People like to think humanity is above trial by combat

djsumdog - https://djsumdog.com/users/djsumdog @p - https://fsebugoutzone.org/users/p Trial by combat is preferable to America's present system of "justice".

@eriner@noauthority.social @djsumdog@djsumdog.com Depends on what you mean.

@p - https://fsebugoutzone.org/users/p djsumdog - https://djsumdog.com/users/djsumdog I mean that I should be allowed to forgo the kangaroo farce and face my accuser in single combat or elect a champion to fight in my stead.

No electing champions. That's bullshit. You're outsourcing your favour with God!

djsumdog - https://djsumdog.com/users/djsumdog @p - https://fsebugoutzone.org/users/p No, that has to be permitted. If the government kidnaps me, breaks my leg and beats me, then attempts to push me through their gay court where I'll be adjudicated by their gay rules, completely divorced from any true legal system, then I need the right to select a champion.

So who qualifies for trial by combat? Is it just random volunteers in a pool? Does the State get a separate (but equal) pool? If not, do you get to select your own Champion? Like, you could just select someone you hate from your childhood if you know you're guilty and want them to die too? Wouldn't that create a society where no one wants to be friends for fear of being volunteered for combat duty? Fuck, it's hard enough to get out of jury duty!

@p@fsebugoutzone.org The answer is domestic violence.

@p@fsebugoutzone.org violence is what we naturally resort to when diplomacy fails.

@Doll@decayable.ink @p@fsebugoutzone.org that's totally a sign you'd find me carrying at a rally.

@Nepiant@varishangout.net Language is a tool we've applied to avoid violence, likewise trade. Violence is the default, it is pretty amazing people managed to come up with something new.

@p@fsebugoutzone.org @Nepiant@varishangout.net these idiots, REINVENTING THE WHEEL! KILL thy neighbor, actually.
