  • Those three things may not be magic bullets, but pretending that there's nothing we can do is just lazy thinking. Obviously we don't have a time machine, so the next best is housing, healthcare, and rehab. All things that many homeless people would take advantage of if it existed. You are correct that not all will, but many, many will.

    Don't let perfection become the enemy of progress.

  • It's such a forceful word that's lost all meaning in this day and age. Every time I see the word 'slam' in a headline I know literally nothing has been done about the problem.

    Like, thanks Mozilla. You pointed a finger. What now?

  • "Now there is also another bit where it acknowledges some were explicitly fighting to defend slavery. However since what those researchers are using is letters…"

    You're really handwaving away what's called a primary source of information. Those letters are actually really important for understanding what was going on in the heads of the soldiers at that time. The fact that they were explicitly writing about the right to own slaves shows that they were aware of what explicit right they were fighting for.

  • Yeah, there was only one right that was in question. The average confederate soldier was there because he wanted to protect the white mans ability to own slaves because he thought he was going to get rich doing it once the war was over.

  • Trump wasn't the president in June of 2022. That's when Roe V Wade was reversed. This happened under Biden's watch. Democrats have failed time and time again to do something to enshrine abortion rights when they've had the opportunity. Why would I believe that they are actually going to do something this time around?

    Here's how the future's going to go if Biden gets elected. They'll spend the next 4 years not protecting abortion rights, and then a republican's going to get elected in 2028, and completely destroy abortion rights federally. Democrats will continue to con you into voting for them by faking a promise to bring back abortion rights.

    Shit's going to get far fucking worse before it's going to get better.
