      I don’t know, slavery is pretty legal in a lot of places, including the USA.

      Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

      Sounds pretty legal to me. Just gotta drum up charges against whoever you want to enslave in the USA.

        In my state, it is already legal to buy supplies for growing mushrooms, possess an amount for personal use, and give and recieve them without payment. You just can’t sell them for profit.

          For how long? You live in a fucked up country. How long before feds start arresting people in legal states.

    Probably literal slavery instead of the Quasi slavery we have now. They’re just going to cut out the middle man I think.

      While I understand the sentiment, I hope you’re wrong. Once you make it possible to legally punch people for any reason, it’s really easy to just include more groups into the punchable ones.

      Haha you think we’re actually going to be able to get rid of them?

      I wish I had your optimism.

      No, in 50 years time America will still be a fascist power, but militarily entrenched and with colonized land

      We’re already past the time to stop them and unlike shitler, there’s no other world power that can even come close to matching us militarily.

      So with no coallition allies strong to save the world from the latest eruption of fascism, where the fuck exactly do you think this is going long-term?

    Well since we are all sliding into fascism, here’s my prediction for 50 years from now:

    Slavery and lynch mobs will be legal (provided the targets are the ‘correct’ ones)

    Women’s rights will be nonexistent

    Military press gangs will be legal

    It’s really sad how optimistic you all are in light of actual reality happening around you.
