This seems to be a thing now. Overt rejection of the authority of laws. Makes me wonder how long a civilization can continue if that attitude is widespread.

We seem to be focused more on getting the stock market and the price of assets up, up, up, and calling that progress and a sign of prosperity for our society. The French and the Russian revolutions have shown society has a breaking point at wich the working class will revolt and behead the ruling class. However, that was over 100 years ago and today, the ruling class has much better surveillance technology and weapons than the peasants of today and can monitor and quench any uprising before it even manifests. Plus, the ruling and asset owning classes don't live within striking distance of the angry mobs like they did 100 years ago, but can live safely in a remote place like some island around New Zeeland and run their affairs remotely through a shell enterprise registered at a post-box in Luxembourg for example.
