I disagree.
The state never has moral authority, it's just force.
And their only legitimacy comes from the consent of the people...... and the people are about done with the double standard bullshit. You going to see people start announcing the withdrawal of their consent by opening fire. (And no one can say they weren't warned.)
When I was in the military, about the only time I can ever remember any of those go-along-to-get-along-, ass-kissing, senior NCOs ever getting up the balls to publicly challenge the command, it was over double standards.
People will put up with all manner of abuse, as long as the abuse is equally distributed.
When it ain't?
Better watch out.....
