100 years from now you think historians will care which society was slightly more dystopian than the other?
Saying he broke the law is pointless, when the law is designed to be broken by dissidents.
- whatever1 5y agoDemocracy comes with rights but also responsibilities. The main responsibility is to follow the law. The other responsibility is to vote to select the correct laws to follow as a society. Nobody knows what the correct set of laws for a society is. That is why we have regular elections to iterate upon them. In very few cases you can see a clear cut and say definitely that a law is fair or unfair. Most of the laws lie on a spectrum, and I would argue that it is impossible to find a set of laws that are fair to all of the people, forever. That is why dictatorships even if they start with start with good intentions (some did) they end up being oppressive regimes.
