I constantly see that the current US Supreme Court makes inconstitucional rulings like for example, allowing racial profiling.

For what little I’ve gathered due to separation of powers. The supreme court is just a designated authority. Why hasn’t there been any movement that just aims to de-legitimize the current supreme Court?

Why can’t a judge say “I denounce the Supreme courts authority for their failing to uphold the spirit of the law and now I shall follow this other courts rulings”?

    I think that not forming some sort of effective resistance constitutes complicity

    To some degree, sure. But then you might as well say the same of Ukrainians living in occupied Russian territory. “Oh, you should have just fought harder” is more a cavalier one-liner than a political perspective.

    I think we’re witnessing a certain amount of survivorship bias. The folks who are “complicit” are often just the people remaining after rebellious groups were quashed or driven away.

      that’s a hard point i’ll give you that one, that’s a stumper. it’s a bit of a caricature, but it’s also a reasonable reflection of my position. i really do think people need to stand up and fight but i’ll be goddamned if I know what that even begins to look like here, let alone how to tell people to start laying down their lives for a cause.
