It’s all so tiresome

Older generations had a lot more freedom. Technology hadn't yet developed to the point where all of our activities, thoughts, actions, behaviors were tracked through mobile phones, cctv, microphones, computers, etc. not only that, but the legal system back then seemed far less punitive. Back then, it seemed like the only people who ended up in jail/prison were the people who really deserved to be there. Ofc innocent people were sometimes wrongly convicted, but that's inevitable to a certain extent. Now you have a for profit prison system whose goal is to over-incarcerate individuals. Not only this, but politicians now use the law as a means to appeal to emotion and seize power through voting. The end result is a world where everything is starting to become a crime. You now see the rise in "hate speech" laws that limit what you can and can't say. Another example is this new law in the United States where drug dealers who deal drugs that result in a fentanyl overdose are being charged with murder. It appears to me that people and politicians are using the law to tackle symptoms of the problem, rather than addressing the underlying problem. Many problems are starting to emerge in the modern world as a consequences of societal decay and the abandonment of cultural integrity. The end result is a collapse which we try to remedy through the legal system. Of course, this is nothing more than a band aid, and doesn't address the root causes of these problems. The end result is a overly puritanical society where people live in fear and the emergence of a police state that bullies its citizens. Generally speaking, the less laws your nation/society has on the books, the better.
