    the poors are a second class citizen, the police are for the protecting the running dogs of capital

    Our society is strictly hierarchical. The higher on the ladder you are, the higher you’re going to be valued by the system. Thus the supposed threat to a CEO is taken much more seriously than the actual threat against the family of a nobody.

      There's a class that the law binds and does not protect, and a class the law protects and does not bind.

        Not quite. If the CEO fucks with someone even higher on the ladder, it could end up really bad for him too. But that usually never happens because they know on which side of the class war they are.

          True, the state protects the bourgeoisie from itself. But I think that it's a nice heuristic to tell to libs to get them to understand what the function of the law is.

            Yeah true, even just a superficial understanding is already a big step forward for most libs.

            (on a more serious note I honestly didnt recognize your name either, the site really is just big enough that if you only mostly hang out in one place like the news mega you're not going to recognize most people if they're not also frequently posting in the same place)

              Its gotten to the point where I barely recognize anyone anymore. Like the only reason why I remember someone now is because they've managed to invoke some emotion that's now tied to their name. Either that or I slowly remember user avatars or you got a silly name or your name keeps showing up in the mod reports.

                i recognize avatars more than names, i think. probably has to do with humans (usually) being really good at recognizing faces lol

                  Yeah absolutely, that's what I mean. I'm sure some people might recognize my name or pfp but definitely not everyone. I'm not that powerful a poster.
