A question, Bluesky community...
Are all of us here - all around the world - generally up for this wild concept called "The Rule of Law" both nationally and internationally?

But expects everyone else to be
It's just that some wannabe dictators believe they *are* the law.
When it became a concept is more concerning
The Rule of Conscience, first and foremost.
That has issues.
I think we need a higher bar.
It only works for decent folk.
I see you won’t answer my question because it problematises your position.
"To every subject of this land, however powerful, I would use Thomas Fuller's words over three hundred years ago, ‘Be ye never so high, the law is above you.’" 1977.
As Gandhi said, when asked about Western Civilisation, "I think it would be a good idea".
My notion of justice is certainly being failed in the UK and our failure to uphold International law leaves me in dread for our future!
Although law itself isn’t always justice.
But if the law applies equally to everyone then sure.
No wait, it can apply equally and still be unjust.
Hmm.

I'm not particularly keen on the laws of Afghanistan, North Korea, Russia or even some aspects of UK law, for that matter.

Electioneering is akin to marketing...the end result is the only thing that matters. There is little or no integrity
But as a gay man of a certain age I know firsthand that lawfully right and morally right are not always the same thing
You know what certain leaders say... 'Human rights - they're not for everyone'!
Obviously there are problems with every legal system but the alternatives to the rule of law are usually really bad.
What if demonstrating is made illegal?
What if campaigning for Scottish independence is made illegal?
What Hitler & his lot did was “legal”.
Apartheid is “legal” in some countries.
Forcing your wife to have sex used to be “legal”.
It’s not always black & white.
Justice is Gods queen.
She come to stop humanity from being mean.
He saved us so future sins could be seen.
She remained to keep our conscience clean.
When your time comes, your slate will be seen.
Justice denies entry unless your debts are pristine.
I think you have fallen for a conspiracy theory
