    That’s the best part, the 13th Amendment says slavery is fine if they’re convicted of a crime, and if they somehow make all immigration illegal…

  Conservative agenda:

  Put young males to work until they’re old enough to enlist.

  Get young girls married and popping out babies as young as possible

    Don’t think they aren’t eyeing up little 13 year olds.

    Judging from the Trump Supporting Pastor just arrested, Matt Gatez and the rest, I assume it’s not just eyeing the 13 year olds for work.

    Yeah - see the thing about the evil trans pedos that totally exist and are kidnapping children to chop their penises off - they just aren’t following the rules for sex with children. It’s gotta be between an adult man and a young girl he can groom and abuse into being a perfect child-wife-slave forever (ever notice the baby voice fundie women like the Duggers tend to have?)

    Economically, socially, spirituality (even if you divorce the 45 that groomed you into getting hitched at 18 - Jesus hated divorce!) dependent. Of course, once he takes an interest in that sophomore in the youth ministry, it’s her fault for not putting out enough.

    “Wage slaves” is the only answer I’ve found that fits the available information. Some of them are being missed by others, but some must understand the impacts of what they’re asking for.

    • floofloof@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      They’re kicking out the immigrant wave slaves because of racism, so now they need child wage slaves to fill the gap. They just need someone desperate and powerless to exploit.

    “First world” etc are political terms relating to Cold War allegiance.

    What you mean is “developed country” and there are good arguments that the US has never fully fitted that label. You’d have people coming from “developing countries” to the US and realize that infrastructure and social security there is way worse than in their home country.

    source

    • mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Yeah, exactly. First world was allied with the US. Second world was allied with the soviets. Third world was basically everyone else, and was largely considered irrelevant to the Cold War. That’s why “third world” became a signifier of undeveloped countries; If a country wasn’t part of the Cold War, it was likely because they didn’t have enough developed resources or manpower to be considered a war asset. If they were developed enough to contribute, one of the two sides would have already been working on recruiting them to the war.

      Yes but the “American Dream” was never that. It was always to get richer than everyone else and so I can just say fuck 'em to the plight of the rest. Or in alternative terms, it only concerns me when it actually directly affects me.

      I believe the results of the last election and the ensuing “executive orders” actions are direct proof of that. Also it was proof of the large stupidity of the masses, something the Covid years exposed, but was directly proved in the election results. It was just a matter of time before a high level professional conman was so brazen about it.

  Florida sliding further backwards doesn’t surprise me at all.

  But on a good note it looks like Florida’s Free Kill Law might finally be ending after 35 years of horrors to all the Floridians and tourists caught in it’s trap, no thanks to the Republicans though.

    Trabulsy noted that lawmakers passed the existing restriction in 1990 to reduce insurance rates.

    “Lo and behold, insurance rates did not come down,” she said. “It’s about time that we change this law and put the courts back in the hands of Floridians.”

    That’s something, anyway. I hope we stop falling for “we will lower your rates”, because we know they won’t.

    The state has been easing up on child labor protections for years. Last year, the legislature passed a law allowing home-schooled 16- and 17-year old teens to work any hour of the day.

    Ooof. They are literally targeting the people who are active followers of their capitalistic cult. These people are deranged.
