Violence is the only thing that works. Everything else is a proxy for violence. Cops are the direct thread of violence. Courts are an indirect threat of violence via military/police. Politicians are an indirect threat of violence via laws that would have the pigs show up at your doorstep. But it's all violence. In our present society many people have forgotten this fact but reminding them will affect lots of change.
"Anyone who clings to the historically untrue and thoroughly immoral doctrine that violence never settles anything I would advise to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it. The ghost of Hitler could referee, and the jury might well be the Dodo, the Great Auk, and the Passenger Pigeon.
Violence--naked force--has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and their freedoms."

At this point I'm willing to test Heinlein's theory of limiting the franchise to just veterans. It can't be worse than what we have now.
They would just put rightwingers in the high loss divisions, so the government goes progressively left.
And then its a leftwing military junta that runs society.
Which is probably the direction things are going anyway, but I digress.
Cops and soldiers are the faggots making the shit show dreams of politicians a reality.
