Strangely, these are the same policies pursued by all governments world wide, almost as if they were executing a coordinated plan.

The Jakob Blakes and Kyle Rittenhouses of the world are totally irrelevant, a theater to distract the common folk from the real problems and convince them to give up their civil liberties. Of course, the common folk are the common folk precisely because they are incapable of understanding who their real enemies are under this barrage of propaganda. And so the world lurches onward . . .

there's no need to be so mysterious about it. the plan is called "imperialism" and it's been on display at your local library for over a century.

Economically, the main thing in this process is the displacement of capitalist free competition by capitalist monopoly. Free competition is the basic feature of capitalism, and of commodity production generally; monopoly is the exact opposite of free competition, but we have seen the latter being transformed into monopoly before our eyes, creating large-scale industry and forcing out small industry, replacing large-scale by still larger-scale industry, and carrying concentration of production and capital to the point where out of it has grown and is growing monopoly: cartels, syndicates and trusts, and merging with them, the capital of a dozen or so banks, which manipulate thousands of millions. At the same time the monopolies, which have grown out of free competition, do not eliminate the latter, but exist above it and alongside it, and thereby give rise to a number of very acute, intense antagonisms, frictions and conflicts. Monopoly is the transition from capitalism to a higher system.

More cunning insights from paranoid idiots. God damn israel!!! Arghh! I am super concerned about human rights violations by the least-human-rights violating country in the middle east!

I'm super concerned about black lives, by focusing on the .05% of times black lives are lost (by the cops) and have no regard whatsoever for the specific details of those police encounters! Argh! Here are some cool buzzwords too: fascism, racial justice, institutional oppressions and structural racisms etc..

Really getting great work done and making positive changes with this stuff.

Would you mark state-on-civilian violence any different than civ v civ?

I consider civ on civ worse, because it's not your job to inflict violence when forced to, you *choose* to do it. You make the choice to do it. The state monopoly on violence is what allowed this dumb country to exist that you're currently posting in. Societies where there are no clear cut rules about who gets to kill or harm other people exist for a blink of an eye, because self interest overrides everything else from an evolutionary standpoint.

Being more outraged when a cop fucks up and performs a bad shoot, which *almost never happens*, is completely incoherent. If your neighbor decides to rob you, you call the cops. Or ya know, rambo out like a tough guy as if you aren't also a human, just like cops are, just like everyone else is.

Can the civilians withdraw consent to the monopoly if the state uses it unjustly?

Define unjustly. Police should absolutely be held accountable, which they often aren't, and police shootings should be investigated by a 3rd party rather than an internal "investigation" by the department in question. I totally support those things. So is the system perfect? No. Should we do away with it completely? Obviously no.

Here are some of the proposals put forward by blm:

Replace cops with social workers. Good luck dealing with domestic violence or an armed robbery or hostage situation.

Replace cops with uhhhh, a "citizen force" (AKA cops). Brilliant stuff.

Advocating for utopian ideals is pointless because everyone has a different idea of what constitutes a utopia. And the only way to achieve any particular version of utopia is to kill everyone who doesn't go along with it. Don't make the perfect the enemy of the good and all that. We've had it pretty god damn good historically speaking since the civil rights movement made it's great successes, but leave it to us to fuck it all up again.

Oh I guess he deserves it then, and there's no possible way he can redeem himself, by say providing medical aid to people who he knows already hate him. I'm sure your track record is spotless. Get back to me when you give a shit about biological males beating the shit out of women in mma or track or literally anything else. Nothing political going on here at all!
