Laws are created to keep peasants in check. While the people who created the laws break all of them.
They keep claiming all immigrants are dangerous criminals, while not being at all concerned that a dangerous criminal is in charge of the government
The immigrants are a scapegoat. “They are the source of your problems not us the government”. This tactic is nothing new. Some immigrants are indeed gang members but it’s a small percentage. Honestly though I think people are obsessed with Trump on a positive and negative perspective. This is also working great at keeping the population focused on themselves as the enemy instead of the corrupt government. The same gov that was corrupt during Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump, and biden. I’m hoping the American people get this soon or they are done for
I think it’ll take a collapse of America and complete restructuring of the government to fix things
I agree, only because the American people are weak (although ironically aggressive) people. They have contempt for their government but they listen to them wholeheartly - with complaints here and there of course. I actually hope the collapse is sooner than later. This has gone on for long enough
Well yeah. Everything we do in society from laws to customs to fads are just made up things we go with. Thats what makes religious folks to tend toward nuttiness as it can often go down the path of. So and so rule came from GOD!!!
Absolutely and that is what makes what Trump is doing so fucking dangerous. He is actively undermining the US government, once the vast majority of people no longer believe in the government it wont be.
Yea, laws are made up. So is currency, boarders, sovereignty, human rights, and democracy. Made up things are consequential.

All those things operate on Tinkerbell logic:
currency, boarders, sovereignty, human rights, and democracy
They can all be thrown away in an instance if people (for whatever reason) don’t fight for them.
There will always be people who fight against those things, and people that don’t give a fuck too. But we always have to have enough willing to fight for them, the % necessary just fluctuates.
Seashells used to be currency
All it takes is one other person and you can bring it back.
I’d wager to bet that every single day, someone trades a seashell for something.
And I like being pedantic, so I’d say that seashells are actively currency.
Because that’s really all it takes.
If she sells sea shells, what do you buy them with?
Sexual favors
Identity too! That’s like the most important one I think. A lot of our worst behavior is in service of these completely made up identities which none-the-less help us secure access to resources.
I heard someone talking about how a lot of our rituals are these imaginary actions we take to reify these imaginary but vital institutions like identities and nation states.
Exacly this, all of pur societally functioning things are based on our exceptance of enforcing rules upon purselves. Without laws, you can’t have human rights.
“Laws are a threat made by the dominant socioeconomic ethnic group in a given nation. It’s just the promise of violence that’s enacted, and the police are basically an occupying army, you know what I mean?”
There are laws. We made them up.
Congratulations, you have discovered the starting point of anarchist philosophy. Please, read further. It’s good stuff.
I mean, we did make them up. 🤷🏻♂️
There’s no law of gravity, it’s just curved spacetime! *jumps off a cliff
There are no stories! We made them all up!
There is no property! They made the whole thing up!
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law
will not hold up in court
There are many social constructs that govern our lives
Duh
