      Are you hoping the military itself enforces that? Or the cops who already let ice murder people in the streets? Or what? McDonald’s employees?

        That is the bis American problem. You’ve got mostly good laws, but nobody seems to follow them anymore. A kind of anarchy, but from the top instead from the bottom.

          No. No we do not. I mean for Hell’s sake we incarcerate way now individuals per capita than any other nation in the planet.

          Or so called justice system is fucking horseshit.

            I’m not talking about application. But the ideas behind them are OK. And I’m amazed that democracy is still not totally broken, despite the efforts of your current government and the spinelessness of the opposition.

              No.

              The ideas behind them involved slavery and genocide. Otherwise known as “colonial settler” behavior.

              We have always been the baddies.

              ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

          A lot of it has to do with the corrupt ass supreme court shitting on the constitution so they can enrich the guys buying them RVs.

            Yes, SCOTUS is a problem here. Having executive, legislation and jurisdiction trying to burn the state down is a real issue. I’m amazed that the US still has some recognizable democratic elements, despite all those attacks on it.

          Laws anywhere apply only as far as they benefit the ruling class, be that class the capitalists or the workers. That’s the function of a state.
