The Rational Animal 🤔
The Rational Animal 🤔@theobjectivist·
Everyone should unequivocally condemn the government-imposed racial discrimination Obama is pushing! Obama makes three errors in one post, all of them philosophical. First, the United States is a constitutional republic, not a democracy. The purpose of the Constitution is to protect individual rights from the majority, not to ensure "equal participation in our democracy." The Founders designed the system specifically to prevent what Obama is demanding: unlimited majority rule. Second, "protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach" sounds correct until you examine the premise. Rights belong to individuals, not groups. The moment you define rights by racial group membership, you have adopted the same collectivist framework that produced the discrimination you claim to oppose. Jim Crow categorized people by race and assigned rights accordingly. Modern voting rights activism does the same thing with different beneficiaries. Both are collectivism. Third, gerrymandering is a problem created entirely by the system Obama wants to preserve: a political structure where the drawing of district lines determines outcomes. His solution is not to fix the structure. It is to ensure his side draws the lines. The government must treat every citizen equally before the law. Everyone should reject Obama's framing entirely. He is not defending individual rights. He is defending group power, while using the language of rights to make collectivism sound like liberty.
Barack Obama@BarackObama

Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach. The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

@getderb @wanted4mogging Do you have any evidence for mass raping, killing, and enslaving pre-colonial contact, or are you just saying irrelevant incorrect shit to feel good

When I saw this bill, my first thoughts were something like, 1) I'm becoming a mechanic and driving something pre-2027 for the rest of my life, 2) when they outlaw that, I'm taking up biking, and 3) when they start surveilling the bikes, I'm switching to running... Then it hit me: I'm in zugzwang. My only moves, if I'm to remain a law-abiding citizen, are to either 1) allow myself to be prison probed by the state 24/7/365, or 2) start living in self-imposed 15-minute city conditions. I have a sudden urge to throw wooden crates into a harbor.

Every new car in the U.S. will be required by law to have tech that puts constant surveillance on the driver by 2027. AI in your car will determine if you're sober and fit to drive, automatically turning off the vehicle if it determines you're a danger on the road.

I don’t see anyone from the Epstein files hanging from bridges yet, but you have time to go after a dude that used polymarket? That’s where we are?

This involved a U.S. soldier who allegedly took advantage of his position to profit off of a righteous military operation. Thank you to our agents, Intel teams, and great partners @TheJusticeDept who protected our war fighters. Investigation ongoing.

Yeah, that spec ops soldier shouldn’t have insider bet. But man is tough to see a veteran get the book thrown at him while DC politicians, appointees, and staffers do this stuff with impunity. Just doesn’t seem fair.

I've become somewhat of a parquet flooring appreciator. The SC Johnson family built a 5-generation multi billion dollar empire starting from these. Full story in replies 👇
