Laws have created an environment that makes it facially difficult to lay blame. Technology has made it easier and faster and safer to conspire. Police were created to catch slaves and they’re culturally incapable of doing any more than that. Imagine Joe average local cop trying to go undercover at McKinsey. Done laughing? What about the fbi you ask? They’re just as bad as local police but think and act like they’re better. Other regulatory agencies either have been entirely corrupted and co-opted or they’ve been neutered or will be soon by this law making body we formerly called the Supreme Court.

People crave Justice. Vigilantes do not create Justice. Thus harming people harming society without due process is unjust. The founding fathers and other visionaries like Malcolm X and MlK have written more on this topic but personally I find it a too boring to have read into. Look at the Arab spring for a recent successful reactionary rights movement that was not started by a massacre and look to China for the leading edge of suppressing dissent. The champions of advancing human rights are largely not cold blooded killers whereas those suppressing such movements must regress to these tactics to maintain their hard and soft power.



If you disagree I wish you’d bother to tell me why so I can learn from you.
