Law and Force

Law is empty without force.
In order for the American states to have
declared themselves independent from the British Crown,
they needed enough military power
to resist and defeat the British forces.
Otherwise, the Constitution would have been ripped to shreds,
and its authors executed in the most brutal fashions.
Resisting a modern-day tyranny is no different.
Unless your natural, physical power
can match or exceed that of the tyranny in question,
every declaration of independence you make will be null and void,
and every valid legal justification you use will be tossed out
while that same tyranny either puts you under the jail or
has your body torn to shreds, or both.
Might still makes right,
even to the point of determining
the difference between being "right" and being "dead-right."
A just law with adequate physical power makes one right.
But that same law without any power makes one dead-right.
And it does one no good to win an argument from the grave.
Obtain the power first, then assert your law.
Own the game you're already playing,
then rewrite every last rule in your favor.
All laws must be enforced with an invincible power;
otherwise, they are nothing more than mere ideals.
