It’s the citizens’ problem until enough of them can make it the government’s problem.

Laws are tautologically in the domain of government.

edit: If the torture is unlawful, then the government is illegitimate. I'm not saying life doesn't suck; I'm just saying no actually citizens should not tolerate unjust laws just because making just laws is ~too hard~.

(I had to add this reply in an edit because this garbage ass gestapo run website is throttling my reply rate.)

There's rarely tort relief for torture, even less so in Russia repblics.

If Ramzan Kadyrov is properly serious about this declaration then it'll firmly remain a citizen's problem until the next great leap { forward | backward | sideways | down }.
