    We may not like them. And I don’t. But they are absolutely real. Or else we wouldn’t be talking about it right now.

      You cannot touch a law, a border, or fiat currency. They are not real.

        I get what you’re saying and agree in spirit of your words, but you can’t touch space or vacuum either, but they’re real. Or if you want to call them lack of something, then there’s dark matter and dark energy which barely interact with anything so should be untouchable. Real and tangible are different things basically.

          You can empirically prove that a vacuum exists. Do the same for a law.

        They can all have you killed and they’re very real. Unfortunately. While we need to abolish them pretending they aren’t real and don’t exist is the height of inanity.
