>Throwing your country into total chaos every decade is actually good thing.
Was Thomas Jefferson the first memespeaker? I seriously doubt he actually believes his own words.
>Throwing your country into total chaos every decade is actually good thing.
he supported the jacobins lol
>rebel
>against reactionaries
doesnt that make you a reactionary as well?
No. Read some Marx.
He was an early version of college liberals who are so far removed from the realities of the world that they support things like abolishing the police
And he supported himself with slave labor while preaching that slavery was wrong
Very similar to leftists who claim to care about stuff but rely on doordash servants to get food
>they support things like abolishing the police
Not a single person has said this. At most, they advocate for defending the police and addressing the root of crime instead.
Claiming "no one says this" is entirely disingenuous because there are plenty of morons online who hold literally any extremist opinion you can imagine. There are thousands of redditors out there who want to entirely disband police and replace them with social workers.
>the root cause of crime
is people's personal moral failings. Trying to claim crime is caused by economic circumstance is bullshit - crime is caused by lazy frickers who want shit without working for it, in richer circumstances they just skim off the top in ways not involving direct property theft
>crime is caused by lazy frickers who want shit without working for it
There are more crimes than theft, moron.
Yes, there's also rape (being too lazy to actually seduce a woman to get sex), drug use (being too lazy to actually accomplish things to get dopamine), assault (being too monkey-brained to work things out like a civilized person), and so on
>It's all just laziness!
Utterly braindead, reductive, boomer way of thinking. I'd bet money on it being projection.
>NOOOO you can't make me take responsibility for my own choices!!! Everything is le systemic factors!!!
Utterly braindead zoomer way of thinking
He's straight up lying. Everyone knows the left called for the abolishment of police years ago and still do. They just want to memoryhole it.
Police/prison abolition doesn't venture out of sociology textbooks or off campus much. Closest thing is how many legal systems deliberately try to keep people out of prison and keep police unarmed.
You keep lying when it was one most popular protest slogans of leftists on the streets in 2020. The left made it explitically clear they wanted to abolish the police and abolish prison.
I'm not sure why you're lying about something that anyone can prove with a five second google search.
Abolitionism mainly popular among Angela Davis acolytes. Legal reform on the other hand (like altering or eliminating qualified immunity and mandatory minimums) has very substantial support.
the average black has no idea what that means, and neither do the people they elected
Dilate
It's not as clear-cut, and any criminologist who's honest will tell you that it's a combination of individual agency and more systemic issues like poverty, unemployment, drug/alcohol use, access to lethal weapons, # of unwanted children, etc. None of those is 1:1 with crime but there's a clear relationship.
But it's flat out silly. Like 95% of liberals go with reforming or defunding the police. Only the loud schizos would ever suggest flat out removing them
One quick google search says this is a lie

The left did call for abolishing the police.
cops didn't exist until 9/11
Thomas Jefferson was the 18th century Hasan
>I seriously doubt he actually believes his own words.
It was a pretty mainstream opinion. Sam Adams said he wanted America to be a "Christian Sparta" of Puritan plantations who did nothing but work and prepare for war.
Jefferson was a bit of a moron but he knew that he was so a lot of his worst ideas were filtered out by Madison.
Rebellion is necessary. Every power structure, even if it started with noble I benevolent aims, eventually drifts towards the self-interest of those in charge. There's a lot of very powerful people in the world and none of them have your best interests in mind. Revolution refreshes the system and having them at regular intervals keeps the elites from degrading the common good too far
Jefferson's idea was for the US to destroy itself every generation and each new generation get to make a whole new constitution and government. Who wants a modern American to rebuild society?
You're thinking of trotsky, you actual subhuman
Modern Americans wouldn't be the way modern Americans are if there'd been a revolution every 40 years since the 1800s
>Modern Americans wouldn't be the way modern Americans are if there'd been a revolution every 40 years since the 1800s
There has been a revolution every 40 years since the 1800s, if you think about it.
He would have liked Argentina. They had civil wars every other year in the 1800s and basically 3 regime changes in the first 50 years of their existence.
How are storms a good thing for the physical world?
I interpret it as that storms are a "necesarry evil" as they cause destruction while also bringing water to otherwise arid regions, and rebellion is likewise also a "necesarry evil" as they bring destruction and instibility while also brining about necesarry reform and change. Not saying I agree with Jefferson, but pretty sure thats what he was attempting to say
>Throwing your country into total chaos every decade is actually good thing.
I sorta see the point in this now. Politicians end freedom when they become too comfortable. That's why best thing for freedom is to strip politicians of all privileges' and protections, so if something happens to them we can just easily replace them.
He was a pedophile
He clearly said that this "rebellion" does not exist in the physical world.
Honestly reading Thomas Jefferson's continuous sucking off of the the French Revolution did more to lower my opinion of the man than Sally Hemings ever could have.
