Let me get this straight. You don’t like the US because we removed slavery from our Constitution instead of just removing the Constitution? What were we supposed to do instead?
No you put it in there. Slavery is now part of the document it is explicitly approved and glorified part of that document. Only way to really fix that sort of thing is to get rid of such evil document entirely. Correct way would have been total and absolute ban. But instead it was chosen not to do that. But to add only tiny clause against it.
Can you point me to the part where it says that? I’ll be sure to vote to change it and/or call my representatives, something I do every so often.
In the meantime while we’re working on that, do you know of any countries where I couldn’t do that? Perhaps places where the state sponsored social media would censor these words I’m typing before they made it to you. I want to keep a list and avoid buying microwaves from those places
Paraphrased the 13th amendment says slavery or involuntary servitude shall be used as punishment for crime. That if anything in my reading is absolute support for slavery. Which should be clear looking at how high ratio of people in the USA is punished for crimes.
That's not a reasonable paraphrasing. There's no directive that it "shall be used", there's an exception to the statement that it isn't allowed to exist.
I can understand objecting to penal labor, but you are over in "words don't mean things" territory.
Sure, let’s assume that’s a problem. The wording is not great, I don’t like it, let’s get rid of it. I’m still not sure how that requires re-writing the whole thing?
Gives 3.3 people per thousand in slavery. If the people there were good human beings should it not be zero? They have had much longer time to fix this, but have done absolutely nothing clearly. So they must be the bad guys, don't you agree? At least we can agree that they are comparatively worse guys. As they have had much longer to fight against slavery but have not done it.
No, I don’t agree and your argument makes no sense. Slavery has historically gone down in American but is going up in China. Clearly we have not done “absolutely nothing”. I don’t know what you mean by “a longer time”, slavery has existed in China since well before the current Chinese regime.
America is not perfect (maybe not even good) but your attempt to portray them as “worse” than China is nonsensical, the Chinese NK and Russian governments are as bad as it gets in 2024
