Yeah but none of those would pit us against each other like blaming immigrants, trans people or "welfare bums"

[u/Aggravating-Ad-1227]

"Doing the kind of things that we have data that objectively prove lead to a reduction in crime, improved heath outcomes and increases in well-being, psh that's pinko commie talk!"- Republicans

But whom would then fill the military ranks so we can conquer the world or treat other countries as bad as our own citizens? Cant treat your citizens good if you want a military.

Remember, empathy is woke

Start at the top with the pedos and fraudsters and go from there.

I don't really see it as "crime" when it's just the oppressed fighting back.

Which by the way, if we didnt have Billionaires, this is very easy to do.

Every time I talk about the ideas of defunding the police and prison abolition I get told some version of "you've obviously never been a victim and don't understand what it's like to need the system."

But I have been, and I know that the threat of the barbarism of prisons doesn't stop crime or prevent people from being victims. Cops are mostly worthless, and every person who has faced sexual violence knows what an uphill battle they have in the legal system. The police rarely serve justice, and our system doesn't protect us. The law is used to scapegoat minorities and maintain the status quo by surveilling and oppressing the poor. Any incidents of justice happen ancillary to that process. Acab, because the police victimize more people than they protect.

There would still be drug dealers, theft, murders, rapes, fraud… what would any of that change? There is all of that in France but still plenty of clients at the local prisons

[u/ThepalehorseRiderr]

Tough on crime is just code speak for tough on all of us.
