    I mean sure? The constitution is pretty clear on the subject. And I’m sure this current administration would love to have some even more recent case law on the books. And if they do overturn it, we can always look to France for how to best handle the situation.

      Hearing it at all is a joke, and the lawyers arguing it should be disbarred.

      That said

      names themselves after a conspiracy theorist

      puts either a Nazi dogwhistle or an unoriginal yet personally identifying mark in their username

      You see how this is even worse right

        /> Poster makes a progressive remark in support of historically marginalized groups
        /> Poster suggests rioting if the constitution is overturned
        /> Agrees with poster
        /> Call them a Nazi anyway

        Oh Lemmy, never change :P

          I also said you might just be unoriginal and insufficiently paranoid while knowingly giving Nazis smokescreens.

        88 is a number, which in a username, often denotes the birth year of the individual.

        Can we stop usurping two-digit numbers and pretending they have magical meanings? Otherwise, we’re going to just have to throw out the whole Arabic numerical system, because every combination now has some other special meaning.

          What kind of bot-brained “it’s just a word” bullshit is this? It’s not any number, it’s that specific number combined with a stereotype of conspiracy theorist who specifically believes in that kind of hidden messaging… And uses it himself.

          Further, it’s Lemmy. You don’t need usernumbers, that was a deliberate choice.

      Small problem: If the past decade is any indication, your average American has about 0.000001% as much spine as your average French.

    The next step will be empowering the President and his officials to remove citizenship from ANYONE, including native-born Americans - and I’m specifically including native Americans. They’ll sell us as slaves to dictators overseas.
