      I really struggle to understand why Americans are proud that they have never updated their constitution in 200 years. It’s a bug, not a feature.

        This comment should win an award for its confident stupidity. Google “constitutional amendments”.

        As an American, same. Except for the original reason behind freedom of speech and a few other things protecting the people, we need a lot of updates. A lot of updates.

            1. And maybe that’s not enough, probably it isn’t, I can think of a few things I’d add. But it’s hilarious to see so many people up voting actual ignorance because “USA bad”. Like there’s not plenty of accurate criticisms to be made.

              Maybe it’s just my lemmy app (jerboa ftw) but I like how your post got read as a markdown list item, like this is the 27th thing you had to say on the topic but the other 26 got deleted.

                Does it for me in jerboa too lol. I thought about editing it and trying to escape that but I decided I didn’t care.
