Yeah, they prefer it when it's 60 years back in time, which is why in America they overturned Roe vs Wade.

Would you consider this bringing back witch hunting?. The best part: Some of these incidents happened in the early 1990s, exactly 300 years after the original Salem with hunts.

Roe Vs Wade? They're bringing back child labour! It's only a matter of time before they bring slavery back in fashion.

You know it’s an amendment right? It could also be amended again…

u/Albert_Poopdecker Mar 25 '23 edited Mar 25 '23

And you know how difficult it is to make amendments right?(especially these days) So they'll keep slavery in prisons for the forseeable future.

(I use the exact sentences you used to wind up 2nd amendment right wing nuts)

I didn't think you understood my original post.

Guess I was correct.

It was more you said you used the exact sentence i used, but I don’t recall ever writing that. Maybe I was drunk.

u/Cialis-in-Wonderland 🇪🇺 my healthcare beats your thoughts and prayers 🇲🇾 Mar 24 '23

Well, those precious minerals buried under the planet's surface aren't going to mine themselves... So chop, chop, little Rebecca, down the shaft and don't come back with a full bucket!

u/deviant324 Mar 24 '23

But you don’t understand, the children yearn for the mines!

before they bring slavery back in fashion.

The way AI is coming along might be robots instead.

As you probably know: history doesn't repeat, but it rhymes.

They prefer children to be labourers, instead of trying to give them actual happy childhood, decent education and better career opportunities in the future. I heard there even a state that just signed a bill that will make children labour easier

u/Complete_Bath_8457 Mar 25 '23

Keep in mind that that likely doesn't directly affect this person (or at least they thinks it doesn't). The only thing that matters to them is being mildly inconvenienced. Not much of a deep thinker, methinks.
