| averagejoel 12/03/20 9:04:10 AM #279 | Veggeta X posted... They are slogans but they have meaning and are very easy to interpret whether you agree with them or not.but they're easy to interpret any way you want to interpret them. and that's the problem definitely asks for something but not in a hostile reactional way that you far lefties like.what does "hostile reactional" mean exactly? You people literally want to serve justice through fear and think you're the good guys.not sure where you got this idea, but it's completely wrong You literally and technically can't be a progressive if you're going to use the same tyrannical tactics as the opposition. It's high time you guys realize this.saying "defund the police" is a tyrannical tactic? --- peanut butter and dick |

NPR - Police Viewed Less Favorably, But Few Want To 'Defund' Them, Survey Finds25% is quite a large portion of the population. if memory serves, 25% is roughly the portion of the population that voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016 (about 50% of americans voted, and about 50% of the votes went to her) now, what percentage of people running for office had "reduce police funding" as one of their positions? I don't know the answer to that, but I bet it's nowhere close to 25%. if I had to guess, I would say it's probably closer to 1% so based on those results, I would conclude that defunding the police as a political position is underrepresented in candidates running for office --- peanut butter and dick |

Just because you choose to be a cop doesn't mean you choose to blindly follow the inherent flaws that comes with being a cop.right. most cops actively embrace them You can believe whatever you want.

Not all people don't become a cop thinking "Well I know this shit is bad so imma join it!".cool. the fact remains that all cops actively choose to become cops. the facts that I posted in post 86 also still remain: 1. laws of society are written by the people in power, and used to exert their will on others 2. the architects of this system owned private property (that is, something that passively makes them money) and wrote these laws to benefit their own interests. the people in power, by and large, still own private property (though now it tends to be rented housing units rather than slaves) 3. the role of the police is to uphold and enforce laws. all laws. they agree to do this as part of the terms of their employment. also, you might want to proofread your posts before posting them --- peanut butter and dick |

I don't see how this has anything to do with differentiating what you can and can't monolith.it's the train of thought that leads to the "All Cops Are Bastards" saying This is basically saying cops are bad just being cops regardless of their intention.yes, it is. and yes, they are. This is akin to saying we're all sinners by basically being humans. What a justification.the key difference here is that all cops actively choose to be cops --- peanut butter and dick |

| averagejoel 12/02/20 11:30:11 AM #81 | Veggeta X posted... Oh I'd love for you to explain this.1. laws of society are written by the people in power, and used to exert their will on others 2. the architects of this system owned private property (that is, something that passively makes them money) and wrote these laws to benefit their own interests. the people in power, by and large, still own private property (though now it tends to be rented housing units rather than slaves) 3. the role of the police is to uphold and enforce laws. all laws. they agree to do this as part of the terms of their employment. "All Cops Are Bastards" is not blaming all cops for the actions of a few; it's recognizing that all cops agreed to uphold all laws, including those that are unjust or cruel or otherwise harmful to the people who are not in power. --- peanut butter and dick |

It's taking steps backwards and it hurts progression. Doing this don't make you the good guy at all.republicans will get more ammo regardless of what democrats do. that's how they operate. and "defund" is neither extreme nor absolute. "abolish" is. no mainstream politician in the US is calling for abolition. but it is the ultimate goal of the protests --- peanut butter and dick |

It might be a net progressive transfer of wealth, but it's hard to say because people in every income bracket use period products."giving poor people money" is, functionally, the government giving money to the corporations that sell period products. the corporation is an unnecessary middle man --- peanut butter and dick |
