The most timeless legal principle is that the law is established for the sake of human beings. If the state creates these lex cogit ad impossibilia situations ("you need the ID to get the ID") then the state is fine un-personing them. This is the creation of a "death world" in necropolitics.

I made a short film about losing my wallet while legally homeless in the US—& the bureaucratic, Kafka-like terror which followed to prove I existed. This is threat facing millions of USians who are legally homeless and/or unsheltered. (With @propublica.org & @brian-goldstone.bsky.social cameos)
