I mean we can live under a class of absolute dictators like in the medieval ages with the lords and the various elites and members of the court and the king and so forth but I thought we decided we were done with that. We can have a class of persons totally impune from any consequences to their actions but why would we want that? Of course the supreme court would create this, I don't even believe we should have a supreme court for the most part, but anyone who enters any so-called government role just wants absolute power. If you're anything besides a basic administrative bureaucrat, you want impunity, and so they get to write their own rules and surprise surprise they got their friends on the court to say "oh yeah well basically there's like this thing that like like like like like says we get to do whatever we want and like that's just how it is". I mean- we don't have to accept this. We don't have to accept anything the Supreme Court says as legitimate. We don't have to accept anyone's judgment in place of our own. Now of course somebody can always come and put a gun to our head and force us to comply, that'll never change, but we don't have to morally agree with anything that we find wrong for any reason and we can come together to resist it and fight it at anytime. No human being should have more rights than another. That's my position. There are always going to be rare exceptions in edge cases but by and large and almost all situations that is my position. Nobody should be supporting increasing government power and control or increasing immunity or impunity of government thugs, especially Pigs, to constantly infiltrate and aggress into our lives and continually whittle away at more and more of our individual rights and choices. So long as we are not using our rights to cause intentional and deliberate harm to an innocent person or animal we have the right to do just about anything we goddamn well please. That's what freedom of choice IS. People say they want to live in a free country usually just means they want freedom for people who look like themselves but they want subjugation and slavery for anybody who disagrees with them in any way or who looks different from them. It's pretty ugly but this is a land full of hypocrites. I, on the other hand, want freedom for EVERYONE, because I am a truly moral and upstanding person. My list of limited or prohibited actions or practices is very small. Only large corporations have freedom in the US the rest of us are chained by various unjust measures, some worse than others.
Just because somebody is in a public role doesn't mean they don't have to answer to anyone, but they feel it does. Any and all public agencies and all Pigs feel they have a god-given right to murder as they please and inflict harm and violence as they please. They do love their evil that's for sure.
It's not just that, it's on the white collar side too.
The collision, cooperation, corruption, and protection between big business and politicians in this country would make one's eyes water.
Well it's because this government is nothing but an assembly of force for the protection of large corporations. Corporations, through their lackeys at all levels in our government, want absolute power and so naturally they are going to lean on pretty much everybody including members of the high courts that they have influence with, to create these doctrines. It's up to us in the public if we wish to bend the knee or not to these decrees. I know I don't but I may be in the minority. I don't believe that anybody is one's my inherent superior and I don't care if you're the president or a janitor, you're just another human being and I have no inherent respect for anyone due to their title. That doesn't mean shit to me. I might have more respect for the homeless guy on the street who is doing his best to survive in a incredibly difficult situation than some privileged piece of shit who bought his way into the the governorship. These are all just elites who believe that they are inherently superior to the rest of us. We don't have to accept it. We can fight it through the courts, through the ballots, through public discourse.
