Consequences?

I honestly thought a lawless society would be more like mad max. Not his BS!!!

I once heard a radio program that changed the way I think about fire and government control. The program emphasized how central fire has been to human survival and how, over time, society has regulated it to the point of alienation. The program explored how we offload very basic functions to authority in exchange for other benefits. In turn the authority is interested in control of these basic functions. For example, historically, entire cities were built from wood, leading to devastating fires. In response, governments began instilling fear around fire to promote caution: we created cartoon bears warning children not to play with matches and imposed strict fire regulations.

As a result, people became increasingly disconnected from fire. Kids raised on fire-safety propaganda grew up being told they couldn’t burn things on their own property or light a fire without permission, especially in cities. Eventually, the knowledge and instinct to responsibly manage fire faded. Fire became something only officials could control. Today, people panic at the mere smell of smoke, not because of immediate danger, but because we’ve been conditioned to view any fire as a threat.

The deeper point the program made was about dependence on authority. When we outsource essential survival skills, like fire management or justice to the government, we assume it will handle those responsibilities competently. But what happens when it doesn’t? For example, Native cultures used controlled burns to prevent wildfires by clearing dry brush. When governments prohibit such practices and also fail to manage the land properly, fuel builds up and massive fires become inevitable.

This raises a fundamental ethical question: If the government refuses to fulfill its basic responsibilities, do citizens have the right, or even the duty, to reclaim control over essential survival functions?

And nothing will happen. All consequences from here on out are just for you and me.

The law doesnt matter anymore, the Mafia has control of the military and the armed branches of the federal government, and has more or less told everyone “the fuck are you gonna do about it?”

Who cares??? Honestly im sick of hearing it. He’s clearly above the law.

Now, watch as literally nothing at all is done about it, just like his last blatant and obvious felony and just like his next one.

We suck.

The president has immunity while being in office, was the supreme court ruling right?

And if this doesn’t count under the immunity, he just replaces judges and claims he lost faith in the justice system and abolishes and restructures it, just as Hitler did. He already ignored several other judge rulings.

May have? LOL!

So can we expect more finger wagging, indignant tweets and furrowed brows? Maybe a SLAM or two? No? Then suck it up, america!

This is just how our country is now.

Trump: seen

He’s not in prison for treason and espionage - it’s doubtful he’s going anywhere no matter how heinous a crime he commits.

He’s…a…fucking…criminal. A criminal is in charge of the law. AND the national piggy bank, but that for another time.

How many of you have criminals as friends? None. You know why? Because they’ll lie and steal from you just as fast as anyone else - that’s why. And that’s trumpski - a lying criminal con man. AND a traitor to the country that gave him everything he’s got.

Just so you don’t have to read through the article to find out which law he broke this time: he used the presidential seal while he spoke at a private, for-profit event.

SPOILER ALERT!

Nothing will happen.
