But we're in late-stage postmodern civilisation so this is par for the course - the social contract breaks down, laws become meaningless. It was ever thus.

Try to impose Covid restrictions like was done successfully in 2020 and see what happens in 2024. The illusion of compliance and authority is all but gone in the western world, whether that's on an individual or geopolitical level.
