Nah, laws & contracts do get enforced. It's happened many times before.
When the power differential is close, sure.
But we dont live in a society like you're thinking of anymore, if we ever did

Absolutely. The compunction of individuals within the systems we criticize is our protection against the system we criticize. If not for the US justice system Trump would be Kapital K King. But that self sustaining system is actively under attack and weakens by the day.
