Melllvar@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Are you permanently banned off reddit? or do you just like lemmy more?English11·9 days agoI left during the API kerfuffle even though I didn’t use an app. I had been thinking about getting off of it for some time prior to that because I realized doomscrolling was negatively affecting my mental health. So I followed the refugees from

to startrek.website.
Melllvar@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If United States invaded Greenland, would the other NATO countries be obliged to defend it?English36·11 days agoArticle 5 doesn’t oblige members to take any particular action.

Melllvar@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What would the implications of a US constitutional amendment excluding corporations as persons and the constitutional rights that affords them?English13·4 months agoMany different kinds of organizations are organized as corporations. Charities, newspapers, churches, etc. If the amendment was not carefully written, it could be construed to deny important rights, such as press freedom or religious freedom, to organizations that really ought to be protected. Similarly, the protections against unwarranted search and seizure or taking of property for pubic use without compensation should probably continue to cover corporations.
Really, the only problem I see WRT corporations having constitutional rights is the decision that political spending is protected speech. The other constitutional rights are generally not problematic.
So maybe something like this:
-
No person, whether natural born human or legal fiction, shall spend, donate, or otherwise make valuable contributions to any candidate or campaign, if said person is not entitled to vote in the election for such candidate or campaign.
-
Only natural born human beings shall be entitled to vote in any election.

Each teaching has to be evaluated on its own merits, its basis in reality, and its effect on the child and how they relate to others. Whether it’s religious in origin is ultimately beside the point.
