    I don’t like it because USAmericans think they’re special because their constitution talks about liberty, as if every other country’s constitution says ”yeah, tyranny for us please, liberty sucks”.

    Just tell them the DPRK constitution says every citizen has equal rights troll

      I mean I’ll just leave the argument if a lib comes to a “liberty” for all point. I don’t doubt the DPRK says it in their constitution, but I also don’t doubt that Saudi Arabia and England and Ukraine probably also have empty platitudes about liberty. End of the day it doesn’t further any political agenda or talking points, it’s like saying “we aren’t treated fair, let’s change things!” Without expressing WHAT those things are that are unfair and HOW they would go about fixing society

      DPRK constitution says every citizen has equal rights

      For what it’s worth, the US constitution does not actually say this — even the Fourteenth Amendment doesn’t go that far. That’s why US states can get away with depriving felons the right to vote — it never guaranteed that right.
