The U.S. plans to approve an arms package for Israel, including artillery shells, precision bombs, and GPS systems, though production and delivery could take years; Meanwhile, heavy bombs and bulldozer shipments face delays due to concerns over impact on civilians in Gaza

          you can do that whether the law exists or not. laws don’t stop that. they do, however, disproportionately punish the already marginalized classes, while serving the interests of the powerful.

            I could, but the risk reward for such an action when we have lows in place prevents me from doing it. I don’t not do things simply because they’re illegal, I break many laws all the time, I don’t do certain things because the punishment isn’t worth the reward of killing your family.

            If we have a system of no laws then I would be more inclined to do it as your resources to find me are negligible compared to the states resources.

            Now I do agree that many laws disproportionately affect the poor in our society, but I would look for reform of the system rather than abolishing it.

                This is a somewhat selfish take, and although I don’t agree with a punitive justice system as I believe reform will lower the victims of crime more than punishing someone, as you should be thinking about the larger society and how me being off the streets means I can’t blow up someone else’s house. Sure it doesn’t get your house or family back, but it is better for society.

                    I’m going to end the discussion here. I have been countering your arguments with alternatives and adding my own thoughts. Whereas you have been saying nope not down with that, but not contributing to the discussion with what you propose or countering my points.

                    Have a great day and keep an eye out for me and my RPG. 😉

                I’m afraid I don’t understand. Like I understand the words but not what you’re trying to say.

                  You’re welcome to try to keep asking the people in power to change a system that inherently benefits them. I’ll choose another path.

                    Well I’m not against violent revolution to change the system. I just don’t think anarchy will give you the world you expect.

                    If you think the poor and marginalised or preyed upon now, how do you imagine that would pan out if we had no laws. The most heinous people would again rise to be the most powerful, it’s just there would be no laws to mitigate the damage they could do.
