There’s a book I read a few years ago named “Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging” that delvs into this a bit and why humans are so tribal instinctively. Would highly recommend.
It’s definitely forced me to learn a lot within the past few days. I guess I should thank reddit, because if they hadn’t forced the 3rd party apps out of business I wouldn’t have ever heard of Lemmy or kbin.
I don’t understand how this wasn’t more of a priority to begin with. If you’re going to offer a digital solution for something it should at least be as convenient as the existing physical solution.
My dude. The people who enforce the laws you’re talking about don’t give a good god damn if you understand them or not.
And just because something is law doesn’t make it moral. You can agree with it or disagree with it on any point you want, but as long as it is a law, it applies to everyone. Doesn’t matter if they agree with it, understand it, or accept it. None of those things are required to enforce a law.
Really interesting write up about it. Can very much see this type of thing happening, and I imagine happens at a smaller scale all the time. Which is a sobering thought.
