“A person is smart. People are dumb, dangerous, panicky animals…” -Agent K, MIB

I think I’ve been quite the opposite of warm and fuzzy about it…

As I said, I understand just fine. I’m just not willing to hand-wave away the unforgivable parts of our original constitution just so we can all feel warm and fuzzy about it.

You’re giving me the same line that always gets trotted out to defend historical bullshit. I understand the argument, I’ve heard it before, and I don’t buy it. In the modern day (where we live and are conversing) the constitution has a history of blatant human rights violations. We should recognize and acknowledge that, not excuse it for being “from a different time.”

That’s great, I’ll be sure to keep that in mind next time I time travel to the year 1788 for a political discussion.

You were a good constitution

Was it though? It institutionalized slavery for nearly a century, was blatantly sexist for well over a century, and enshrined a majoritarian system that created the political duopoly that has plagued the US since its inception.

SLAMMED

They’re looking for a “fuck you” to the US government more than they’re looking for a new social media. Maybe it will stick as a popular platform, but I suspect it was chosen more for its name and ties to the CCP than any actual features.
