    To paraphrase Brennan Lee Mulligan, paraphrasing Michel Foucault, “Laws are threats made by the dominant socio-economic ethnic group in a given nation. It’s just a promise of violence that’s enacted and police are basically an occupying army.”

      How paraphrased are we talking, here? Because I’m pretty sure laws like “Don’t murder” and “Don’t rape” and the ability to punish people who break those laws aren’t just an expression of one socio-economic ethnic group maintaining violent occupation over another.

        Except even “don’t murder” and “don’t rape” isn’t equally applied to all citizen. In the US, you got the orange man as the prime example. Here in Canada, you just gotta look at how first nations victims are more often than not left to fend for themselves, while Mounties will ignore them if the case involves any type of effort.
