Defunding the police. Makes any sense to you?

I do not understand how this will help anything. This just seems so stupid to me

The world would be better for everyone with more freedom... But We must all work together, or suffer for limited resources.

We need to try to solve issues holistically. Instead of focusing on every societal issue as separate, we would have more success in solving problems addressing them as parts within interconnecting systems.

Facing chaos, contradictions, making clear plans, committing to an acceptable level of integrity, accepting responsibility.

Redefining "success" as "health" rather than "wealth", and considering human rights on a global scale rather than reserving those rights only for certain people.

(Idk, I'm an idealist totally dissatisfied with the state of the world and too small to fight it on the front lines doing good work every single day)

Oh and to answer your question... To solve the issue of policing we must rethink the entire notion of what it means to be civilized!! Are we big enough to manage that?
People commit murder and crime all the time. @lovelywarpedlemon
@Spoiledbrat I'm in no illusion of safety
@lovelywarpedlemon

That is socialism and globalism ... the answer is no and "absolutely no"

Peddle it somewhere else

Not interested

And not only that .... it has never EVER worked

I will stick with life, liberty and my INDIVIDUAL right to pursue happiness, including my right to define what happiness is .... wealth or health or worship.

But nice try at pushing Marxism
@questionWeaver fuck your hotkey bullshit
@lovelywarpedlemon Thank you ... Peace of the Lord ... you have an interesting approach to working together and civility

Apologies for being offending
@questionWeaver go spit on someone else
@questionWeaver you are the one jumping to conclusions full of yourself bye

Why not do that and live in a country that allows pregnant women time off work instead of labeling them "disabled"?

Why not have a country that actually cares about the state of the people
@questionWeaver my initial reaction is anger because you guys are so weasly and passive and backhanded then when people lash out you think it's the perfect example to gloat

You actually get off on other people being miserable which is why you need to constantly look for anything related to what you refer to as Marxism and socialism, by the way did you know public transport is SoCiALISt??

Ppl are suffering but you are okay with the way things are because you are not affected, you are privileged

If you reduce people to a name, Snowflake, it makes it not so bad right??
@lovelywarpedlemon who are the "you guys" I am grouped with?

As to mass ground transit ... you are correct, it is socialist ... but, I can be respectful ... if a town I do not live in, likes mass transit ... I am all good with that.
