      “The closer the collapse of the Empire, the crazier its laws are.”

        Grrrrr, he very likely didn’t say that.

        The closest to it I could find is “The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws” by Tacitus (The Annals of Imperial Rome).

        Cicero lived at the end of the republic, his problem wasn’t too many laws…

          Bang on mate. It’s here in the “Misattributed” section https://en.m.wikiquote.org/wiki/Cicero

        Cicero was world class complainer after all.

      When the sentence is the same for non-violent protest and for actual terrorism, don’t be surprised if things get more extreme quickly.

      Just more newspeak, like Trump calling everything he posts online “truths” while being nothing but lie after lie.
