Slavery never left it just got rebranded.

The Thirteenth Amendment needs to be amended.

Per Wikipedia: The Thirteenth Amendment (Amendment XIII) to the United States Constitution abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime. The amendment was passed by the Senate on April 8, 1864, by the House of Representatives on January 31, 1865, and ratified by the required 27 of the then 36 states on December 6, 1865, and proclaimed on December 18, 1865. It was the first of the three Reconstruction Amendments adopted following the American Civil War.

    The US is a prison nation.

    If we have a civil war, that can change. I can’t think of better recruits for soldiery and domestic, than those who have been wronged by the opposing force. It is a silver lining to the deterioration of the USA, if this evil can be dispelled for good.

      Most of the US hates their neighbor/s, hence the strong anti-immigration push. That’s beside the ingrained racism.

      If a civil war breaks out, it’ll be every man for himself or a loyalty pact based on color, origin, religion or geography like Afghanistan or Myanmar.

      There won’t be a “us vs them”, it’ll be “us vs all of the others”.

      But fantacizing about gravy seals is what ya’ll do best.

        No no no, in my defense fantasy we all rise up and take out the ruling class and then slowly become just like them.

      What makes you think there will be organized resistance to the party?

      Just oppression, purges, projection onto groups to be persecuted, and their assets atole.

      The disfavored first, soon for the end of seizing their assets.

      Not civil war, oligarcgic repression, as it looks now.
