alt Hacker NewsThis is incredibly stupid, but don't laugh at Spaniards: your (and my) lawmakers are equally likely to enact similarly stupid laws. It's mind-boggling how stupid the world can be sometimes.

>enact similarly stupid laws.
No new law was enacted. The ISPs are enforcing a court order.
This has not so much to do with the law, but the execution of it.
It seems vastly inproportionate. And is likely severe overstepping.
The issue is that spain does not have a backstop. It is a completely institutional failure.
That's why you can laugh at them. Because this level of instutional failure should not happen where I come from.
Hopefully, reaction is read as to the action, not some categorization of the actor
"hate the sin, love the sinner", or something
Not lawmakers in this case, but judges having no understanding of what they're ruling on.
> how stupid the world can be
This isn't stupidity. It's corruption.
It describes hierarchy and power more than it does intelligence
The epitaph on the tombstone of this civilization shall read:
Zealously mistook malice for stupidity.
They pass stupid laws with impunity here in America.
Sadly, an alien viewing our behavior would deduce a rule such as: as long as the voter is the same tribe as the candidate, the voter must vote for candidate no matter how corrupt.
