it's corrupt for a reason: if people didn't break the fucking law, then they wouldn't have to go through it

Hym "The claim is that Trump is being UNFAIRLY MALIGNED BY THE LEGAL SYSTEM, shit-lib. THAT'S YOUR CLAIM. YOU ARE THE ONES SAYING THE BLACK PEOPLE ARE UNFAIRLY MALIGNED BY THE LEGAL SYSTEM YOU FUCKING IDIOTS. That's the parallel he is darwing when he says he relates to black people. He's not calling black people criminals. Your reading comprehension is bad. Dumb. You're either dumb or dishonest."

Get the Legal system determined mental incompetence mug.The problem of self-enforcement: The legal system's authority ultimately rests on the threat of state violence (police, prisons). But what legitimizes that violence? The law itself. This is a circular justification: the law is right because the law says it's right, and it will punish you if you disagree. The hard problem is that the system cannot provide a non-coercive, non-circular foundation for its own power. It assumes its legitimacy, and that assumption is backed by force. Any attempt to question the system's foundations from within is met with procedures defined by the very system being questioned.
Example: You are on trial. You argue the law is unjust. The judge says, "That's not a legal argument." You argue the court has no jurisdiction. The judge cites laws granting jurisdiction. You refuse to recognize the court. You are held in contempt—a charge defined by the court's own rules. The hard problem: The legal system is a closed loop. Its validity is a social agreement reinforced by its own operational success and monopoly on legitimate violence. To stand outside it and demand justification is to invite its force, not its reason. It is the ultimate "because I said so" backed by handcuffs. Hard Problem of the Legal System.

Get the Hard Problem of the Legal System mug.The perspective that laws are not discovered, eternal truths of justice (like gravity), but are human-made tools that reflect and enforce the power structures, values, and social anxieties of the society that creates them. What is "legal" or "a crime" changes dramatically across time and place, proving that the law is a constructed narrative about order, morality, and control, written by the powerful and naturalized through courts and police.
*Example: "In 1850, U.S. law constructed a Black person as three-fifths of a human for political power. In 1920, it constructed women as fully human for voting. Today, it constructs corporations as 'persons' for free speech. The Theory of Constructed Legal Systems shows law isn't divine logic; it's a story a society tells itself about who and what counts, and that story gets rewritten when power shifts."*
