The nukes will fall before they give up power.
reply"the law" has always only been the whims of the powerful aa a threat of violence against the powerless if they don't follow
replyEverything bends to power, by definition. And laws can’t be impartial because they’re not based in hard science: terms like “murder”, “assault”, “theft”, etc. are ambiguous thus up to interpretation (e.g. is a scam theft? If so, what defines a scam? If “lying”, what’s the difference from “misleading”, or if there’s no difference, what defines “misleading”…)
replyMy best idea for a solution is better education, so people don’t make bad laws then badly enforce them.
Right problem, wrong solution. You can't build something that doesn't bend to power, by definition. You have to take away the power.
replyPower can only be redistributed.
replyEducation also bends to power (people can be “educated” via propaganda), but it’s harder because people have some level of critical thinking. You can only chain so many lies before they contradict each other or live experience.
