  • I don’t hate the government but I understand that we aren’t friends. I don’t hate billionaires or businesses but I understand that they aren’t my friends. When it comes to the most dangerous entities, it’s governments first, then businesses and billionaires.

    Nazi Germany was a government. Volkswagen and IBM were companies, and one of the wealthiest people in that place and time was Friedrich Flick. Friedrich was a shithead but Nazi Germany didn’t join the Friedrich fan club, instead Friedrich joined the Nazi fan club. Hitler wasn’t trying to be a CEO or a millionaire he was reaching for government power.


  • OP simply started this thread by posting an article, to which I commented, and you replied on my comment. If you wanted to talk to everyone in the thread you could have just not clicked reply on my comment.

    I am aware that there are many people in this thread (to which you are not directly replying) but you know it really seems like one person. OPs article coming from extreme left bias site, and everyone in here having basically the same opinion and almost saying exactly the same thing over and over “look at this enlightened libertarian”.exe highlights how really it doesn’t matter how many of you there are here. It’s essentially just one view.




  • While it’s true that many countries have documents outlining the rights and duties of citizens, the significance of the US Constitution and Bill of Rights can’t be overstated.

    These foundational documents were crafted with a specific emphasis on individual liberties and protection from government overreach, which sets them apart from similar documents in other nations. The fact that they’re products of governance doesn’t diminish their importance - it’s precisely because they’re rooted in the social contract that they’ve been able to shape American politics, law, and society in such profound ways.

    You can’t dismiss the unique historical context in which these documents were written, nor can you downplay the impact they’ve had on the country. The US Constitution and Bill of Rights have served as a beacon for democracy and individual freedom around the world, inspiring countless others to fight for their own rights and liberties.

    So, while I appreciate your point that other countries have similar documents, I believe it’s incorrect to imply that the US Constitution and Bill of Rights are just like any other. They’re an integral part of American identity and a cornerstone of democracy - and that makes them truly special.
