@sylveon Victims can't complain if they're dead.
@sylveon @matrix I think that, theoretically, a community being able to pool their resources together voluntarily to hire a private company to defend the community and enforce local laws, instead of relying on government police forces could work. That way, if there are instances of police brutality or abuse of power, the company can be held accountable - forced to fire and arrest those employees, or risk having their contract with the community terminated, resulting in the community hiring another company with a cleaner record. Theoretically, a small business is much more accountable to a community than the government is. On top of that, because their employees are just regular civilians, and not actual police, they lack any form of qualified immunity, would be no more militarized than any other civilian is allowed to be, and would, hopefully, cause them to feel less empowered and able to get away with abuses of power. It could potentially be an alternative solution to policing which would hopefully be more cost efficient and with abuse.
But, that's just theory. I doubt it would actually work as well in practice, and there are numerous flaws with the idea, most of which I'm sure you're already aware of and shouldn't really need to be stated. Most notably is that the poorer and generally higher crime communities which would need higher quality, more expensive police forces the most are also likely going to be the ones least likely to be able to afford them. So I'm saying it semi-ironically, in that I think that purely theoretically it could possibly work but also that I doubt it would be an effective solution in practice.
@matrix What happened this time?
anarchoanarchism
its like regular anarchism but you also reject the notion that anarchism needs to be broken down into separate categories, and reject the authority of anyone to define any branch of anarchism. It rejects the validity of concepts like "anarchocommunism", "anarchoprimitivism", "individualist anarchism", etc and instead pushes that all anarchism is "anarchism" so anarchists should not allow themselves to be divided by minor differences in philosophy like that
@matrix Defund the police misses the point. What we should be doing is privatizing the police.
@sylveon So cute!
re: transphobia, dumb conspiracy theory
@coolboymew @riku Oh, I remember this. It was hilarious. I especially love the parts about her being both an MK Ultra slave and a cult leader with a harem of worshipers. And, of course, 👌 being a satanist symbol somehow.
@sylveon Tasers can kill too.
I've heard that in some cases, it's because the person was on drugs which helped them resist the effects of being tased, which could also be responsible for their aggression, but I don't know how true or common that would be.
It could be related to that mysterious phenomenon where the bodycams suddenly stop recording just before alleged police brutality happens.

@riku I wish I could pass that well.
