"The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread."

"The law" and the entire legal system of injustices behind it is embarrassing as fuck too. Same goes for those who simp for it.

    I’m not saying it’s perfect. It has its share of flaws, but rules and law create order. I’m not a simp for US law, but without it, injustice would run even more rampant. If you claim to love justice then you must also, by principle, be in favor of some sort of law system that enforces it.

    Rules != the law. The legal frameworks are inherently flawed and globally protect the rich and powerful, while harming minorities.

    Yes societies need rules, those can be agreed upon by people living in the societies.

    What would you argue are the differences between rules and laws in society? I use the two interchangeably as I believe them to mean the same thing.

    I would say

    Laws are backed by states and their sole authority to use violence to enforce them.

    Rules can be made by any group of peoples.
