House of the Wolf wrote:For any who are unfamiliar with what a
debtor prison is: "A debtors' prison is a prison for those who are unable to pay debt."
The US Supreme Court ruled against these types of imprisonments in
Bearden v. Georgia, 461 U.S. 660 (1983): "A sentencing court cannot properly revoke a defendant's probation for failure to pay a fine and make restitution, absent evidence and findings that he was somehow responsible for the failure or that alternative forms of punishment were inadequate to meet the State's interest in punishment and deterrence, and hence here the trial court erred in automatically revoking petitioner's probation and turning the fine into a prison sentence without making such a determination."
However, it seems that, now, many states are circumventing this through other means to imprison people, essentially for being poor.

discussed this the other day. I know Doros would be delighted that the "goals of the proletariat are meeting full", but what do you think of this?

You don't have to be white to have European in you,
We must remember that white is not a 'color' but rather a 'condition of political and economic access in comparison to other peoples. More specifically oppressed minorities in White Settler States'.
While European and White are typically homogenous due to the fact of Europeans of Western European orientation and origin setting up and populating these white settler states - typically there can be a 'No'.
For example - the Irish and Eastern European immigrants in America were not white up until their (USA) need to use these peoples as fodder both to make sure that there would be NO legitimate threat posed by the African American population and to create a new-Labour Aristocracy that would remove the final elements of the slavocracy civilization the South had set up. (Har har, pseudo-Romans)
They then 'became' White. Case in point - could you name one example that the US decided to stop or halt any assaults on chinese settlements both before and after the Chinese Exclusion Act(s)?
Likely there was no halting, there was reporting. Reporting on making the chinese immigrants look like Opium Lords whom took innocent white females into harems and made them into sex-slave. (oh-so ironic for the US did this to apache females they captured. Derp de derp)

Maybe my sense of humor doesn't translate well online, sometimes..
