As far-fetched as it sounds, I'd prefer elected officials and the justice system hold people accountable rather than psychotic murderers.

So would those guys in the boats in the Caribbean and the girls in that Iranian school, but the purpose of a system is what it does.

Likewise.

I think it's a real pity that of the "four boxes of liberty", Musk has interfered with the first three: soap, Twitter; ballot, the lawsuits about million dollar rewards for voting; jury, selecting his jurisdiction, dismantling enforcement institutions via DOGE.

On the plus side, it's only "interfered with" rather than "completely eliminated".

Still, glad I have an ocean between me and the USA.

Obviously that's preferable. What if they don't?

[JohnFen]

I wish that such systems in the US could be relied on to do that as well. It's pretty clear, though, that they can't.

Well... AGI by next month sounds more likely than what you are hoping for.

[dns_snek]

Who wouldn't? In the real world, the top elected officials and the justice system are covering up sex trafficking of children among the US elites, and that's only the tip of the iceberg. The system is psychotic and what's strange is there haven't been more people like Luigi.

[surgical_fire]

Speaking hypothetically, that is preferable, yes.

And the importance of the justice system working properly is that when it fails constantly and deliberately, many will come to the conclusion that the only option left is murder.
