Jury trials force more careful deliberation of facts, and reduce risks of intimidation, misleading, and bribery from the pool. By no means perfect, they reduce impulsivity and lack of evidence, the 2 primary issues of mob justice.

When it comes to interpersonal disputes, community members stepping up could be as effective as cops.

…mob justice is rarely ever a good idea, and best avoided if at all possible, excluding cases where the legal systems have blatantly failed. I feel that may fly too close to that, depending on how it’s organized.

The people bring the violence to organized crime as much as the organized crime brings the violence to people.

That’s a complete fantasy. People don’t rape, don’t assault, others because of only money. Yes, capitalism increases those harms. But drug addicts will exist in any society, for a variety of reasons, as long as drugs are possible to access (so off the bat there is questionable), and you can do harm reduction for that. But beyond that, there people out there who get a power high off of abusive others. There will still be that crime.

I’m well aware of everything you said, I just have a bit less faith in the default good of humanity. There will still be abusers and rapists.

I have to admit we need arms and to train and organise ourselves well. Not voting has never helped do anything (unless if a minimum turnout is necessary to validify the results), other than democracies strongly disapproving of results.

Of course. To defeat fascism, at a minimum we need to be doing protests that have a real threat behind them. A lot harder to break up a crowd when we have assault rifles.

You need some law enforcement. There will always be violent criminals, no matter what form of society you want. They’re poisonous and awful, and the system should be burned to the ground---- but we will need a replacement.

Getting dms is fun. They like not to respond when I respond back which is less fun

More like people realized it’s easier to stab your boss and win if you got a group backing you

I do mind if they’re spent subsidizing Walmart’s shit paay

Even absurdism is still emo.

As someone with severe adhd, I will absolutely maintain that it’s a mindset issue. I don’t think it makes it harder to derive pleasure from a job well done. I think it disrupts the ability to connect that feedback to doing that task in a way that changes the amount of effort to do that task again in the future

Fuck that sands like a great mid step on the way to full Communism. Even just the part of forcing there to always be an accountable person would be amazing and fix so many issues.

I’ve always found the other half of American exceptiolism to be equally stupid;the opinion that America is the worst country ever, ir, exceptionally evil or bad among history.

That graph only shows how improvements in manufacturing resulted in cheaper prices… Not exactly showing quality.

Thorough? Excuse me, but the only thing the mod stated was 10 characters w/ a sign with their username on it. That’s barely if any verification

I’ve found people who are consistently late do not respect others.

Yup. Most people think they’re middle class. Not many actually are

I took. > Incorrectly think they’re middle class

As to assume you didn’t. But clearly my assumption was wrong

I hate the use of working class that excludes front line workers who very much still work for a living. Why call it working class if it’s just a fancy name for lower class instead of fully including all workers?

Already used it all earlier in the year. Union treats me right.

Unfortunately work does not allow skirts due to safety hazards so I would have to pass unless that 1k comes with health insurance… (Thanks usa)
