    The northern U.S. and the South are essentially different countries.

    The year: 1859

    The Union took the worst possible course with "reconstruction": it placated and allowed the rot to persist, grow and self-govern again while having equal voice so quickly to states that didn't attempt to secede. The north should have either just let the south secede, or finished the job with a full-scale cultural annihilation that would have taken decades. We have been fighting the civil war since 1860, the civil rights movement a major battle but have now ceded government power to a group who wants to finally kill the union and get revenge on those terrible folks who took away their slave labor.

    Reconstruction should have been a New Deal/Marshall Plan level reimagining of a new country. Instead not only did we let things rot and fester while pretending much was solved, but any sort of reparations would make more sense while the actual last generation victims were alive.

  • Every Confederate officer and member of government, or highly decorated enlisted needed to be hanged. Every single one.

    CSA culture was just slavery. It was all slavery, the same way the Zionists today are all genocide. There's nothing else. The white confederates needed to be exterminated, and we're still suffering from having not.

    I know we won't, but I would like us to learn a lesson from history a single fucking time. Just one fucking time.

    I would consider Ohio to be northern, and they're certainly on their way

    Fortunately Wisconsin has had the UP for weed for quite a while, and the market up there is so heavily saturated that it’s cheap as hell even with the road trip factored in. Half of Wisconsin has billboards saying shit like “legal weed is how close??” And then the distance to the dispensary being advertised. Southern Wisconsin is doing better now that states around those borders are legal, though, so yay!

    It’s so absurd that it’s not legal here, when it’s illegal on paper only due to widespread availability close to the borders. We very quickly lost our chance to be major players in the industry regionally. Like there’s no massive tax money to be had from legalizing here now because they would still be competing with states that have a mature market and thus significantly lower prices. So dumb and shortsighted.

    I sorta hope more borders states do it just because illinois did the illinois thing and its to corp friendly and individual antagonistic. If the border states do it we will have to lower the taxes and fees and maybe they will allow some personal grow.

    Idaho is so depressing. From the land that produced Frank Church of the infamous Church committee, to an absolute right wing shithole with massive income disparity and privatization af all it's national parks and resources. I feel sorry for those folks

    what would you have me do about it?

    you want me to kill people?

    you want me to go out and extrajudicially execute people that I deem guilty?

    you want me to go out and burn down buildings and people that have committed what I believe to be grave injustices?

    you want me to go out into public and start randomly killing people because I feel wronged?

    please, tell me. what would you do?

    She looks like she's not just upset, but heart-broken. I can't help but wonder if she wanted the pregnancy, knew something was wrong with the fetus, and did what she had to in a state that left her with no other options.

    Edit: I recently learned that when someone's expression is asymmetrical, the left side of their face (which is controlled by the right hemisphere, which processes emotional content) is more likely to betray what they're truly feeling than their right side (which is controlled by the more methodical left hemisphere, which is better at masking.) What that reveals here is a woman who's feeling tragic sadness, and the best she can muster is a neutral half-mask while posing for a photo.

    Do we think Beshear could/would pardon?

    So just to be clear, this article is clearly lying about something. The abortion pill only works to end a pregnancy that is up to some level of development, so she was jot burying human remains in her back yard if she used the pulill to abort. She was more likely flushing blood clots down the toilet like a heavy period.
