Deserving of a much broader audience and real understanding of what exactly has emerged here. An extremely salient point: “The law applies differently depending on which category you occupy. For friends, the law is a shield. For enemies, it is a sword”
And thus, as it ever was. We have an expression in the UK amongst the plebs / the common folk: “The law is an ass.” We know it has been designed in such a way that enables the switch between the sword and the shield. Only, the extremes by which this is now playing out have widened significantly. A sobering thought on the descent into tyranny that has long been warned of.
As an Australian, I'm hearing about this for the first time here.
Previously I was wondering what the 'tipping point would be... what would it take for someone of relevance to declare that if it quacks like a fascist duck and swims like a fascist duck, then there is only one conclusion.
