Compromising Humanity Rarely Ends Well

Hide your babies, we’re about to talk CRT. Okay, no not really. CRT (Critical Race Theory) is a specific thing but it is tangentially related to what we’re about to get into. For one thing, did you ever wonder why we have an electoral college? Did you ever consider the fact that the 3/5 Compromise was in force for the first almost 100 years of our nation’s past, giving slave-owning states outsized power in congress and giving new states a powerful incentive to allow slavery? Have you given much thought to what the result of that has been?

We have. And in this podcast episode, we get deep into how slavery has disenfranchised you and how land now has more rights than actual human beings in some cases.
