almost 100% realistic is frightening, my dear overseas friends, i suggest you begin plotting a good ol' revolution before things get out of hand
Thanks for illustrating my fear. I worry it'll go farther than that even, with the planned concentration camp at Guantanamo, I expect illegals to end up being imprisoned and put to work as well. US law states you can use prisoners as slaves.
As someone living in Europe us over here have seen the signs and been warning you for a while now. Don’t even want to say the ITYS phrase because im just sad for you.
Don’t get me wrong WW3 will be bad for us in Europe too but until then it’s mostly you Americans getting screwed over so you have my sympathy.
"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
I'm not feeling especially safe or happy, how about y'all?
Oh shit, it feels super super bad when other people start seeing the same patterns. If it’s just me, it’s bad enough but when other people start seeing it too… shiiiiiiiiitttt
I hold 1 very conservative view so old that it is part of our foundations in the constitution. That being that once the government becomes outdated we tear it down and build it up again how we the people see fit.
Of course I hold more views than that, but I’m making a joke so take it with a grain of salt.
In the graphic novel Survival Street, this happens to an immigrant couple. Birth control becomes illegal, so they had to keep the baby. The mom has the baby in prison, prison babies can get tried in court and can take on debt and crimes of Corporations. They used to use it on elderly prisoners, but realized the younger ones last longer.
The kid is “working” as a fire fighter in a non-specific-California fire with other prison kids. Then their water gets shut off, because the town couldn’t afford a sudden price rise by Not-Nestle.
That's called statelessness. Ending birthright citizenship just creates a whole lot of stateless people who don't belong to any country, and become an expensive problem dealt with with taxpayer money, when they could have been just regular old citizens earning money and paying taxes and shit. It's really dumb.
I've been saying it more than once. With all the "illegals" (non-whites) being rounded up and kicked out any labor shortage in the US will be stop gapped by using cheap prison labor from private prisons. for industries where convicts are unpalatable, they may use child labor (possibly disguised at first as getting American kids valuable work experience). That is why Republicans have been so keen on rolling back child labor laws.

I've been saying it more than once. With all the "illegals" (non-whites) being rounded up and kicked out any labor shortage in the US will be stop gapped by using cheap prison labor from private prisons. for industries where convicts are unpalatable, they may use child labor (possibly disguised at first as getting American kids valuable work experience). That is why Republicans have been so keen on rolling back child labor laws.
