Well... If you're fucked no matter what you do consequences become meaningless.

A lot of people seem to be realizing that the only reason any of this "works" is because we all kind of just agree to follow the rules more or less. When following the rules results in the same thing as doing whatever you wanted to anyway, there's a disincentive to adhere to the rules.

Wew. Things getting spicy.
