You misunderstand me. My point isn't that we should give up entirely, it's simply that we stop trying to "beat them at their own game" (and force them to play ours instead).
I'm not sure what you think "our" game is.
I mean, in my game there is a functioning rule of law where separation of powers is real and universal access to the justice system is enforced regardless of income level. In that game when you set a rule that rule is applied across the board. And yeah, if the system is not playing that game you're supposed to make it play it.
Is that the game? Because it's a good game.
