I thought the same, but I have seen myself in increasing need to realise that the rule of the law got hijacked by new tyrants, and that this always seems to happen sooner or later. Which again introduces the law of the jungle: he who manages to control the law making, controls people, and by that he controls the majority of "guns" (call it law and order, or state monopoly) by which people get opressed again. We see it on big big scale currently in both the EU and in the US.

In the end, and if you think it to the end consequently, law and order is a form of anarchy/law of the strongest, too.

I have no solution to this dilemma. Maybe this: be strong yourself, stay free and defend freedom with teeth and claws, even when this makes you a lonely man. But the dilemma explains why from time to time there are revolutions cracking it up violently. Maybe like a bush fire prepares the ground and afterwards the soil is fertile and the green blooms again like crazy, revolutions are a good thing, a healthy cultural cleansing as well - at least some times as long as they do not bring some crazies like Mao or Lenin to power.

What I know for sure, on the other hand, is that these days the rule of law I cannot trust anymore. It has bitten me personally repeatedly in my life, and my family, and it today is a tool to enforce wanted agendas against the people, and rip them off their money while securing eternal rule for political actors on no longer legitimised levels. In other words it has become a tool of supression. When law gets abused, it becomes corrupted. When law becomes corrupted, it is corrupt law. Corrupt law deserve no loyalty. It strangles people - slowly, legally, underhandedly.
