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.
Very European of you dear 🤣
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.
Ahh I see... You can always count on the Germans to be regime bootlickers lol
Whose boots are you licking with your opinions?
I shill for the team peasant
My body of work speaks for itself
China, I assume. You seem to be a staunch communist, although you obviously don't care what that means. So probably Russia. If I'm wrong: China also has little to do with communism. It's just that the world's production is located there, so they have enough money to make people believe that this is a system worth living in.
I am banned on most of lemmy.ml communities primarily for mocking sheepooh and Russian pathetic performance in ukraine ✊
Your comment is a binary way of thinking, plebs thinking like this makes them very pliable. No room for nuance. My team good, your team bad...
I guess as long as slaves ain't fightign that class war, it is all kosher
I just don't understand what you're getting at.
There is a lot more nuance to how systems work than what propaganda says.
Just because I don't approve of the current architecture of the westoid regime, it does it automatically make me a simp for China or Russia style systems.
I just don't like being fucked over.
If I lived in China or Russia, I would still be getting fucked over, likely more.
I don't know what you mean by "architecture of westoid regimes" and I don't think you know either.
It is all besides the point. My question was what you think the purpose of a legal system should be. And all you come up with is that stuff.
