  2. ย @JuggaloNYย  It's been a series of SCOTUS decisions that put inequitable power into the hands of the wealthy-class-RWers and basically turned the entire working-class into a state of permanent slavery. I'll list the cases below: Buckley v. Valeo (1976): This decision ruled that the government putting limitations on election expenditures by individual-citizens is unconstitutional -- so the government can no longer limit how much money an individual can spend on elections. So, now, the wealthy-class-RWers can spend as much money as they want, to produce as much propaganda as they want, for electoral purposes. Basically, the Court ruled that "money is speech" (and there are no laws against telling lies). So, now, the wealthy-class-RWers can use as much of their money as they want to promote lies on TV, on the internet, and in publications, and no one can stop them. First National Bank of Boston v. Bellotti (1978): This decision basically ruled that everything about the Buckley v. Valeo decision that applied to individual-citizens now also applies to private-corporations, too. So, now, not only can the individual wealthy-class-RW citizens use their own personal money to engage in unlimited deception in campaigns & elections, but, the same wealthy-class-RWers who own & control the businesses & corporations in the country, can also use the money that belongs to the business-entity to produce deceptive-propaganda as well. This decision basically gave free-speech/money-is-speech rights to business & corporate entities. McConnell V. Federal Election Commission (2003): This is a case with lots of "moving-parts." But the wealthy-class-RWers came out on top again. It's worth understanding the decision(s) in this case, because it shaped how we've gotten to where we are. And, where we are, is right on the cusp of fascism. McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission (2014): The decision in this case expanded on the rulings in the Buckley & First National Bank of Boston. The decisions in those previous cases allowed unlimited money to be spent on propaganda regarding policies and elections. But the decision in McCutcheon ruled that limitations directly to the campaigns of candidates were also unconstitutional. It basically expanded on the idea that money is speech, and that the government passing laws to limit wealthy-class-RW people from spending their money on bribing candidates who are running for electoral offices, is a violation of the First Amendment. Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (2010): One of the most consequential cases/decisions in US history, and absolutely important to know. It expanded on most/all of the unfair rulings/decisions on the cases above. Solidified the power of the wealthy-class in society. To use an analogy: if the previous cases & decisions paved the roadway for fascism, the decision in this case paved the runway for fascism. Or, rather, it built the rocketship to fascism. The decisions in all of these cases disproportionately benefited the populace-minority made up of wealthy-class-RWers, and they disproportionately burdened the populace-majority made up of working-class people. Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, and those SCOTUS cases and their decisions did more than just what I've written. And I may not have even adequately described the things I tried to describe. But you can definitely find plenty of information on the cases above. โœŒ๐ŸคŸโœŠ๐Ÿ™

  13. Schultz's willingness to oppress working-class people (like Nazis did), is as disgusting as the African-Americans who are willing to oppress working-class people in their communities (like slave-patrollers did). Schultz is a descendant of the oppressed, working-class, Jewish victims of the enslavement and genocide perpetrated against them by Nazis. People like Schultz enslaved and murdered his ancestors. African-American LEOs are the descendants of the oppressed, working-class, African victims of enslavement and genocide perpetrated against them by Confederate, American and European slave-patrollers. People like African-American LEOs enslaved and murdered their ancestors. The phrase, "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em," comes to mind. Schultz is a perfect example of the phrase, "If you can't beat the Nazis, join the Nazis." African-American LEOs are perfect examples of the phrase, "If you can't beat the slave-patrollers, then join the slave-patrollers." If I was a proponent of hyperbole, I might say something like: "The murdered ancestors of Schultz and African-American LEOs are rolling over so fast in their graves, I'm surprised the Earth hasn't spun off its own axis and flung itself out of orbit." But I'm not hyperbolic -- hyperbole is part of the propagandist tool-chest used by wealthy-class right-wingers -- and I'm not a wealthy-class right-winger. So, instead, I'll say something like: "Schultz acts like he's trying to help the Nazis win the war, over a hundred years later. And African-American LEOs act like they're trying to help the Confederates win the war, over 150 years later. But one thing is certain, and that is that both Schultz and African-American LEOs are acting to help right-wing Conservatives to conserve their white-supremacist power under the inequitable system of Capitalism. F*kc 'em all. And f*kc anyone who disagrees."

  29. RW-politics = enslavement politics. Monarchism, Feudalism, Capitalism, Republicanism,* Corporatism, Oligarchism, & Fascism are ALL systems in which the populace-minority of wealthy-class people enslaves the populace-majority of working-class people. Democracy & socialism are two of the antidotes to the inequality & enslavement that are perpetuated by the corrupt wealthy-class & their corrupt RW-politics. All of the problems in the world can be traced back to two main sources: (1)to the corrupt wealthy-class knaves & their corrupt RW-politics, and (2)to the few working-class dupes who support the corrupt wealthy-class knaves & their corrupt RW-politics. For example: The Confederates & Nazis were both RW-political parties that were founded & funded by (1)the corrupt wealthy-class, and were supported by (2)a few working-class dupes. The Repubs & Dems are both RW-political parties that were founded, and are still funded, by (1)the corrupt wealthy-class, and supported by (2)a BUNCH of working-class dupes. BOTH parties have enabled & legalized bribery. BOTH parties engaged in Gerrymandering & voter-suppression. BOTH parties have made it harder to vote. BOTH parties have decreased the ease of voting. Question: Why have BOTH parties worked together on those things? Answer: Because BOTH parties are bought, owned, bribed & controlled by the same corrupt wealthy-class and their corrupt RW-politics. Footnotes: *Republicanism includes BOTH the Republic-party AND the Democrat-party in the US. BOTH parties adhere to, and promote, the system of a Republic over the system of Democracy. Although, the US is barely even a Republic anymore -- it's closer to a Technocratic/Theocratic Fascist Kakistocracy, just like the Confederate-South and Nazi-Germany were, just like Zionist-Israel is.
