Yes, the police go around shooting and abducting people and taking their possessions, but if we didn’t have them we’d have gangs going around shooting and abducting people and taking their possessions.
I feel like we are just a few years away from having to have papers to be alive.
I mean if not having them can already get you sent to a prison camp in a foreign country for life, or if being a citizen of the wrong country can get you killed in your sleep and then the empire will act as if you didn’t ever exist, it really isn’t a stretch.

Cops in the USA, as well as being scum, are terrified. The population has almost no access to mental health care, near unlimited access to guns, and many reasons to not trust the police. The police are also trained as “warriors” instead of guardians with a us vs them mentality. I’d imagine besides the legal ramifications, Uk and Eu police are just not as scared shitless and therefore don’t start popping off when an acorn hits their car or a 13 year old has a stick.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is it weird to simultaneously feel love and hatred towards parents?English
5·11 months agoIt’s not weird. I would affirm yourself that they did not do everything right, and the things you’re angry about you have good reason to be. But let the anger and hate fade. They were probably trying their best. And the older you get the more you realize that we are all winging it. Now that you are an adult you can set healthy boundaries and interact with them on your own terms.
There’s some stockholm syndrome between children and parents and I think it’s natural to get angry as you move past that. But as an adult you can have a relationship with them where you see them more as flawed peers than omnipotent parents. Of course not everyone will want to have that relationship, but if you can and want to then I think it’s worth it.

5·1 year agoI saw your incorrect comment on top and though “what is this, reddit?”.
Then you owned up to it and thanked him for the info. Nope! Definitely not reddit.


I wholeheartedly agree with this. But what about nontraditional marketing? Should be some ways to market to the desired audience?
