Constitution is kinda dead. What matters is SCOTUS precedent
Have we tried turning America off, waiting 10 seconds, and turning it back on again? I hear that fixes most things
@sigruna14 The States. Not “The Government”, as in Federal. The States must then have their own individual Constitution. And same rules apply there: they cannot grant themselves power by omission
States can constitutionally do anyting not explicitly forbidden
Or that SCOTUS has not forbidden since SCOTUS is as powerful as constitution
Let our ranks swell. It seems to be our only hope.
Article 1 Section 8 should be amended to remove the "general welfare" clause and move the ability to lay taxes to the end of the section and add the condition that taxes may only be raised directly to fund one of the foregoing powers.
That would, in theory, make a lot of federal overreach a lot harder. They'd have to amend the Constitution every time they wanted to pass some new law.
One day the Millennials will be in the Supreme Court.
God save us all.
Tbh i think USG is a dead horse. Real power was always in media and finance. We need to focus on building our financial and information network.
Money and information can sway a monarcy, much more a democracy
We just need to convince Elon Musk to build us a Starship. I'm telling you.
I'm half kidding but sort of not
@Perihelion - CA the states doing whatever they wanted, not expressly permitted or restricted by the constitution is what started the civil war. Lincoln won that argument. “No, you can’t. And we’ll stop it.”
So trve
Yeah he stopped it but only proved constitution was dead paper
Agreed
Parrallel society powered by distributed ledger is an intriguing assymtric strategy.
The basic law of war is never play the game your enemy wants to play
Any time your enemy achieves hegemony completely change the game
"Donald Trump was running for president as a publicity stunt and never planned on winning the election"
"Donald Trump colluded with Russia in order to win the election."
Jussie Smollett scriptwriter confirmed 😂🤣😂
Second one is the one i meant to link but first one is good read too
In past wars were over concrete resources. Now culture wars are over abstract values and virtual spaces.
Systematic trolling is an example of neo-barbarism
By constantly changing strategies we can raise cost of maintaining their system toward infinity until theyre forced to abandon their core values
Or we can establish hegemony over a new domain and force them to fight on our prepared terrain
He didn’t want to win at all, but he colluded to ensure he’d win ☺️

@Virgil except for the red hair he kind of looks Roman
People make jokes about the size of Charlie Kirk's head, I finally see it. Man, that thing is huge.
Wow burning women and kids alive is so honorable
