At some point....the government is just the mafia with PR....and more cronies to protect them....witting or unwitting.... Law....is just license and permit....not security or safety or anything related to quality, or outcome.... It is purely process....and those who wield it can choose to apply it or withhold it....when the law is applied...then the imaginary world it defines is then enforced on the real world...materially this requires force or volition.... but lbr....its mostly convoluted propaganda and inertial power....and the law keeps that status quo... If you are in anyway going to disrupt the power brokers....they will not let you....regardless of law or not
