Many claim that a security state is order because people are subdued, but that subjection creates chaos from rules applied back.

A system that is bad can only claim short time stability, but will lead to downward spiral and creation of chaos, since the system is not stable without justice for all people. Which is the cycles of war and hardship.


There is a false claim of stability as order even if bad methods create it, that is a lack of understanding of order, order requires balance, which is part of justice for all people, not selective or two tier justice.

If you know a system is on a downward spiral by its actions that are not good, then it is not rational to assume it is order, but just false order if it can be lied about and not shown for what it really is, lack of justice.
