For the record, just in case it wasn't blatantly obvious: I am AGAINST slavery

He's not wrong. Look at the amendment that banned alcohol. It was repealed through another amendment.

The Constitution is meant to be updated and changed with modern times. What he's meaning to say is that despite Republicans (who don't even understand the fucking document) believing the Constitution is set in stone, it's actually meant to be changed regularly.

Its dangerous to change the constitution to much because it leads to a situation where nobody believes in the document anymore

So 27's the magical limit? You think the people who were around when the 14th amendment was added didn't spew the same bullshit?

Rules always need to be updated or else we'd still be adhering to the fucking middle ages and still have slavery and kings.

So when the republicans are in control and demanding the Constitution be changed to protect the sanctity of marriage and ban abortion to protect the life of children and stop child abuse by baning gender affirming care you would be totally on board with that because rules need to be updated or else we would still be in the middle ages and still have kings and slavery

I mean, he's right though? The point of the Constitution is to be able to change so we can improve how we are governed. It's not inviolate and sacrosanct, it's supposed to be living.

Also slavery is on the table. It just has to be as punishment for a crime.

It's not even that anymore.

I'm personally a slave. I have the choice between working or ending up homeless and starving. If I can't work I'm told to go fuck myself and die.

The only difference today is I don't get whipped.

No like...it's literally in the Constitution.

Section 1. 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.

How long was slavery still around after the Constitution was ratified?

Oh that's right 77 years.

But like, the current active in-use fully amended constitution.

Where in the Constitution does it say wage slavery is illegal?

I'm not physically forced to work but if I stop making money for even a short period of time I'm at risk of losing everything. The modern age of America is wage slavery where we're forced to work ridiculous hours just to be able to afford to barely survive. If that's not modern slavery idk wtf is

How about being imprisoned for a bullshit crime where you can be forced to work without pay as outlined in the 13th amendment?

I’m not saying your life is peachy, just making the point that slavery as it existed 150 years ago hasn’t fully gone away.

Yes I'm essentially a house slave. I don't get beat because that would look bad. I just get the threat of starvation or imprisonment.

I'm betting this makes OP get all tingly in his special no no place.

Edit: For the record, just in case it wasn't blatantly obvious: I am not a crook!

Huh, seems to be one critter posting all this red pill shit. Thankfully, individual users can be blocked in Voyager/WefWef.

Typical Conservative retard doesn't even know the definition of amendment.

Slavery was never off the table. It just has extra steps now. Ya' may want to actually read the documents prior to commenting upon them.
