Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

God Damn America
It's also in the bible
Tell you're closest evangelical freak
Any time someone justifies something as being "in the bible" they should get 30 seconds to back that up by citing and reading the passage that backs it up, with context. If they fail to do this, death.

One cool thing about the turn-of-the-millennium Icelandic legal system was that once a year, at the Althing, the lawspeakers would recite the entirety of the law. Anything they left out wasn't a law anymore.
That is unfathomably based
did they at least have a cover charge for the Althing? can't have the law be both legible and freely accessible.
In 1864 Lincoln won reelection. Owning slaves was legal. Woman were property. George Washington Carver was born. Climate change was discovered. WTF are we doing? These mother fuckers thought diseases came from evil spirits. Shit, Republicans still believe that one.
What matters isn't the intellectual or moral credibility of the law, just that it's on the books and can be used to pursue modern goals. Explaining these things in terms of credibility or intelligence is missing the point, which is christofascism.
I hate this country so fucking much
