One values what is theirs over what is not
Besides that, the idea of putting America first is a simple market transaction. If I have to have money taken from me, it should be going back to me or my group, not some shithole
Step off the ledge
You have to be a special kind of bigoted retard to refuse to walk in someone else's shoes for 5 seconds.frvcvs said:If you think that there’s no inequality in this country the odds are you’re enjoying the perks of it.

Just don't call yourself a patriot.
You're even shitty at being a nationalist.
And that's what you're the best at.
People will always be racist, sexist, and whateverist. The only way to mitigate that is to have laws that treat all people equally. There's nothing free market about any of this, this is simply about treating all people equally without any special classes or protections.afoaf said:theoretical != practicalifallalot said:Civil Rights movement bro.

"virtually zero" compared to when we lynched people doesn't mean it's zero
in terms a contemporary set of mores would dictate.
we wound up with special protection laws due to established patterns of
bad behavior and bias.
so...."we passed laws creating special protections to end patterns of systemic
civil rights abuses, everything is fixed now, we no longer need these laws"....?
I mean, it's be great if people weren't racist, sexist, whateverist, but they
are/were, and so we enacted new laws and constitutional amendments
this is just more of your lame free-market-will-solve-for-bad-behavior line
of thinking. you'd be better off not trying to argue in such absolutes.

Over and over again, same dumb sh!t.
Wymyns are equal enough.
Trans people and gays want "special treatment".
Racism doesn't exist.
Emotionally retarded Proud Boi scum.

You're fucking high
Hence your need to codify disparate treatment as an attempt to get the equitable outcome. You're now just half a step away from telling us that the ideals of a meritocracy are inherently racist and the result of the Patriarchy.afoaf said:laws that treat all people equally didn't work
so we had to codify certain protections
it's not complicated
there is still plenty of inequity and bias and it's not a result of
incompatible cultures or genetic predispositions per GD; it
seems a uniquely American institution when you look at income
inequality and criminality in other developed nations.
They didn't work because there were state and local laws that codified inequality, so it was a failure of federalism, not equality under the lawafoaf said:laws that treat all people equally didn't work
