She’s smart enough to figure out what the law really is, but too idealist to accept the obvious conclusion. Slavery was legal, the holocaust was legal, segregation was legal. Poverty is legal, war is legal, capitalism is legal. Legality and morality are two completely separate concepts.

By the way these tweets illustrates my theory that all public references to “values” are complete bullshit.

Slavery is still legal if it’s inflicted on prisoners

no you don’t get it, slavery is one of those doctrinal values they’re talking about, for the american system it has always been the aim to limit rights to minorities to the strict minimum unless under maximum pressure, see for example the definition of cruel and unusual punishments

Create post

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
