  • When in the Course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the Earth, the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the Separation.

    We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security.

  • I think I now realize the subconscious reason why, even as a leftist, I’m very pro-gun, its that distrust of my parents, and thus distrust of school admin, which then also transferred into the distrust of authority in general.

    I hate how (USA) democrats delegated so-called “gun control” to the cops having the discretion to deny you a gun permit for self defence, not even a judge, but a fucking cop, and the same cops would intentionally never show up in time to help you against a home invasion. (see: “may issue” gun laws in the US, which has since 2022 been ruled unconstitutional, ironically I agree with the far-right dipshits in SCOTUS on this specific issue)
