State Atty in my state will leave indigents in jail until the eve of the speedy trial clause, 5+ months, then give plea deal 4 time served
-
It's basically a form of jailing people who can't afford bail with no civil rights. 5+ months also often > than min sentencing guidelines.

Damn. Shit like this cannot be allowed to happen.

It happens every day. It is arbitrary & ruins lives. You get arrested, bail set at $500. You are working class poor, paycheck to paycheck.
-
You don't have $500? You sit in jail. You don't make it to work next week, lose your job...& so it goes & goes.

It's criminal.

But, the whole system is a panoptic agent of the government. It has been designed to conscript, expropriate and lynch us at the state's will

To a degree, yes. Our system is fails because our economy is based on debt. Until that is fixed all systems will fail, no matter the ideal.

One cannot fix the system because system follows the feature of imposed order. You need a

I agree. But you cannot tear it down in one giant swoop and be done with it either. It is a neverending process of rise and fall: continuous

Yes, Rome wasn't build in a day. The system should be pauperised through nonpolitical means or through agorism method. Obviously, anarchy!

Eliminating the debt based economy would be the worst.. people would rather switch to basic income (even more debt!) Than even consider it.

The tragedy of our civilization is that many people have habituated themselves with mental slavery. To free them is indeed a herculean taskpic.twitter.com/w0YiTe6dIL
