Coming soon to a Truth Social post near you:
“He the people…”
I the king ?
Elon I, the Musk.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Babe wake up, new pronouns just dropped
https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Constitution_of_the_United_States_of_America
Never realized that the first sentence was so long
Read Moby dick it has sentences as long as half a page with 5-8 commas, 3-4 semi colons, and few real colons.
A roman senator is running late to an important senate meeting. He arrives 15 minutes late and enters to see each seat filled, with the exception of his own, and Cicero standing in the middle of the room giving a speech.
He manages to stealthily make his way to his seat without causing too much of a commotion and leans over to the senator next to him, asking in a hushed tone, “Hey, what’s Cicero talking about?”
The other senator simply shrugs and whispers back, “I don’t know, he hasn’t gotten to the verb yet”
What is the first word and which is the constitution?
“We the people…”
Ah the USA constitution. In the german one, its an article as the first word, excluding numbers and symbols. “DIE Würde des Menschen ist unantastbar.” But technically germany has no constitution but only a basic law
Of course the German “constitution” starts off telling you to die /s
Well, it’s the only thing people will reliably do. Each and every last of us.
Happy weekend, I guess.
Yeah sorry, this meme struck me as very steeped in current American politics (not sure if this same nonsense is happening elsewhere) so I didn’t think about other constitutions.
you keep talking like that and soon it will be your state constitution.
If you don’t want to bother with individualized pronoun choices, just don’t. It’s that simple. But if your problem is you don’t want them to exist in the world, well that’s a lot more complicated.
Guns?
All down to bigotry of course. For fun, try earnestly writing in absence of pronouns. Perhaps a bit more challenging than expected!
If you ignore all the headings and contents pages, I think it’s “whereas”… So what’s your point? Whereas isn’t a pronoun.
There are no headers before this. The “we the people” is actually quite large too
Which constitution is this? It’s not our one.
The US constitution. Thought it said US in the post itself, but I suppose it technically didn’t clarify
In any case, they more than 99% likely mean the US constitution given how US-centric social media is, and how the US constitution’s start of “we the people” is fairly well known in the US
How many Americans know the first few words of the Australian constitution? Not many. So they can’t expect me to know theirs
Knowing the wording of the US constitution is absolutely not required for guessing that its about that one.
How would one guess? Only americans are arrogant enough to assume the whole internet is american?
I dont think youre as ignorant as youre pretending to be
How am I meant to know about every other country’s constitution?
Sure, not knowing it’s the US constitution is reasonable if not from the US
However, I think one could take a reasonable guess that if the first word of a constitution wasn’t a pronoun, this post probably wasn’t about that specific constitution
Its not reasonable, theyre trolling. It couldnt have been clearer.
They’re obviously being facetious but it absolutely could have been clearer.
Lol “it’s unreasonable for foreigners to not know the text of our constitution!”.
American stereotype.
Why would someone post something like OP without stating what constitution it is? Do they expect only americans to read it? Maybe keep your american jokes in american specific communities.
They mean the Australian Constitution. I’ll make sure I intentionally misunderstand when the fascists come for Australia next.
What country are they taking about if not Australia? Do other countries even have constitutions?
you keep talking like that and it’s going to become your state constitution.
The constitution doesn’t have a contents page. It was written in the 18th century on a parchment.
The first thing in the constitution is the preamble, and the first word of the preamble is a pronoun.
Incorrect. Learn a thing or two before you post online. https://www.aph.gov.au/constitution
Had me in the first half, I ain’t gonna lie
