All of this stuff you are talking about is a bunch of magic paper the ruling elite tricked us all into believing actually means something.
Law, rules, regulations, it all means nothing in the face of power. It's a LARP.
We need to shake ourselves out of our fantastical daydream and start building a real people-powered movement. Our only strength is in our numbers.
Institutions are against us. They are the tools of our oppressors. Wake up.
People who want to overthrow a flawed system instead of reforming are the same sort of people who throw away anything at the slightest sign of imperfection. When will you realize that perfection is subjective and that what you are really doing is appealing to your own definition of what qualifies as a "real people-powered movement".
Funny how you seem to spout the same thing Trump believes. Seems to me the problem is the people treating it as just LARP. Get back to me when you have something more than one liners to replace the libraries full of laws, rules, and regulations you want to throw away. Meanwhile, reforming a flawed system is a more realistic system than a way of thinking infamous for generally devolving into authoritarian regimes and failed states.
Wake up, you are the other side of the same coin propping up Trump.
No, you don't get it. I wish the laws exist, but they don't. This situation is more desperate than you want to believe.
I don't want to throw anything away, I just want you to realise that the comfort and security you feel from being a nation of laws is an illusion, if it ever held any, it's all gone now.
You are witnessing the rise of the new Nazi state.
