@matrix this is also what happened in Russia w/ the collapse of the USSR. The most powerful criminal and intelligence groups are the ones who wound up with the power, and established the foundation for the existing government
@matrix lynch mob at least is an honest name 💁
@matrix 1 Samuel 8:7 And the Lord said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.
God says ftp and fuck the state, but slobs just can't stop sucking the boot. (He also says obey the state because you should lay in the bed you make).
@matrix you don't replace the police with anything. Once the top gang (the police) becomes weak, the resultant power vacuum will be filled by the next most powerful organization in all likelihood. We saw very clear signs of this sort of thing w/ MS 13 taking responsibility for distribution of vaccines and medical supplies in some South American nations in which they held more regional power than the governments. Whichever gang is most powerful claims moral authority and enforces it's own laws, through it's own methods
