If you ever feel like what you are doing is meaningless, remember that there is someone in a BMW factory installing indicators.
They will be indispensable for documenting, for historians, what it was like when the United States still had law.
We don’t need historians. We need people who are willing to risk their career to put up a fight. Documenting is just a word for being a bystander and let it happen.
If they also aren’t “discarded.”
oh honey, you, um… that…
who wants to tell them? I can’t.
I look forward all of this scholars writing “Rule-of-Law” fanfiction where the protagonists and antagonists live and interact in a society with a system of mostly reasonable laws and law enforcement. Definitely now categorized as Speculative Fiction.
Lol I see all those “honor codes” in movies and TV and I’m like… why doesn’t the villian just ignore it? Like… just sneak attack against the protagonist, fuck the rules lol. If they are dead, there’s no one to report you for breaking the rules anyways.
🤣
Not everyone will be dead, because the villain himself lives and when he breaks the honor code he will be ashamed of himself for his hole life, always haunted by the memories of his disgrace and his lack of honor. Or any other bullshit explanation like that…
Yeah, the evil villain should be evil and ignore all the honor code rules.
Ive been wondering what the difference is between an executive that ignores court orders and acts counter to congressional laws and martial law.
Martial law would probably allow stricter control of the internet… so Americans like me probably wouldn’t be able to use Lemmy.
(And I’d probably also end up getting summarily executed by the American Gestapo/SS, since… I’m not white… 😖)
Martial law generally has legal mechanisms in place to provide some limitations to duration etc.
In other words, it would be an improvement over what is currently happening.
Amount of police/national guard troops, maybe?
Something serious is being implied here… Not sure what to make of it tho🤔
That the concept of three branches of government keeping each other in check fails miserably when one branch has no way to constrain the other, or willingly abdicates their responsibility.

Those among them lacking in morals would make bank (or influence, whatever is afforded to them) justifying that government’s actions according to US constitutional law.
That’s seems pretty meaningful
Although I here constitutional rights have fallen out of favor for the last few decades.
And most of them will be millionaires by 2029
I worry they’ll be trillionaires and everyone else will be the millionaires, carting our wheelbarrows full of useless dollars around
