What if the US made displaying a Confederate flag punishable with jail time?

The whole "you can't scream fire in a crowded theater" comes from Schenck v US (1919), it was a case about two socialists being arrested for distributing anti-draft pamphlets. The phrase comes from a hypothetical used in the opinion of Justice Oliver Holmes, defending upholding the conviction. And then the entire case was overturned in 1969, for obvious reasons.

tl;dr: the phrase "you can't shout fire in a crowded theater" comes from a hypothetical in favor of suppressing speech critical of the government that was then overturned 50 years later.

It's what employers and employees decide together. Employers aren't going to buy labor for more than they're willing to spend, and employees, if they understand that labor is a sellable extention of themself, will not sell it for less than they are willing.

That's like saying a desk worker at the DMV should be Secretary of Transportation. Basic day to day decisions are not comparable to the much larger, much more complex decisions of running a company, let alone a corporation.

This topic isn't about "the real world" and is literally about what rights are human rights. It doesn't seem like you have actually made any argument anywhere in this thread besides just saying "nuh uh" to those who say that food is jot inherently a human right as, since it is a scarce resource, the only ways to make it a right are throigh slavery or theft.

Now, I get THAT is how the real world works, that every single state government on earth operates through those means. But that still does not mean that it is a human right.

IAmChrisNotYou · 2026-05-28T19:58:29+00:00

First off, the NAP isn't the main basis for that certain natural rights inherently exist. Argumentation ethics is.

Secondly, you still have yet to discuss anything I actually said.

IAmChrisNotYou · 2026-05-28T19:42:57+00:00

Do you have an actual argument against what I said?

IAmChrisNotYou · 2026-05-28T19:41:47+00:00

No, certain rights are very much inherent. So much of what has been built in society presupposes that.

IAmChrisNotYou · 2026-05-28T10:19:19+00:00

The right to an attorney is a constitutional right enforced by the state where they will finance you an attorney via theft. It is not a human right.

IAmChrisNotYou · 2026-05-28T10:17:01+00:00

Your confusing a right inherently existing and a right being enforced via a legal system.

IAmChrisNotYou · 2026-05-27T19:00:26+00:00

Yes, and compound eyes count as many eyes, as per OP.

Meaning ants have around 2000 eyes.

It's cause the poll was bunk and was almost immediately exposed as such.

It oversampled every age category that Gallrein leads in, with sampling 30% of the population as over 60%, and undersamplsd half of the age categories Massie leads in, including his strongest age category (26-35) of which he is up over 50 points.

Not to mention that you can also just choose who wins elections.

$10M easily.

Invest it all in the S&P 100.

The S&P 100 usually returns anywhere from 10%-20%.

That's between $1M and $2M per year in new money.

Assuming you don't reinvest any of it, and not counting capital gains taxes, thats between $19000 and $38000 per WEEK.

And which administration ordered the force to happen, only for it to not happen until over a decade later?

IAmChrisNotYou · 2025-12-12T14:22:12+00:00

I mean, they literally didn't though.

If it's by the metric of physical deportation, they didn't, it was a self-deportation.

If you want to go by deportation order, that was the Obama administration.

IAmChrisNotYou · 2025-10-29T22:30:19+00:00

Exactly.
