Wilhoit’s law:
> There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
- TeMPOraL 2y agoIs that a prescriptive or descriptive law?
- qup 2y agoHe left out part of the quote, which is misappropriated as well. Wikipedia: > This quotation is often incorrectly attributed to Francis M. Wilhoit: > Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect. > However, it was actually a 2018 blog response by 59-year-old Ohio composer Frank Wilhoit, years after Francis Wilhoit's death. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_M._Wilhoit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_M._Wilhoit

- TZubiri 2y agoLol, that's clearly a descriptive law/maxim not an actual law.
