I dont understand how "love it or leave it" applies to his argument. You think I cant love America and also see that it needs to change?

What argument?!? And if you love it but see it needs change then you love it.. which means he isn't advocating that you leave.

German neo nazis use the confederate flag cause nazi imagery is illegal in Germany

And? Waving the Nazi flag isn't illegal in the States. "X is illegal so they do Y, the other place MUST do Y because X is illegal."

Calm down mu guy. It's just a interesting fact

That's a stretch. I get that you want to call anyone you dislike a nazi but have some self respect. Do you REALLY think that anyone with a

confederate flag, that wanted to wave a nazi flag, would have the tact or common sense not to? They're already waving a symbol terrorism.
PlantainSuperNova
It’s true in Germany. Neo nazis there can’t wave around the swatstika cause it’s illegal, so they use the confederate flag instead.
SpartanStatic
Which is fair, but it's not illegal to do so in the US. So while the germans cannot legally, the Americans can. So again: See my 2nd reply.

The "state's rights" argument is horseshit. Look at each state's Articles of Secession. They specifically list slavery as the reason why
StewedTomaters
they left. It was over a state's right to allow their inhabitants to own human beings and deprive them of individual liberties based on race
TheSierraDeuce
Yes, and that's why individual liberties should be priority. That's why the CSA claim of states rights was bullshit imo.
StewedTomaters
Yep. Pretty much any time someone says "state's rights," they can pick a CSA state for me and we'll look at their Article of Secession to
StewedTomaters
see the reasons they themselves chose to put in there. It's always "slavery"
CapttainKillJoy
Stars rights? Please explain.
TheSierraDeuce
In short, as long as the constitution and civil liberties are not violated, state A shouldn't be able to leverage the fed against state B.
TheSierraDeuce
Pt1. I.e. if MS votes to legalize casinos, but AL doesn't want casinos, AL can't force the fed to shut down MS because people from AL might
TheSierraDeuce
Pt2. Lose on tax revenue because people are spending money at MS casinos instead of AL...whatever people do in AL.
TheSierraDeuce
I apologize, your question deserves more respectful detailed answers. It's worth asking.
bigboneded
The Confederacy was against"State's Rights." Fed allowed Northern States to ban 'travel slavery.' CSA wanted that reversed.
Mrgoldenfold
YES! TY! They wanted a stronger central govt to enforce their laws. States rights my ass. Read the Articles, they didn't even mention them.
TheSierraDeuce
States rights is often a Confederate straw man I'll agree, doesn't mean I want to surrender all autonomy to Trump or whoever is in power.
TheSierraDeuce
That's why this conversation is so sticky. A mention of any state autonomy as if it were synonymous with the confederacy.
CyborgSpaceViking
Genuinely asking, but what does states rights mean to you?
TheSierraDeuce
It's a good question, in broad generalities it would be as long as constitutional law is followed, primary governance should be the state
TheSierraDeuce
For example, what Illinois decides about sales taxes, or civil ordinances shouldn't require California to adopt it.
TheSierraDeuce
Or just because New York want to do X, they shouldn't be allowed to leverage the federal government to make Wyoming do it too.
TheSierraDeuce
Apologies, it's difficult to give the respect in an answer your question deserves 140 characters at a time.
HessianGhost
Every time I have seen someone arguing for states rights, it has always been at the expense of individual liberties.
TheSierraDeuce
I would say in order of priority it should be individual civil liberties, local/states rights/ then federal.
HessianGhost
Sounds good in theory, but in practice look at the civil war. The states right in question was the right to own people.
MiguelCamino
The north didn't care so much about slavery they just wanted tariffs on the products of slavery.
TheSierraDeuce
Right, and that's why the individual's liberty is placed higher than the states.
HessianGhost
That is utterly meaningless when literally every time states rights are brought up, that is not the case.
TheSierraDeuce
It is certainly a balance of what people should be free to do and what they are told they must do.
