To be fair: all laws are legal fictions enforced by the pointy end of a stick. Could just as easily end up with totalitarianism.

Now you’re getting it.

So when a small group of people has seized control of the laws it’s time to resort to the pointy end of the stick.

The laws are there to protect the people from those who seek to enslave them not the other way around.

Are you planning to commit an act of political violence? Do you have weapons?
