    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.
