Just because he was an authoritarian communist doesn’t mean Mao was incorrect when he said that all political power derives from the barrel of a gun.
Similarly, a law means absolutely nothing if it has no teeth, no consequences if broken.
A court of experts may very well come to a consensus on a ruling. But if they have no way to enforce that ruling, or carry out sentencing, what good is it? It’s essentially just virtue signaling at that point.
Not the person you replied to, and I am not trying to sound elitist, but a lot of people have ill-informed views. If they simply didn’t know before, it’s okay; but a lot people proudly prance as if they’re right, when their views are Twitter-takes instead of coming from expert sources.
