I again have a bad feeling this may be. a tech induced problem, because they ask for a return for 04.2025, but their interface only allows filing for 03.2025 and 06.2025 🧘

...but the notions of "this land is mine", "it's been decided for you", "your duty", and "we came first" do persist, as do the tropes of heroism, sacrifice for the greater cause, treason, &c. Putin and Trump are maybe the logical conclusions of such line of thought which sees imposition of one's will as something that could be "legitimate", rather than an exceptional act of violence (undesirable if unavoidable). The Democrats and the EU are more about exercising in edging.

It's about what was *not* in the document. So unless we're talking about a hypothetical Constitution-to-be opening with "We are not a nation", I'd stick to "not about the contents"

Many, if not most, do.

Comrades reasoning in the same shared fundamental "community values". Perfectly symmetric, orderly like a Constitution, mesmorizing like a fractal.

That's exactly the thing about building Nations: your use of passive voice is telling. Ridden with commitees, processes, and your praying vertukhai-"chaplains", this Harry Potter-Wickerman fantasy might indeed produce a "force", not too unlike Manson's. Built on acceptance of "the higher-ups' choice", it will be a force highly oppresive to all creativity

All "#law" is illegitimate and an usurpation. Men cannot create law. Voting cannot create law. Voting is merely a tool for a group to attain consensus. A group may agree on a rule. A group may agree to wage war against other individuals to "enforce the rule", which does not make a law. There can only be moral law, the kind of law that each individual arrives at on their own, chooses for themselves
