You’re slinging so many sophistic insults at Republicans, I can’t bother to respond. Nothing will divert you from your black and white world view. Enjoy. .
I am saying exactly what they are and backing up my assertations with evidence. I am not arbitrarily calling them names. I'm not a fucking idiot. I am articulate and choose words for a reason.
But regarding other civilizations: certainly they had laws; nothing could get done without laws.
However what makes the West unique isn’t laws, but freedoms.
Btw, Russia isn’t the West - you’re confusing the West with ‘white people’!
.
What did I say that was wrong? Be specific
The great empires, such as the Abbasid in Baghdad (highly dependent on vast numbers of slaves btw) proved the exception, and for a while was the world’s center of learning and investigation. But in the end Islam asserted its prerogative over science, and the West quickly outstripped the great age of Muslim innovation.
Today, more books are translated in one year in Spain than in the last 1,000 years in the Arab Middle East.
I dont know what point you are trying to make at all, this doesnt refute any of my points, yeah its alot easier to translate things when theres millions of more people and computers.
Anyway, the principle of equality regardless of tribe or religion was revolutionary. That it was originally relegated to white men of property is immaterial, because it nevertheless represented a completely new philosophy based on merit; those rights were eventually expanded on to include all people.
Even today most places in the world do not have the basic assumptions of freedom and fairness that we Americans take for granted. Things get done based on your connections, and bribery.
Both capitalism and innovation thrive in a system that rewards merit; this is why millions upon millions of people are trying to come here. They do not have this at home.
The idea of equality under the law predates European civilization This was written in China between 700 and 625 BC
"the monarch and his subjects no matter how great and small they are complying with the law will be the great order" -
Guan Zhong
Clearly you are white because only someone whos white would completely ignore the experience of non whites it was not until the 1960s that European civilization began to move away for racial class systems in earnest. Right now Europeans are still promoting racial caste systems via neo nazism , what you are talking about is a very recent development and it is unknown if it will even persist because there are these people called conservatives that are fighting tooth an nail to deconstuct the legal frameworks that promote this equality. The freedoms that americans take for granted are not unique to america , all first world countries enjoy them and the majority of the second world enjoys these rights as well. You are talking like its the year 1452 , its 2023 dog.
But those millions will tend to bring their cultural assumptions and practices with them; that’s why immigration must be managed, and slow enough to guarantee assimilation. Or the whole thing comes down.
I agree and do not believe in open borders.
The Democratic Party clearly has a plan: to flood the country with new potential voters and create a permanent Democratic majority.
Some municipalities have laws that voters do not have to prove citizenship, only swear to it; but more importantly census takers count illegal aliens, so that expands the number of representatives, giving more congressional votes to Democrat strongholds.
Now youre smoking conservative crack. Clearly you are assuming that all of these people will automatically be democrats which is fucking stupid. People are dumb and because people are dumb millions of those people will register as republicans as well if they are legalized. Here in reality the democratic party is already much larger than the republican party by millions. We dont need illegal immigrants to defeat you. You committed suicide by making Trump the leader of your movement. It was a dying movement to begin with but Trump has dramatically sped up that collapse. We dont need illegal immigrants to beat you. We have been beating you every time we show up to the polls since the 90s. We dont have a registration problem like you republicans , we have a TURNOUT PROBLEM and MAGA gets dems to turnout. If we increase our turnout by 5% you cant win any national elections. NOT REGISTER 5% MORE , JUST HAVE 5% MORE OF THE CURRENTLY REGISTERED DEMS SHOWING UP DOOMS REPUBLICANS.
Republicans have secured the popular vote in national elections like less than 10 times over the past 30 years. Thats fucking pathetic. If it was not for technicalities in election laws you would not even exist. Any party that relies on legal technicalities rather than being popular is fucking doomed. You dont need to be a political scientist to understand that relying on legal parlor tricks is not healthy or sustainable for any political movment in a democracy
