>I think this can be a similar situation in the "justice" system. If you have no faith in the system do to their track record of misconduct, mistakes, etc, then you have no incentive to believ in them or try the legitimate path.
I believe this is why high level politicians and the wealthy get out of trouble. They know the system is a sham, so there's no point in going along with it.
- ctack 5y agoThey can afford to perceive the system as a sham. I might understand that it’s a sham, but I’d be miserable and powerless to push against it. So it’s a pointless belief to have. But after that, it becomes a bit chicken and egg: Is it a sham only because you have power to make it a sham or was it a sham all along?
- Aerroon 5y agoI meant this in terms of justifying it to themselves. They wouldn't lose also over "evading justice" because they don't think it's really just. >But after that, it becomes a bit chicken and egg: Is it a sham only because you have power to make it a sham or was it a sham all along? I disagree with this point. It was a sham all along. I think the chicken and egg problem is that people feeling like the system is a sham makes the system into a sham. Which came first? A system that's a sham or the belief?
