  • They ruled that people acting together have all the same rights that they would have acting individually

    Bullshit, corporations are not “people acting together”, they’re autocratic command structures where one or few people hold all the power.

    preventing someone from spending money on producing and promoting their speech effectively prevents them from being heard

    Also total bullshit, unless you agree that allowing people to be poor is a violation of the first amendment, because being poor effectively prevents them from being heard. Which you won’t.

    Which are both perfectly true, common-sense statements

    I’m already confident you don’t have a single ounce of common sense in your empty head after reading those two sentences.

    CU vs FEC was specifically about campaign financing, but yeah basically ruled that organizations like corporations are protected by 1A, and money counts as free speech.

    Which is obviously bullshit on every level, but just one way that a SCOTUS with a few corrupt individuals can destroy democracy for an entire country.






  • And yet, causality is preserved, and there is a clear specific mathematical relationship between the two frames of reference.

    So you will measure differently, but as soon as you do the math to account for your different frames of reference, you will again have the same measurements. Of course, we know there is an objective mathematical relationship between the two frames of reference, because the speed of light is constant.

    I’m a little amused that in the comic both viewers are correct relative to their frame of reference. An extremely powerful concept that significantly advanced physics and about which famous people are household names.

    You accidentally made the wrong point, because Einstein’s breakthrough of special relativity was that the speed of light is constant regardless of reference frame.

    So if two people with different frames of reference are measuring the speed of light differently, at least one of them is objectively wrong.
