    • ICE Agents Realize They Arrested Wrong Teen, Say 'Take Him Anyway'

  • ACAB gonna do what ACAB does. Back in the day if a crime was committed the cops would go into a minority neighborhood from which a suspected criminal was from and just arrest someone. “They were guilty of something…” Didn’t matter if they were or not. Just arrest them anyway.

    • Elon Musk’s Alleged Unverified 4chan Account Leaked: Calls Himself “Antichrist,” Praises Hitler, God Complex, Antisemitic Rants, New World Order agenda

    Jump

  • A reddit post? They're not the best detectives by any measure. Whatever. It’s meaningless without being able to tie it directly to Musk with something verifiable. Not just an account saying “I am Musk.” 4chan is full of shit.

  • Out of ~250 million eligible voters (legally able, 18 or over, etc) roughly 32% voted for trump.

    • Is there a term for exploiting the letter of the law for malicious gain, particularly knowing that the opponent will be bound by the letter of the law despite the negative outcome?

    Jump

  • No, it’s becoming clear that there isn’t a term for what I’m looking for. And that’s fine.

  • That’s an interesting term. Using the law itself as the harassing cudgel.

  • Not even needing to be misrepresented or intentional, the law can be neutral or even be intended as a benefit. Let’s look at executive orders by the president. They were never intended to be used like they are, but now they’re used as a king’s decree bypassing congress. Or bankruptcy law, intended to allow a business or individual to get a sort of do-over financially, but instead used to kill employee pension plans or escape debt by foolish spending on luxuries.

  • Yes, but the compliance is often driven by the recipient of the act, not the independent use of the law. Still not quite the same.

  • Loopholes could be used, but they aren’t the intent behind the use.

  • The first is usually revenge and the adherence to the law is often demanded by the recipient of the negative outcome. Lawfare is a little neutral.

    Jump

  • Could be…but also we need the parties involved knowing the outcome is deliberately negative. Bad faith doesn’t quite cut it.

  • Maybe? But that term is more for revenge than anything else.

  • Thar’s the user, not the act of exploiting the law.

    Jump

  • Pretty close. That seems a little neutral and leans towards law being used as a weapon regardless of the outcome. I’m looking for a term that is lawfare except deliberate exploitation for a malicious outcome knowing the opponent won’t use the law similarly.

  • Yeah. Their behavior is exactly what brings this term search to mind. Funny how you immediately nailed the source immediately.

    • Trump can't revoke legal status of migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela, judge rules

  • Trump: deports them anyway.

    Autocrat gonna autocrat. He’s pretty much established he doesn’t care what the courts say, and his ICE Stasi don’t care either.

  • Start linking up 4chan IDs to real rich people like Musk or republican officials and watch trump start calling for the death penalty for the hacker.
