Sharing my own work here. Around 14,000 words. Third in a Civic Series following pamphlets on Article V and the national canon. Argument in one sentence: the wealth-gap architecture, the prison-labor extraction, and the theological inheritance of American slavery are one continuous debt with a documentary record, defensibly ranged at $14T to $35T+, and the affirmative case has to be made anyway inside the current political wilderness. Structure: Part I personal anchor (my grandfather's GI Bill inclusion versus Black veteran exclusion), Parts II-III the historical and theological ledger, Parts IV-V the wilderness diagnosis (HR 40, the 2025 EOs, the UN resolution), Part VI implementation through institutional rather than transfer-only architecture. Welcome critique on the methodology, the ranging, or the implementation argument. submitted by /u/7457431095 [link] [comments]
