    that’s not how it works. the law does not exist to protect you; it exists to make you tolerate your exploitation and feel like it’s fair.

      I wouldn’t even say that. The law exists to protect the powerful and doesn’t care if it feels fair to you or not.

      • right but it can’t protect the powerful without gaslighting you, because the direct use of violence for control is really really fucking inefficient, and the use of pure terror for control isn’t much better. you need to build the prison in your prisoners’ heads, y’know?
