[DISCARDED] In the Land of the Free

Postby Jutsa » Mon Jul 12, 2021 5:57 am

I started a US history course. Boy truth is stranger than fiction. (It really puts my last-submitted "radical capitalism" draft into perspective.)

Title: In the Land of the Free
The Issue: A strike at National @@MAJORINDUSTRY@@ in @@ANIMAL@@ City was met with gunfire from the company's private militia last week, resulting in the employees bombing the property and causing millions in damages.
Validity: Super-Capitalism, Guns

Option 1: "This has gone way too far," says CEO of National @@MAJORINDUSTRY@@, putting his feet up on a low-wage worker. "The government's law enforcement needs to protect our managers and property from these rebellious anarchists." @@HE@@ has another servant throw an envelope onto your desk. "For the sake of freedom!"
[effect] companies just can't seem to find good help these days

Option 2: "What about our right to protest?" asks Terence Gronlund, suspected to be the anarchist responsible for the grenade thrown at @@ANIMAL@@market Square. "Do we not have the right to equality, the right to the police's protection from the upper class? Ban corporate militias!" He slips the envelope into his jacket. "For the sake of equality!"
[effect] bombs bursting mid-air are relatively common

Validity: Does not have compulsory gun ownership
Option 3: "The issue here is guns," says gun control activist @@RANDOMNAME@@, welcoming moans from across the room. "No, not guns themselves; we need those. It's the distribution! If the employees stood a fighting chance, there'd have been less death and less property damage! Probably. Make every person carry a gun on them at all times, and you'll have freedom and equality!"
[effect] children are given grenades for Maxmas

Option 4: "The government has no place in politics!" yells a shoe shop CEO in a crisp, black suit from outside your office window. "Disband the police force! Let every man fight for himself!"
[effect] private companies protect government buildings for the right legislation


[size=200]NOTE TO SELF: DO YOU WANT FRIES WITH THAT? ALREADY COVERS THIS ISSUE. PLEASE EITHER DITCH THIS OR WORK ON A FOLLOWUP INSTEAD.

Option 4 seems a bit short.
And now my life has changed in oh so many ways
My independence seems to vanish in the haze

Don't worry, it's a Jennifer Government reference. :P
