Nobody has the moral fortitude to step forward and fix shit because it’s broken.

Comment on Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon
LordGimp@lemm.ee 2 days agoThere is no “international authority”. It’s all big stick politics out there. It’s like trying to go after a corporation in the US. The “punishments” when they break the law are fines, if that, and any admonishment not to fuck over the same person in the same way again.
Think about your boss shorting you $100. The “legal” process involves YEARS of waiting for a court date, a labor code interpreted heavily in favor of the employer, and at the end of the day, they get fines and maybe have to pay back what you rightfully earned in the first place.
Now think about what happens when you steal $100 from work. Immediate police involvement, possible arrest, absolute legal consequences even if you’re cleared years later, the presumption of guilt from everyone in society.
It’s even worse on a political stage. Nobody has the moral fortitude to step forward and fix shit because it’s broken. Everyone just waits around until the collective consciousness supports some sort of social consequence on the offender in question. That’s not even tying race or religion into the mix, which Israel loves to twist up into their particular brand of nationalism.
The civil world is simply too polite to call them out for all their shit. It’s a whole world full of chickenshit and I am tired of the stink.

It’s like that saying goes: “The law is the same for everyone, neither the king nor the beggar may sleep under a bridge.”

That’s BS. The king would never need to sleep under a bridge and if he chose to the police would do nothing about it.

That’s the point of the saying. The law can be crafted to treat everyone equally, while only benefitting the king.
