- Lawfare, a portmanteau of ‘law’ and ‘warfare’, is the process of weaponizing the law to control others unjustly.
- Instead of grounding the law in ancient common sense that even a ten-year-old can clearly understand, the law is corrupted via an endless struggle to impose subjective moral standards onto peaceful people against their will.
- Lawfare is inevitable in a democratic society that does not adhere to the Legal Principle. As lawfare continues unabated, the laws of the land multiply to the point where no one can fully know them. Yet not knowing these unknowable laws is insufficient defense to avoid severe punishment - it quickly becomes a broken system like we have today, where almost every adult on Earth would be deemed a criminal if their governing authorities had complete knowledge of their actions. Why would anyone choose or accept this system?
- We are given the choice to lick the left boot or the right boot—two wings of the same bird of prey.
- This is why we must evolve toward a 3L society, anchoring the law in the ancient universal principles of the Golden Rule, as described in the two principles of the 3L Philosophy.
