I think my meaning of unconstitutional carries all the weight it needs. A government not serving its people, especially knowingly, is not a valid government, and isn't making valid laws.
- saidajigumi 14y agoHandwaving, much? There's no universal and objective measurement for "government not serving its people." If there were, many problems of government and politics would be a heck of a lot easier. I don't disagree with the sentiments about the badness of the DMCA, but it doesn't help anyone to trivialize the practical difficulties in establishing a well-functioning government.
- wnight 14y agoThere are many universal standards for a government not serving its people. Literally uncountably many. So yes, you're technically right that there is no one standard. I don't mean to trivialize anything. But government starts with the consent of the governed. It's cool, sort of, that you feel you consent to this. But I don't. It's not that it isn't good enough soon enough, it's that we reward treacherous behavior so the system is never going to work for the people.
