    The purpose you mentioned is to oppress people. Does that seem desirable to you?

    My question was what you would do if it were up to you to decide what purpose the legal system should serve.

      The state inherently has to opress people into compliance. That ain’t changing. Only thing that can change how much and who gets oppressed.

      So ideally honest people don’t get fucked, criminals get prison.

      You can’t have a state with out it having the coersive power.

      Tax code is another exampe, the state miust have taxes but in practice stupid peasant pay the tax, rich man gets cash transfers. Again discrimination against poors.

        All I hear in your answer is anger. I can understand that, and I share it to a certain extent, but I think you’d be doing yourself a favor by turning that anger into something positive.

        Being against something achieves much less than being committed to a goal. The fanatical Maga supporters show where a purely negative worldview leads. These idiots are even against things that spring from their misguided imagination, and they can’t even define what their hatred is directed against. That’s why their leaders have given them terms like “woke,” which are as empty and unfocused as these people’s hatred. The goal is to have them pulled behind their leader, who does nothing but enrich himself.

        That doesn’t seem desirable to me. Rather, it seems desirable to me to think for myself instead of repeating slogans.

        My point: You won’t be able to change anything if you don’t have ideas that point in a positive direction. That only leads to the same unproductive hatred that the Maga fanatics represent.

          My comments above is political science 101.

          You are coloring it with your US centric misunderstanding on how regimes actually operate in practice.

          There is no “anger” child

            Spare me your imaginary lectures and also your assumptions. I am European and I know the basics of political science. Besides, I’m not the one downvoting you. You’re doing that all by yourself.

            I have tried to be conciliatory and convey a positive message here, but I have to conclude that this is obviously futile.

              your answer is anger.

              The fanatical Maga supporters

              terms like “woke,”

                Du hast nicht die geringste Ahnung, wovon du redest, mein Freund. Es ist armselig, wie du dich aufspielst ohne auch nur das Geringste zu sagen. Ich kann nur feststellen, dass du vollkommen verblendet bist und damit kaum besser als die Maga-Vögel, die dein Feindbild zu sein scheinen. Das kann ich nicht bewerten, weil mir vollkommen unklar ist, worauf du hinaus willst. Ich kann hier nur einen Social-Media-Troll erkennen - nichts weiter. Geistlos und arrogant - nichts als haltlosen Anschuldigungen und nicht ein eigenständiger Gedanke. Ich nehme an, du repräsentiert .ml. Das ist meines Ermessens der Schandfleck von Lemmy und der Grund weshalb ich meine finanzielle Unterstützung für die Softwareentwicklung eingestellt habe. Eine derart unreflektierte Weltsicht kann ich nicht unterstützen.
