Very interesting, thank you for this input. This is the kind of insight I was looking for. I guess I was focused on this part:
It doesn't mean I think every cop is personally bad in their ~~private~~ professional life.
But as you say, merely participating in the system makes them bad. Not individually, but as a concept.
In that case, I think it's important not to blame the cops, but the system. Because we all know there are many of them who are not trying to uphold the unjust laws, but the just laws. Sometimes in life you have to take the good with the bad, and surely that is what many officers are doing.
All those individuals are trying to do is make a positive impact on their community, and protect its members.
So in this type of reasoning, I think we're putting the focus on the wrong thing, the cops. Whereas we should be putting the focus on regulators, law makers, etc.
Just give your answer anyways, you don't need their permission.
Very true. I wish they would've done that instead of immediately low-key insulting me.
I believe that ACAB
Okay, I'll listen to your reasoning if you're willing to share. π
All within your right.
So the level of professionalism is... Expert. Not "Pro"?
I gotta teach my wife this word.
We all choose to believe what we choose to believe. π
I'm not talking about the ideology here, I'm talking about the linguistics of it all, specifically about the word "Nazism". π
He's my generation. That's what we did in the dawn of the internet when web email was new and shit. Everybody has "coolname87" "dogshit89", "hipguy88" as their username. It's not such a wild idea.
Tangential: shouldn't it be "Naziism"? Like, in "Nazi" the "i" belongs to "Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei", or the "Natioβ" part. But shouldn't there be another "i" that goes with the "ism" suffix, so "Naziism"? Am I thinking about it in the wrong way?
I can't quit Facebook, there's so many people that I need to sell off my old shit to on Marketplace. π«
That's why I subscribe not to topics, but to interests. It doesn't solve the problem but it puts me with more interesting content and like-minded people, hopefully. Then again I don't want to be in a bias bubble...
