    It is all or nothing. I’ve been trying to drill this into the skulls of liberals and leftists for the better part of a decade and it’s still barely getting through. There is a reason we say ACAB. ALL cops are bastards.

    The police are our enemies. They protect and serve the ruling class. They will turn on us without hesitation. I am literally begging you to wake up and realize this basic truth.

      Nope. Cannot buy into that “all or nothing” scenario at all. I do agree that rich people will hire dirty thugs to protect the things they own. I think the main issue is rich people running things, not communities. I agree with your basic truth about violence ruling the world, not democracy though.

        They already did, they’re called the police!
