I urgently need pro/con arguments and impacts of the nov/dec PF debate resolution. any arguments??
leave them below pleaseeee
We've murdered 10 times as many Afghan children than we have lost Service Members. We allow our police unions to buy elections for judges so they can't be prosecuted for killing civilians. We make our children swear loyalty to our country everyday with mottos and songs. We pretend nuking Japan saved more lives than invading (arguing a hypothetical is stupid). We refuse to participate in the International Criminal Courts. We detained a Iranian scholar for 9 months to use as a bargaining chip. We experimented on our own citizens and inmates without their knowledge. We expose our people to poisons and deny knowledge or compensation unless absolutely made to. We refuse to participate in climate change actions. We have more black men in forced labor currently than all the slaves that ever lived here. We have been contributing to one of the worlds worst famines ever in Yemen. We bully the world with our economy. We fail to hold leaders (or anyone for that matter) accountable for obvious crimes. We allow people to bankrupt themselves in the hopes of regaining health We murder foreign leaders we don't get along with. We murdered thousands of women and children and gave people the Medal of Honor for doing so. This could go on indefinitely. I've become disillusioned. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to attack anyone or anything. It's just depressing and I'm not sure how I feel about it.

First and for most, I'm going to point out that this view is actually relatively unmotivated by specific politics. Of course investment is going to come from the government, but I want to make it absolutely clear that what I'm speaking about is beyond just political party A and political party B.
The United States, for all intents and purposes were a set of regulated territories that self-govern under a larger government's guidelines. This was put into place so that the states could protect their people and attend to their more specific needs while bigger/international problems could be handled by the federal government. All 50 of our states however, have become dependent on the federal government for guidance, and the Federal government has grown greedy when it comes to it's need for the states to rely on it.
I believe this is because the government, at some point, probably by accident, started to become more federally dependent. State governments have a duty to their people, they exist to fill the niche of the territory it inhabits--what works in Inflation-over-growth California won't work in Rustbelt Michigan, and what works in Fly-over South Dakota isn't gonna work in big-apple New York.
Lets take marijuana as an example: States lately have been legalizing marijuana, one of the few times they undermine federal law to pass rules that are specific to their own territories. Federally banning Marijuana never made any sense, and in doing so the over-arching US government has crippled potentially booming markets because it's considered drug trafficking to move cannabis over state lines--even to other legal states.
We also have to accept that culturally, the United States is not, and will not ever be homogeneous. I think when we fail to realize that states will never agree with each other, because fundamentally they all have different roots and infrastructure that sets up their foundation. That's fine. But when you apply sweeping rule changes across the whole country, it can isolate states and polarize them because they feel they can claim victim-hood for having their opinions stamped out.
Now, I guess my argument to be surmised as this:
When we give so much power to the federal government we are forgetting that the strength of the United States is that State Citizenship is akin to a liquid asset and it's one that gives the people the most power. If people don't like your state, they *will* leave. If they leave, your state's infrastructure crumbles. I

It seems strange that a group can literally organize the largest infiltration of the United States government, break several federal laws, have most of its leadership convicted, and then be allowed to not only grow, but expand and gain tax-exemption status.
