    Do the courts not see how continuing to declare this man guilty but impose no consequences is begging for vigilante violence? Perhaps once the violence is directed at the courts they’ll care.

      The whole idea is the erosion of institutions. Oligarchs need the government to be ineffectual, hypocritical, and incompetent. Destroying public service and replacing with private markets is one of the few areas of extraction left.

      An ineffectual, hypocritical, and incompetent government makes the unregulated company town run and the factories with slave labor seem better in comparison. They’re still worse, but that’ll change with enough anti-government in the government.
