   @ChristiJunior Basically this. The Constitution is just whatever leftists want. The Constitution forbids gun grabbing but doesn't mention abortion, yet to them gun grabbing is perfectly Constitutional and banning abortion isn't.
   
   They argue like women (in spite of so many of them being "men"); they learn the polarity of words and then apply them accordingly depending on if you do what they want. If you do what they want it's good words (constitutional) and if you do anything else it's bad words (unconstitutional).
   
   This has led to tons of memes to the effect of: "Fascism is when you don't have gay buttsex." (Because to them, that is what it amounts to, really)

     @John-Pleroma And, let me guess, you think we should implement something more akin to Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany. Right?

     @NEETzsche @ChristiJunior @Svantovit The constitution was written to govern an 1800s wilderness frontier that no longer exists. However well designed for that century it might have been, that's not the world we live in anymore.

     @NEETzsche @ChristiJunior @Svantovit No his vision was already outdated too by the time he implemented it and it's even more outdated now.

     @John-Pleroma Sorry for coming off as dismissive at first; I'm used to rightoid fedi being full of people who insist that I take the jew pill and listen to their podcast where they just say "nigger" 1488 times in an hour, and that anything short of this is secretly kiked.

     Unironically based take that everything in the last like 100 years has been outdated. I've had very similar ones, actually, that the movement we need today is much more specific to the needs of the present. I also added in that I think most of the ideological analysis of it will amount to post hoc rationalization: what will the history books, assuming they're written honestly, say the Pepe-Wojak populist, terminally online rightoid movement was really about? In the meantime, we should just do what works for us on an ad hoc basis and make no apology for that.

     @John-Pleroma I actually disagree, kind of. It's because I see the powers that be transitioning from soft power into hard power. It's no longer "we are legitimate because our institutions are valid and correct" and "we are legitimate because we control the institutions that decide your fate." I'm loathe to use the word "legitimacy," because it implies there's more backing behind it than raw force, but they've managed to mix moral confidence with naked appeals to force. It's kind of bizarre. It actually reminds me to quasi-fictional portrayals of autocrats in antiquity: "I am the God-Emperor," etc. People perceive naked force with some very crude aesthetic panache as "legitimate" when they've been dumbed down enough.

     @NEETzsche @ChristiJunior @Svantovit 20th century germany was an example of mass media power in the hands of a rival state, and the internet stuff going on today in the 21st is a similar situation. Without an info monopoly the western empire can't maintain its legitimacy.
