If your rules don't include checks and consequences against those who have no regard for the rules, then you don't have rules.
If such checks and consequences exist, and those charged with imposing them lack the will or the ability to do so, then they don't exist.
As we see.
A group of authoritarian supremacists tried to murder their colleagues and overthrow the government 2 years ago, and most of the rest of their team went along with it, and none of them faced any consequence, and we see the inevitable result: they're in charge of the workplace.
It's an *inevitable* result. If you go to your place of work and try to murder your colleagues in a violent takeover, if your department then backs the attempt, if leadership deems that your summary dismissal is a greater infraction against the rule of order than your murderous attempt, you will learn—correctly—that rules do not apply to you, and that you are, effectively, in charge.
The weakness in our system is supremacy.
I think it was because our system was built to optimize for supremacy, and there are many historical and political reasons to believe that.
But in any case, our system has no guard against supremacists, who would rather kill than share.
@JuliusGoat They are not supposed to be seated by given their sedition. The entire congress appears to be ignoring the 14th ammendment, section 3. So what law requires penalty for congress violating its oath to uphold the US Constitution and their own laws? This whole thing is absurd beyond absurd!
