Does "Lawful" apply here when they're buying politicians to change those laws for them?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lawful doesn't necessarily mean following the laws of a state, but adherence to order and hierarchy. Buying politicians to bureaucratically stack the deck in one's favor is compatible with lawful evil, for someone upholding a hierarchy in which they're (supposed to be) on top.

If it's more driven by greed than ideology, it's probably more neutral evil.

Nah. Some of those rat fucks are straight chaotic evil. Lawful usually means they have a consistent set of ideals they follow. Rules they won't break and such. Some, like Trump and musk, would gladly break any rule they've previously set to get just a bit further ahead than others.

Well yeah, that's their rule. "Fuck y'all" and "Anything to get me ahead".

They're lawful only because they write the laws.
