    Because if they legalized that shit we’d get to do it too without the cops busting out asses, and the entire point is to lord the fact that they can do whatever the fuck they want (and that we can’t) over us.

        I think a lot of them also get off on the whole taboo/forbidden thing. Also explains closeted gay Republicans.

      Even this misses the point, imo. It’s not about lording over people. It’s about creating and maintaining a system that lets them pick and choose who sits behind bars, who loses access to their finances, who is allowed to vote, and ultimately who has the power.

      The rules exist to allow them to target anyone they want. The fact that they simply ignore them when they break them is not the end goal; it’s hust a small part of the system of oligarchic control.
