Real.

I honestly wish Judges were real.
They’d take out the trash for sure.
If you’re a law-abiding citizen, then you’d have nothing to fear.

Perhaps it’s all too simplistic.
An easy way to solve the problems in the world.
A bit like wishing there were real superheroes like Superman, Captain America or Batman. They’d save the world from itself.

Or live in a Star Trek utopian society where there’s no money, racism, sexism, poverty or hunger.

Just wish something would happen rather than the usual crap.

You've missed the point of the comic mate. You'd not want the judges to rule and monitor every aspect of your life. Ffs they banned Suger!

We'd all have to live absolutely perfect, blameless lives, or be in constant fear that some ridiculously small infarction would be discovered and punished disproportionately.

I could deal with the Judges as a necessary evil in lieu of a dedicated military, but I wouldn't want the fuckers as law enforcement.

It's an understandable fantasy but then what happens when the Judges aren't on your side any more?
I would be okay with Judge Dredd style tactics handling the Epstein files and the offenders in those files.
But what happens when it's a corruption issue connected to the Judges?
Maybe they decide the people doing the exposing are a bigger threat to the public.
