If The United States Had Enslaved The Vietnamese Instead Of Black Folks We Would Probably Have High Speed

If the United States had enslaved the Vietnamese instead of Black Folks we would probably have high speed subways by now.

If we had universal healthcare do you think doctors would find a reason to not treat the poor and homeless?

A graphic from Mad magazine #182 from April 1976. The larger piece this comes from is "A Mad Portfolio of Some Idealists' Dreams" by Arnoldo Franchioni.

I have been starting to visit and revisit Mad following the discovery of a huge box of old issues in the storage unit of my wife's late uncle. Some of this stuff has aged in rather interesting ways.

Most people who are pro self defence, and the right to be secure in their person are pro bearing arms. Intent can't be proved on the shooters part so a burglar could be a murderer, it is the Shodingers Cat of FAFO. It is what it is.

Many people break this logic by saying that militaries in foreign countries is unlawful, but never explain the why of the thought process.

The ethical concern with war isn't bearing arms and it isn't trespassing in foreign countries while doing it.

The ethical concern with war is when that Cat is clearly not murderous psycho. If the GSA (the little girls with the cookies) came inside your house and you shot them you are going straight to the dungeon of Castle Gay Skull (Federal Prison).

You can't openly kill in bad faith. The right to bear arms and to be secure in their person is unalienable. It's why abortion, breast implants, and any other medical surgery should be legal. It's why kids breaking into houses get shot.

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

Thusly Liberating Europe after prohibition was good and Israel evaporating children is bad. It is what it does.

Thank you for reading.
