Judges are some of the most overtly dystopian aspects of our system. They don't even have to pretend to be fair. Petty lords of the fucking court, you have to grovel and beg for them not to order their fucking goons to brutalize you.

I was going to say that the Judges in Judge Dredd are so much closer to reality than we think, but actually not even the fictional, exaggerated judges are this petty or image-obsesses.

Dawg court is so boring idk how more people don't fall asleep during that shit.

Also I love the american view of what constitutes crime. Something mundane as sleeping in some class should apparently be a long sentence.

Absolute vile country, god.

Once you’ve spent enough time on the American internet you’ll find a pattern of libs and chuds turning minor things into very serious crimes, so that pissing in the street becomes “literally domestic terrorism” that warrants capital punishment.

In the same vein, I expect this to be “literally incitement to violence”

I mean yeah. I feel like that's also heavily pushed in media too. I remember when jordan neely was murdered. Lot of people, especially the more liberal dnc oribiters were just spewing evil shit. They of course also have the similar hate for the homeless. They talk in nazi terms when describing how criminal homeless are and how they have to be dealt.

But even then it baffles how far reaching that notion of crime in USA is held.

I have been watching person of interest. Its a show which justifies CIA or NSA surveillance cause "muh 9/11". But it also has interesting aspect in it. Which is the whole idea of what crime is and what's detestable. I've been meaning to write about it but haven't found time. Specifically all the weird shit that they insert about "Evil terrorist regimes".

Imagine being so invested in your own make-believe auctoritas that you're willing to traumatize a young girl falling asleep on a boring ass school field trip (something that has definitely never happened before and isn't a trope in hundreds of cartoons)

We are traumatizing kids to scare them, come on huh what part of that is off the rails - judge

The judge even had the gall to ask the kid's parents if they wanted him to be a mentor. Tf is he going to teach? How to stuff prisons?
