Are our brains wired differently because I can’t fathom why the neurotypical majority hates immigrants.

Because I can’t fathom why people hate immigrants and minorities. Is it a autism thing where I can’t fathom why people hate immigrants

And what levels of probability of gaining wealth are you willing to forgo to attain a lean toward equity in wealth distribution?

In short, the safeguards are gone. The first step of fascism in the USA is here.

I do. I’m mainly thinking of the 1st amendment. Because of the first amendment, laws have varied so much in the US that something entirely legal in 1 state is illegal enough to get jail time in another. That sounds very unfair to me. There should be some federal law that prevents this from happening.

I also think that your high school bully likely managed to get away with bullying you because of such a right. If there was a legal restriction against it, like there is in some countries, then bullying would be harder to get away with. It also might encourage people who are anti police to find more constructive ways of addressing their dislike of police as opposed to just saying things like “fuck the police” or “ACAB”. I’m not gonna deny that policing in the US is flawed but I think that if a person believes it is flawed and has to change, then they should just say that.

There is a right in the US I feel strongly about which is the 2nd amendment, to the point that i think every country should have a legal right like it. It’s mainly because i strongly believe in the general right to self defense and there have been times where I felt very unsafe because I wasn’t legally carrying a gun at the time. I didn’t even have a single weapon on me.

If there was some restriction on the 1st amendment that made it legally impossible to vote for most restrictions on the 2nd, then gun laws wouldn’t vary much in the US and no gun owner would have to worry about getting arrested when they have to go to another state just because the gun laws of that state are so different that it would suddenly make them a lawbreaker. Similarly, the US cares so much about local control that if you were to get a concealed carry permit in 1 state, it would be legally invalid in another. That sounds unfair and silly to me. There should be a federal law that makes such a permit legally existent in any state.

I think this last restriction would probably be most attractive to the kind of people who frequent this sub, even though it doesn’t have much to do with rights that already exist. The restriction consists of an amendment that fully criminalizes slavery no matter the reason, not even as a “punishment for a crime”. The only reason I support this is because perhaps the US justice system’s focus on punishment is turning criminals into repeat offenders and not “rehabilitation-oriented” enough. Perhaps this restriction will make it more “rehabilitation-oriented” so they don’t turn into repeat offenders.

This is probably the most left-y political opinion I have. Private companies should have legal restrictions so they can’t do things like force people to work despite being sick and refuse to hire people who are disabled. There are more things i think they should be legally required to do and to avoid doing but I won’t list them here because I don’t want this post to be too long.
