These days, this seems to be "modus operandi". The bet is who can get closer to the administration to suddenly enforce the un-enforce-able. For your own safety. You wouldn't steal a car now, would you?

To acquiesce to manufactured "social truths", to resign complacently to them being "modus operandi" means to place yourself outside of the society you live in.

You make yourself subject to a social reality you presume outside of your control. But you enabled them, if by nothing else, by your silent acceptance.

Moral and ethical judgements cannot be left to the very same people they are supposed to restrain in the first place.
