This post is a response to a question posed in its complete format: “Why don’t they outright ban loopholes in modern law? I get how humans are, and how literal laws can be, but still it’s like it doesn’t account for human nature and the laws written for robots.”

This question is like asking why can’t every bluish-coloured pebble of sand on a massive beach be removed.

Loopholes in law are bits of legal logic in which the language can be interpreted in multiple ways. At the same time, some of those interpretations constitute an escape from consequences, also known as a “technicality.”

The only things that can be done are to write laws in such ways as to make their interpretations as unbiased, neutral, and clearly defined as possible and to ensure the spirit of those laws is adequately conveyed within their construct.

Sadly, in a distorted environment where power imbalances influence the construction, application, enforcement, and rendering of decisions based on established statutes, loopholes are a feature, not a bug.

In the corporatocracy known as the U.S., loopholes are intentionally incorporated into laws to allow those with means an ability to access technicalities and avoid accountability for their actions. The highest court in the land has been deliberately shaped to serve the interests of power over and above the interests of the people. The Citizens United ruling would have been much different if that had not happened. The same is true of the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

With an organization like the American Legislative Exchange Council, laws are written specifically to benefit the wealthy and disenfranchise everyone else.

ALEC Exposed

Unbiased and neutral laws are impossible to write and enforce within such a toxic and anti-justice environment.

You may get “how humans are,” but few Americans truly understand how dire their circumstances are. With this level of corruption throughout their “justice” system, Americans have no hope of restoring justice without the people mobilizing and “pulling an Iceland manoeuvre in the extreme.” Americans are now well past the point of achieving justice in a just society without severe chaos ruling the land long enough to cull the monsters responsible for the corruption.

In short, Luigi was just the first shot back across the bow by the little people quickly reaching their breaking point. There will likely be riots nationwide before Trump’s term has run its course. Sadly, he’s not the problem, but a symptom of the problem and attacking him won’t solve the core problems. In some ways, he’ll be doing the nation a favour by making it impossible for the people to ignore just how prevalent the corruption issue is.

The MAGAts intuit this on a visceral level, and they voted for the symptom of the problem to deal with the situation. Still, their support is very much like pouring gasoline on a fire to make the apathetic among the nation wake TF up and pay attention to the freedoms they’re allowing to erode and be taken from them.

It is mind-boggling, for example, to outsiders to see a nation struggle to rein in mass murders and establish universal health care. You’ve had movies indulging in revenge fantasies against the corruption, but few of you seem willing to commit yourselves to fixing it. You seem to have settled in with having your children attend school while fearing for their lives and pretending there’s nothing horrifically surreal about that.

Americans are way, way, way past the point of fixing a few loopholes to restore sanity to your nation.
