Re: <nettime> what exactly is breaking?

There is a lot there on re. what exactly is breaking? but to be brief on 
this from Molly:

well, there is a large 'ghost' population here who work but who have
no such rights per se (in some regions 90% of the labour force in
particular the agricultural industry). In this corona pandemic, this
labour force has been under great pressure to keep the supplies to the
northern supermarkets going.

However on filming, it seems that the US 2nd Amendment with the 
constitutional right to bear arms in civil space with all its homicidal 
consequences has then some correlation to the right to bear cameras in 
civil space  - but this argument would require some work. Equally on the 
express right to form militias within the US constitution - given the 
"open" space we are in now when as Dan W says on Trump,

I think it's worth re-stating, re possible breaks with established
patterns for new ones to emerge across the continental shelf,
that the US Republican constitution prefigures the European or
the French Republican constitution (not the other way round as in
popular imagination) and remains dependent on colonial predation and
expansion.
