Isn't the US constitution the first written constitution in the world? (besides the 10 commandments, if that counts) It may look outdated today, but it was a great legal innovation at the time and influenced world history up to today.

They read a lot of history, particularly the english civil war, the roman civil wars. They were aware of the limitations of democracy and the vulnerability to demagogues, but they still thought it was superior to monarchy, "if you can keep it".

Unless it is used to pretend that it is a real video and circulated for denigration or blackmail, it is very much not at all like assault. And also, deepfakes do not have the special features hidden under your clothes, so it is possible to debunk those if you really have to.

Yeah, I guess, the EU seems to be holding, at least for now.

It's fascism:

"Everything for the state, nothing against the state."

"Everything he did, he did out of love for his country."

Bonus: "If only the tsar knew". This one is not exclusively fascist, but usually something similar is invoked by some older people in former fascist countries who claim that their dear leader did not know what was being done in his name. And russia today too.

30% of those affected probably don't even believe in modern healthcare e.g. their patron saint RFKjr

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_stamp_(politics)

One of the most famous examples of a rubber stamp institution is the Reichstag of Nazi Germany, which unanimously confirmed all decisions already made by Adolf Hitler and the highest-ranking members of the Nazi Party.[citation needed] Many legislatures of authoritarian and totalitarian countries are considered[by whom?] as rubber stamps, such as communist parliaments like the Chinese National People's Congress,[3][4][5] or the Italian Chamber of Fasces and Corporations during the Fascist regime.[citation needed]

Since the 2003 elections, Russia's Federal Assembly has been similarly referred to as a rubber stamp institution.[6][7][8] Russia's State Duma (the lower house of the Federal Assembly) quickly adopted a number of laws proposed by the government without delay.[9] The annexation of Crimea was quickly approved in 2014 with only one deputy, Ilya Ponomarev, voting against.[10][11] During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the legislative approvals of the annexation of occupied territories in late 2022 did not meet any resistance, giving the government full control.[12]

Other suggested examples of rubber stamp legislatures include:

Historic legislatures

Reichstag – Nazi Germany

Chamber of Deputies, Chamber of Fasces and Corporations – Fascist Italy (1925 – 1943)

General Assembly – Ottoman Empire

Congress of Soviets, Supreme Soviet – Soviet Union

Volkskammer – German Democratic Republic[13]

National Consultative Assembly – Imperial State of Iran[14][better source needed]

Federal Senate – Brazil under military dictatorship between 1977 and 1985[15]

People's Assembly – Syrian Arab Republic[16][17][18][19]

Current legislatures

Federal Assembly – Russia[6][7][8][12]

Parliament – Egypt[20][21][22]

Islamic Consultative Assembly and the Assembly of Experts (not a parliamentary chamber but a deliberative body) – Iran

Supreme People's Assembly – North Korea[25]

National People's Congress – China[a]
