RE: The Illusion of Legality

in #philosophy7 years ago

:) Thanks for discussing this. I feel like on the second point, it's more of the same though. Nothing is stopping that cop from taking a bribe or intervening on your behalf except their own morals and convictions. There's plenty of cops out there that would be just as likely to be the one breaking into your house and shooting you and claiming they thought you were the intruder. Probably get away with it too in many places. It's sad honestly, but if we spent as much time and money on teaching people about self awareness and morality as we do enslaving people, I think we'd be in a much different world. One where this whole post never even needed to happen. The worst thing about all of it is that people are just now really gaining any kind of awareness of how corrupt our political system really is and I still half way feel like that's being allowed as justification to "clamp down" on more freedom. If only the "good guys" were always "good guys" and the "bad guys" were always "bad guys" the world would be a much simpler place, but we're just all so complicated.

Sort:  

Our political and judicial system is absolutely horrible. Double standards left and right. Yeah you make a fair point about my second point. Could go any myriad of ways. Crooked law enforcement everywhere

Discussing it and raising awareness causes change :) @son-of-satire is getting a deep diver debate team together and I had recommended you. Sign up on his post if you want to join in, it's still in the "formulation" stages.

Cool. Sounds fun. Let me head on over and check that out. Thanks! !
