That's not freedom my dude
they broke speed cameras and would go around breaking vehicle clamps
Freedom isnt always getting the boot
And screaming about it
Last I checked they cant stop oppressing themselves
they were one of the first western countries to overthrow monarchic rule
Remember France and Germany for that matter are both supportive are reasonably strict Hate Speech laws which don't really make them that free
they were a start of religious unshackling
You can a free country with a Monarchy
Also france and germany are basically the same thing
point is, they dont like authority
The UK was quite free as a partial monarchy for quite a while
Very recently it went to fuck
the UK has a tidy basis with traditions
cultural traditions
for imagary sake at least#
which is different to a tradition of a collective people like the germans
and different from overthrowing power like the french
It breaks when our non codified constitution comes to question
which it needs be redone
comes a point where getting a new car is better than fixing up the old one
Our system still works? We just need to put hard upper limits I believe
which is what we';ve been doing with muddling through for years
This is what we do as humans dude
We build on top of things
We need to put restrictions on the gov
And remind them we are the soviergns
The Constitution is far too old to be really compatible in the modern day
It would be much easier to create a new US style one
we've been doing stuff for 1000 years and patching it up as we go
I dont know dude
Which clearly clarifies everything
The traditions and precedents are still good
comes a time when you should go full america and say right, lets revise from the bottom up
rather than little bit here, little bit there
The US has it's own problems
still would end up with the same general thing, it would just be easier and more straight forward and refined
You cant go around flipping the table on everything every so often
It would be, most of the autistic easy jokes about america are easily responded to with: America is young and hasn't figured that out yet
We need upper limits, non modifiable unless by like 10 years of debates
