the interesting part is the ramifications of propaganda on the justice system. This is a very concrete example of how you can interfere with the rule of law if you can sway public opinion enough on an issue (this is true regardless of whether you believe the zeitgeist on luigi is organic or not). It's a dynamic more of us should be aware of. The public generally has more agency than we realize.
- Brian_K_White 2y agoPublic opinion IS an intentional and legitimate part of the rule of law in the US. That is why the jury is composed of peers, and has the ultimate veto power. That's not interfering with the rule of law, it's conducting it. Interfering would be the insurance companies using money to buy public opinion.
- noprocrasted 2y ago> Interfering would be the insurance companies using money to buy public opinion. Which is very likely happening. I read that there are two manifestos going around, one real and one fake. The real one is much easier to get behind and sympathize with than the fake one. Yet somehow the fake one is being published in most places and publications refuse to answer the question as to why they're refusing to publish the real one.

- cr125rider 2y agoExactly. In elections, politics and policy are too complicated for the average voter. Being likable goes an incredibly long way.
