My thoughts and desires.
Fuck the police.
Bulllshit, I want police, if you want a society with no accountability try Somalia their "police" are simply those warlords with paid goons to protect their tribal gangs.
I want police but with accountability. It is fucking nonsense not to want that. If you get assault by your neighbor, you think we should be the wild west and have duels at sunrise?
Fuck corruption sure, fuck abuse of power sure, but no that is absolute nonsense to not want police at all. Go live in a poor third world country where people have more street crime and corrupt law then come back here and tell me you don't want government to call if someone steals your shit or physically harms you.
More fucking bullshit Ayn Rand libertarian nonsense. We don't need to become Cuba or Stalin's Russia and no body wants that. But to say we should have no police at all, absurd.
There is no way to not have government. Humans will group and form power structures and social structures every single time. You merely end up with more oppressive powers or more checks on powers, but you still end up with a power structure of some kind. There is no such thing as a utopia. No police at all? Nonsense. You can only have more corrupt government or less corrupt government. You can only have more accountability or more abuse of power. But power will arise no matter the form it ends up being be it an open society or closed society.
