Maybe we should double down on capitalism again.

It’s the only move the US has used in living memory.

Like when Elon gets rid of “all regulations” make private bounty hunters/hitman legal again?

Anything is legal if it’s not prosecuted.

And with a dismantled government, how much can they really prosecute?

I assure you the last thing to be dismantled will be methods of enforcement on the populace.

Prosecution is one possibility. Getting gunned down is another. Getting sent to Gitmo is another. Having your family retaliated against is another.

ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works · 2 years ago

All legal, if they aren’t prosecuted either.

They won’t - that’s why your military will soon be a judicial militia.

WideEyedStupid@lemmy.world · 2 years ago

They won’t have to prosecute you if they just arrest you for being ‘violent’ or ‘terrorists’ and ship you off to El Salvador.

ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works · 2 years ago

Yup. And if they’re not prosecuted for it. Then their actions are “legal” as well.
