"still legal"

Since when has that ever mattered? Remember, the first unions and labor strikes weren't legal but that didn't stop them. They didn't become legal until we forced the State to meet us on equal terms.

Also, the Constitution doesn't matter anymore and crime is legal

Never mattered in the first place. It's just a piece of paper with scribbles on it made by people hundreds of years ago, ascribing to a culture with norms that we know today to have been incredibly regressive in their conception, who never could have imagined society as it currently exists. It's an outdated document that has sorely been needing to be replaced, wholesale not simply amended, which other countries do routinely. What matters is the ruling authority which governs the political entity that that piece of paper is supposed to represent and how they enforce their interpretation of what is scribbled on it.

Who holds the authority to dictate what is or isn't crime? Why do people respect or validate that authority with their compliance when it is so clearly oppression and restrictive? Cause where I'm standing, the ruling authority of this country is illegitimate and people need to be disobeying en masse. Their laws and documents which grant them their ruling authority be damned.
