I wanted to share this rant which was sparked because of some anti abortion thing that got lots of replies.

Many of the replies opted to have the right to abortion written into the constitution and call it a day.

Your constitution does not, in any way, actually protect you from evil intentions. Hitler wasn’t stopped by laws and he killed millions of people eventually. You have to actively recognize the danger and organize to crush it.

    If the current Trump administration (or as you say the German Nazi government) has shown anything, it’s that a piece of paper that says “you can’t do that” is completely worthless.

      Yup, if the masses aren’t prepared to rise up directly with force AND/OR the institutions built to enforce the letter of the law won’t actually do so IN GOOD FAITH (see the amount of absolutely shit takes from 5-4 majorities of the Supreme Court of years past, thanks 5-4 pod) that paper is worth less than a roll of TP in times of excess.
