WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. FUCK.
This is going to turn into a nationwide pogrom at a rapid pace. Keep your powder dry.
What the frick does keep your powder dry mean?
Be ready to take up arms. Mississippi is trying to authorize gestapo.
Early muzzle-loading firearms required the user to carry all the gunpowder they’d need themselves loose in a simple container like a powder horn. With early-modern storage methods being considerably less reliable than modern techniques, you needed to be really careful to not let the gunpowder get rain on or submerged since that’d make it pretty useless.
So, keeping your powder dry means being ready for action.
Gunpowder won’t ignite if it’s wet.
Deep breath:
To become law in Mississippi, H.B. 1484 must clear two separate committees before advancing through the House and Senate with a simple majority vote and then making it to Gov. Tate Reeves’ desk. The bill’s many logistical challenges will make it hard for it to get past the committee phase, legal experts say.
This bill has only been introduced. Any legislator can do that with anything.
Yeah, but it was introduced in a state where the majority government and populace are stupid and racist enough to push it through. I say that as someone who was born and raised in that state. Just one of a novel’s worth of reasons I left that backwards shithole of a state as soon as I got the chance.
Here’s to hoping that anyone who supports this legislation ends up dead in a ditch. What the fuck is wrong with people? I seriously wish the worst fate upon these fascists.
I guess we’re back to full on slavery then, complete with slave catchers. Obviously it never fully went away because of prison labor, but this is definitely a step up. It feels nearly identical to how it worked right before the Civil War which is great (/s).
I hope no one ends up needing to use or help facilitate the use of a new underground railroad. And if they do, I really hope they don’t reach out to me for help on their journey. Or anyone else that might seem sympathetic to that person’s plight. That would be bad. It would also be bad if those folks knew who their allies were, naturally, because those folks would quickly get rooted out probably. Anyway, I hope people remain vigilant about helping maintain the safety of those at risk from danger at the hands of the very most deranged and problematic people in our society that are trying to ruin our American culture of awesomeness and make us less great.
Edit: And if these hypothetical people reaching out were to use a VPN of some sort, or some other means entirely, to try and protect their identity, boy oh boy let me tell you, that’s a paddlin’.
This is how they bring back slavery.
Even acknowledging that the cruelty is the point, I wonder what’s going to happen to the price of groceries when the labor force that runs American agriculture is criminalized.
Crops will die in the field unharvested, then not get planted next season. These “criminals” are the ones who maintain the food supply for the entire US, not to mention exports.
That labor won’t be gone, we’ll just go back to openly using slavery. This one isn’t even a bullshit interpretation thing like birthright citizenship, slavery is explicitly totally fine if done to prisoners, so life without parole is 100% to be read as “made into a slave”.
The left needs to start making bills that push the Overton Window way the eff back
Did you know that Mississippi is the anus of the US?
