The law is fake. Justice is fake. These are ideas pushed on us to maintain the monopoly on violence of the state
More and more, I become convinced in the law of consequences. I think, morally and pragmatically, that her actions were reasonable and a net benefit to society. I think most people would agree with that on some level
At some point you have to ask… What’s the value of the law? Why defend it in this case?
Explicit rules are nice to tell people what they can get away with. On a deeper level, we have to decide what’s right and wrong as a society.
And that’s a blurry line no one should be getting near
Life is NOT valued in our society. Justice is not valued in our society. Power (=Money) is.
It is completely acceptable to kill hundreds of thousands for a legal war, the legal declaration that a pandemic is over that truly isn’t, or via laws that allow corperations to pollute the local environment with many delayed deaths to follow. Legality is shaped by those who hold power. Just look at what’s “legal” in the US right now.
As a parent, friend to a judge (so I’ve heard the inside scoop) and after some 40+ years in this system, I applaud Vigilantism. #luigi

Thank you. Came here just to say this.
