Essentially, yes.

We need to make better communities that aren't so proud of censorship and selectively enforcing rules.

Freedom of speech is important.

It wasn't "intended to be rewritten," but it was meant to be changed.

Your wording makes it seem like we should scrap the whole thing and start from scratch after X years.

Instead, we should be making amendments to the constitution, such as "no citizen shall possess more than Y amount in assets while children go hungry. Any excessive assets will be seized immediately and redistributed to those most in need."

How does this benefit American citizens?

I'd say the world leaders already know what's going to happen and the last people to find out will be the soldiers on the ground.

Sure would suck to die or be maimed the day before your country surrenders even though it knew it was going to surrender for awhile.

I always love seeing influential shitbags get their just desserts.

If they don't care about their rules then neither should we.

I feel the same way about lemmy moderators that pick and choose who to enforce their rules on.

It's all Jim Crow in the end and should be respected as such.

I think as time goes on, we'll find that Japanese culture is not nearly as compatible with the West as we once thought.

 

In Runescape, if you abuse the report function to try and punish a player that isn't breaking any rules, you're the one who's punished instead.

It's a great system that causes people to think before they hit report.

Most other services don't do this, and it results in 'dogpiling' reports. This means that people will report someone because they disagree or don't like them, and if enough people do that then the mods will ban that person "just because."

Are there any lemmy communities that try to combat this nonsense by penalizing those who abuse the report system?

I'd love to see the scumbags who try to use censorship to support their own agenda get a taste of their own medicine.

It feels like people don't try to figure out information others don't want them to know anymore.

Looking at world events and how much information is being censored from us, it's surprising how little effort is being put into identifying and documenting that censorship.

Even hearing about the 'Streisand Effect' seems like something the censors don't want to happen.
