And I don’t know why so many people still think they can’t.

    I’ve been watching the YouTuber Legal Eagle for a while now, and he always seemingly had a very idealistic view of the legal system, bordering naïve. It’s been real interesting watching this change in the recent videos.

      Been watching Legal Eagle since he was primarily a channel devoted to pointing out the legal accuracy of movies, like Home Alone, and My Cousin Vinnie, which naturally led him into analyzing what crimes were committed in said movies.

      His latest videos have been harder to watch than his Jan 6th video. That one is a damn near real time video of a lawyer losing faith in the system of law. These new ones are multiple lawyers that are losing their minds because the ruling party doesn’t care about the law at all.

      Not surprising. Lawyers, like cops, are inherently right wing, as they are a part of the same system of oppression. Their ideology makes them think the status quo is perfect, and any systemic issue is merely a small error on an individual scale.

        Believing in law and order isn’t inherently right wing, nor is wanting to change the system rather than raze it to the ground. People who say the things you do above are anarchist extremists who are just as loony as the facists they oppose.
