You're so close! Instead of patching the issue maybe let's solve the root problem of spiky power distribution among humans. We don't need to make sure cops have immunity to prosecute powerful people. We need to not have powerful people.

(though realistically speaking yes there's probably some level of procedural immunity that probably makes sense, similarly with business bankruptcies not ruining the people who start the business)

I agree with you, but most people aren’t ready to engage with basic anarchist arguments

		I don't know if anarchy helps in this situation, I actually think you need robust social systems with buy in from citizens to prevent the natural accumulation of power. The fundamental problem is that there's a diminishing cost to acquiring power as you acquire power, this relationship should be inverted. The more powerful you are the harder it should be to get more powerful. This is basic engineering, you don't want runaway feedback loops, the underlying system is unstable so we need a control system.

We need to not have powerful people

What does this even mean?

It's very easy to get started on this, you tax the shit out of people who have a lot of money because the old adage is true.

Make currently powerful people less powerful and currently powerless people more powerful.

C'mon, HN users forgot how to think? Forgot to ask Claude?

		To do that you first need to become more powerful than those powerful people, right?
