We know what the law is… the law is bullshit.
Is it easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism?
What you can imagine has very little to bear on what they can get away with without being legally shut down.
I mean, yeah. There's enough nukes locked and loaded around the globe to end human civilization as we know it in minutes. Nobody's made a bomb that can fix socioeconomics.
No. Or maybe yes (with the current US government the end of the world is quite easy to imagine... )
But what I can imagine has very little to do with what actually happens.
