    The game itself only exists while its rules are being followed. They don’t need to be externally enforced, the collective agreement to play the game implies agreeing to its rules.

      That is so fucking stupid when talking about laws… Murder doesn’t magically become legal just because someone actually did it…

        in the game of society, participating in society means you agree to the current “rules” of the “game” (laws). And one of those rules is murder -> jail

          Yes and who puts them in jail when the murderer doesn’t want to go? An enforcer. God, you morons are being led to water and then shitting in it… Holy fucking pathetic.

            I was talking about the society as we live in now, since you decided to create a metaphorical connection between board games and reality. I didn’t mean to comment on whatever else you thought people are talking about

              Police still don’t make up laws. Regatfless of how offensive qualified immunity and the police union are, police still do not write law.
