"Police abolitionist" genius has a revelation that being safe without police is as simple as permanently getting rid of all crime

A public defender in NYC thinking prisons should be abolished is some kind of next level Stockholm syndrome.

Why? They don’t want their clients in prison.

They're public defenders, they don't really have "clients" in the traditional sense. And it's NY, you're not going to prison short of a violent felony and they get cashless bail no matter what.

You’re not a lawyer. You sound stupid. PDs are all weirdo abolitionists and yeah they call them “clients.” What else would they call them?

This is capeshits fault. These people act as if it’s always a societal problem and that there’s never just bad people. That thread is full of mental manlets.

Exactly, I wish they would make these morons spend a month in County and really get to know these people they plan on "rehabilitating".

People often ask, "who will stop violent crime if there are no police?" OP of the thread checkmates these people by informing them that they would simply teach people not to commit crimes:

Who are you going to call when [insert crime] happens if we abolish the police is not a gotcha. In that hypothetical, the crime already happened, the police neither prevented or stopped it. Abolition is about prevention, its about changing the conditions that lead to crime

A resident of the area on the left end of the bell curve responds:

People in America really forget things happen for reasons & because of toxic ass propaganda they think in terms of "good" & "bad" instead of causes & solutions.

I'm so tired of the idea that everything is a social construct, therefore NOTHING means ANYTHING. Don't you have to have a construct of good or bad in order to determine what problems need solutions? It's almost as if there are certain near-universal values, like that murder is wrong, that conferred an evolutionary and social advantage to humans, which is why they exist today...

A rape victim asks:

This is a serious question. I was raped. How could ANYONE have prevented that? The guy was a bad person. He didn't rape me to meet his survival needs. Until people no longer cave to their worst instincts, we'll need something police-like.

Average Twitter user responds to this LITERAL rape victim by saying that they wouldn't mind an increase in rape if it meant no police:

The police out there getting ALMOST 5% of rapists off the streets. Whatever would we do without them?

For some perspective, this person is saying that an extra 6,000 women being raped per year in the US is worth not having police. God I fucking hate Twitter.

One of the replies is a hefty woman saying “she’s probably lying”. 🐴 👞 theory?

Absolutely. If you intend to do something good for society, you can now do absolutely whatever you want and discard all of your moral values in order to achieve it. We've abandoned being patient and doing net good for the world and replaced it with doing tiny gross positives with overall net negatives. Internet politics today boils down to "I am literally incapable of understanding other people's points of view, so anyone who disagrees with me is a Nazi fascist Hitler 2.0 or an SJW communist who wants to torture Christian babies".

Politics isn't about ideology anymore, it's about being right or wrong. That's why the ends of the horseshoe act like this, because they are so drunk on politics that they cannot fathom another human being having a different set of experiences and a different opinion based on that. I never thought I'd vouch for anthropology, but moral and cultural relativism NEED to be taught to kids to prevent the horseshoe from closing further. People need to understand the universal truth that their own opinions are highly biased by their unique personal experiences, and that this makes all humans naturally wrong sometimes.

Consoom pop ideology, get excited for the next pop ideology. You will be assigned a ideology monthly by those whom you relate to or those with whom you share a common trait. It is strictly forbidden to look at the facts first without first reading (and agreeing with) the opinions of your in-group.

It's about prevention? How would you completely prevent a crime, unless you go all Minority Report on your citizens?

Not even Mainland China had this sort of control over its populace, and that place is already a nightmare.

These people have no idea what they are wishing for. They are extremely evil if they do.

I can't decide if they're evil or just unfathomably naive. Like do they genuinely believe that they can engineer a society where out of three hundred million beings with free will, not a single one will ever use their free will to chose to take advantage of another person?

The belief that any negative human trait must come from society is absurd. Countless species have evolved negative behaviors toward each other stealing, fighting, and in some cases even rape (male ducks), because although these actions hurt others, they benefit the individual in some way. A biological or evolutionary origin does not excuse these actions, but it means that they do occur naturally in the population, and not because of "society". To believe that humans or any other species are biologically wired to universally kind and selfless is ridiculous. They're factually not.

They are evil. Even their favorite guy Hitler thought he was doing the right thing, but overall good intentions does not absolve one of evil actions. There's no excuse for ignorance here because they're not children. No adult could possibly believe that we can rewire all humans to be le wholesome good Christians without understanding the horrific cost that would incur.

Are we just going to execute dissidents? How else do you get 7.7 billion people to believe the exact same thing? Western (Wo)man's Burden, I guess.

The road to hell is paved in good intentions.

Also lmao at people being this r-slurred

No adult could possibly believe that we can rewire all humans to be le wholesome good

Le internet communists have arrived.

Also, I wonder how they plan to deal with any hecking fascists? Agajnst them for some reason their tolerance finds a quick end and the inner wanna-be-Stalin comes out. How's that work without police?

Rape probably gives you an evolutionary advantage. It doesn't matter if it hurts someone, you have fathered more children. Apparently 1 in 200 men are direct descendants of Genghis Khan.

actually morality doesn't have anything to do with evolution it has to do with the will of allah

Finally some sense, thank you for your wisdom brother

I love when redditors splice their own overly long arguments with equally overly long arguments from whatever equally r-slurred person they’re arguing with. Resulting in a borderline-schizoid back-and-forth, doubly overlong and unreadable seriouspost.

Thank you, this is exactly what I was aiming for. Drama had been lacking in posters of the schizo- and sneed- varieties recently, so I decided to fill that niche.

That’s the sad part bro, this shit is all over Reddit. When drama was quarantined it had way less of this shit, it was a break from everywhere else on this site.

Schizoposters are some of arrgh drama's most valuable assets. I unironically believe this sub needs more people ranting and raving. Not coping or seething, but the kind of unhinged stuff that can only come from poor medication compliance. I can't remember who it was, but someone on this sub decided to go off their meds for the drama and because that's the nature of fellow schizos. I miss that.

OUTOUTOUT

I for one am in favor of abolishing the police in order to carry out my dream of leading an ultra violent vigilante mob of Wild West justice.

!emojify

Genuinely surprised the racists don't just say their bigotry is a result of their society and uwu themselves out of it.

If they want to be deterministic about their flaws, why shouldn't everyone else?

WORDS WORDS WORDS

"I'm so tired of [...]

Goddamn this sub has become shit.

Suck my dick, it's a Tuesday.

I know this is very low quality drama, and I'm sorry for that, but I've got better stuff coming than my recent bout of Adderall-fueled copeposting. There's been a lot of seethe/whining posts here lately that people hardly even comment on, so I figured I'd put a little effort in to stir up a little some activity on our poor, castrated arrrdrama.

everyone knows that my preferred political system will have no crime

Just make crime illegal lmao

Hahahahahahahaha How The Fuck Is Violent Crime Real Hahahaha Neighbor Just Walk Away From The Murderer Like Neighbor Close Your Blinds Haha

Snappy pls

just abolish laws that way they'll be no crime

There would be no crime if we loved in a pre-agrarian society where people lived in caves and the only personal belongings were the wolf and mammoth pelts on their backs tbqhwyfam. Just saying.

Are the factors the led to it something that could be addressed by society?

Why do people like this always test others' arguments under conditions that could never happen in their lifetime? How can they possibly believe that it's possible to eliminate every single societal problem in a country of three hundred million?

Also they act like all crimes have some clear, rational motivation. I'm sure society will have such a successful time "addressing" the guy having his first psychotic break who is trying to get inside your house or whatever. These people have clearly never had to care for someone with a severe mental illness

It's very simple, comrade. Once the socialist revolution happens and everyone has access to free vidya, free house, free food and not having to work then there will be no more crime and everyone will be happily eating tendies with government mandated gf. Who would commit crime under those circumstances???

Oh did I forget to mention capitalism is the root of all mental illness? If no more capitalism then mental illness goes poof.

They're the worst kinds of college-cels, the ones that think they're knowledgeable while having learned nothing from their shitty meme-degree. For that reason they're also generally college communists. Bummunism is the perfect ideology for university students. It works great in a theoretical lab abstraction and these idiots are too sheltered to understand why it doesn't translate into real life.

I think sophomoric is the term you're looking for.

All these hypotheticals are always non-violent. The man steals because he is poor, so give him food. Okay. How would they spin a man murdering 2 parents and kidnapping, raping, and torturing a 10 year-old girl because he thinks she’s hot? There is no “solving” or “factoring” that equation that doesn’t involve isolating him from society so that he doesn’t cause more harm and creating “patrolling people” to look out for loitering pervs.

The state of these people’s minds. They almost seem to have created a “noble criminal” trope in their heads and apply it to every situation.

What's a serial killer? I don't think there's people who actively enjoy torture or murder, that would just be awful! There's only poor, poor misguided boys. What do you mean where's my sympathy for murder victims?

Silver-spoon urbanites should not be allowed to have opinions on politics. People who live in such a cushy, easy world should not be talking about what to do with the worst of the worst because chances are they have never and will never deal this people like that.

It is a foundational view of these types of leftists that humans have no innate nature and their characteristics are changeable with enough representative TV shows and injections of cash.

Man is perfectable to them.

I unironically hope that all cops just resign and we get to see this world without them

In Montreal cops went on strike for a day and a ton of banks were robbed lmao, they banned them from striking again

God, even the frogs across the pond are incapable of not striking.

"When we said defund we didn't actually mean defund. We meant that we want to redistribute some funding!!!"

These people just want police abolished cause they're into some sketchy shit. Anyway their argument falls apart when you ask them how racist people going on a murderous rampage would be dealt with.

Anyway their argument falls apart when you ask them how racist people going on a murderous rampage would be dealt with.

But crime will never happen when BLM initiate the global utopia, that is why we don't need police, prisons, courts or laws. Or at least this is what I learned from Patrisse Cullors.

Thinking the only reason people commit crime is because of inequality is the most teenage white girl belief ever.

These people don't understand two basic concepts. The idea of easy money, and the idea of a crippling drug addiction. Either would lead to robbery. Fucking idiots

Not if we gave people free money and drugs, idiot.

We should abolish the police, but first we need to abolish tweakers.

Duterte has joined the chat.

In a speech to military leadership on July 1, Duterte told Communist rebels to "use your kangaroo courts to kill them to speed up the solution to our problem". On July 2, the Communist Party of the Philippines stated that it "reiterates its standing order for the NPA to carry out operations to disarm and arrest the chieftains of the biggest drug syndicates, as well as other criminal syndicates involved in human rights violations and destruction of the environment"

😮

Imagine not wanting to commit crime lmao. Crime is fun, that's why we do it.

The irony is that they all shoplift because it is “cool” and easy. They literally, in their own lives, have an example of someone who will do crime not because it is necessary but because they want to.

What are the odds that i check her profile header there will be a patreon/pateron equivalent or a book for sale.

Oh god its even worse. She's a freelance j*urnalist.

“We need to teach men to not rape” used to be an extremist, misandrist position used to demonise men for a small part of the population. Now it’s weird to see this used as basically a misogynistic argument for letting rapists run free, it went from “all men are potential rapists” to “rapists aren’t actually that bad, guys, we need to abolish police and then they’ll behave”. In my opinion as a pretty feminist guy I think preventing rapes would be as easy as giving every woman a gun at the age of eighteen. I think most women would use them responsibly

The Democrats really need to get these people under control, they only stoked this anti-police narrative to get votes but now the progressive base seems to have really seized it and won’t let go. Unironically despite not liking it I prefer neoliberalism to any form of libertarianism until crazy people like this are no longer advocating for the latter. People who sit on Twitter all day, benefiting from this capitalist system more than some MAGA hat-wearing manual worker, shouldn’t be shittalking it when in any other system they’d have to get a real job

In my opinion as a pretty feminist guy

Creep

Lol yeah it’s only something I’d admit to online. It’s like being a brony but for politics

But why though? “We need to teach men to not rape” is literally a feminist position. Demonizing men for a small part of the population is what feminists did after the Sarah Everard case. Men and women are generally equal in western societies, yet feminists refuse to acknowledge men's issues, even doing shit like petitioning to keep rape laws gendered and to remove funds from male domestic violence victims.

Yeah but luckily misandrist feminists are also heavily trainphobic and are killing their credibility by focusing on the idea that letting a 🚂 pee sitting will lead to rape

Acting like non-terfs don't hate men just as much lol

That’s true but the train-friendly ones are pushovers anyway that will give up positions of power to them easily. So it all sorts itself out in a way. Basically replace women with trains and we’ll get the arslashdrama gay utopia

I've always said men make the best women

Look up the most horrific cases of women raping men and then say again that it's a good idea to arm half the population for no reason. They're just as subsceptible to power drunkness as everyone is.

Europoor detected? You say that like any woman who wants to rape you can’t go out and get a gun anyways lmao.

Surely wouldn't be the same as being handed one by the government without coming up with the idea yourself though right? The trashy subreddits is chuck full of women who would definitely not do anything stupid with a gun.

I mean there’s saying people will do something stupid with a gun, and then there’s suggesting that (borderline non-existent) gun control is the only thing keeping women from going around raping dudes at gunpoint.

Wasn't meant to suggest that. I mentioned the raping to break this weird feeling everyone appears to have that "the women population doesn't feature a crazy inept and dangerous portion like the men population does". I can't imagine any other reasoning for thinking "let's give every woman a gun lol. That seems reasonable".

I think he was being facetious, but I don’t think it’s inaccurate to say that women as a group are less criminally-inclined than men or that those women who would rape you at gunpoint can easily get a gun anyways.

Less violently criminal in the sense of murders and robberies, perhaps. Depending on who you ask domestic violence percentages are similar, as the debate around it fuels this subreddit as well.

Let's assume you're right. That still means you sacrifice the victims of violent crimes committed by the gals that wouldn't have happened if they weren't given a gun, for the hypothetical benefit of less rape on girls. x amounts of headlines of a gal that shot some engineer because "he was raping me with his eyes" instead of y amount of headlines with "Dude rapes woman, gets jailed" (and potentially z amount of headlines saying "I didn't have a gun, so I stabbed his eyes with my fingers lol"). I don't think the use of it is entirely obvious.

You’re sitting here making up a scenario where a bunch of women go around raping men and gunning people down in the streets and are now crying about this made-up scenario in response to an obvious shitpost made about Bird App people saying we should abolish police.

Maybe opening this sub back up was a mistake. Aghghghgrrrr mensrights is that way sweaty 👉

Heh. Fair enough. No hard feelings sweaty 💅

I agree, but my idea was sort of that if women had guns men would either have another gun or the upper body strength to disarm them so it’d even the playing field that women can’t be equal in due to the lack of physical strength. Of course this is a bonkers idea that’d never work but dw I wasn’t going off the premise of all women being angels when I threw out my meme law

I consider this thought that "rape can be prevented by physical strength" to be misleading. I mentioned in a reply below that any woman who isn't paralysed from neck down can basically stab someones eyes. Being raped is mostly headgame, which also explains why "men can't get raped" is complete nonsense. Victims of rapists, apart from those drugged, tend to be tender and timid and unwilling to hurt others as far as I can tell. I'll give you that - placing a weapon in the hands of people might discourage some idiots from trying to rape them.

That’s true. It was a dumb, meme idea anyway that I only break out facetiously. But unironically I do think that we should encourage women in general to be willing to buy guns like men do, and to teach appropriate gun safety as well

Huh? What are you even referring to?

I mean to suggest giving someone a gun for no reason isn't a good idea generally. It opens up the possibility for them to do nonsense with it. As evidence thereof I state that horrific women like rapists exist.

I'm sorry I just don't understand how that connects to specifically female rapists. Like I understand the point you're making about guns, but I have no idea what that has to do with "horrific women like rapists".

There would be no more rape with government mandated girlfriends comrade 😡

I think most women would use them responsibly

???? Most gussy can't even use the fronthole they're born with responsible!

Ok - so this scenario happened to me and my kids. Middle of the night, some guy starts trying to kick down our back door. I can hear he’s high or crazy or something because he’s barking and howling like a madman. Called the cops, door held, he was still doing it when they arrived

So, cops did stop that in-progress crime, and I don’t want to think what would’ve happened if he got in. When the cop came he assaulted the cop, they called an ambulance for him, he assaulted an EMT. But - he wasn’t shot and killed, so he know from that he was white.

Furthermore - they decided not to file charges, since he was a “good kid who had a bad trip”. I mean - if that was a black kid, he’d be dead or facing a couple decades in prison. Anyway - cops do sometimes stop crimes, but that is a minority of the time.

And this was a privileged white kid, so not sure what the root cause would’ve been. I favor a ‘near’ abolition of police- a small force to respond to things in progress, other forces, detectives, social workers, for other issues, and a major investment in social programs.

As thrilling as that story was why type it when you can say "I have a serious case of mayo guilt and thank you for saving me police".

I favor a ‘near’ abolition of police- a small force to respond to things in progress, other flrces, detectives...

This guy reinvented the police force. He knows most of them just work traffic and desk jobs right? Leave it to a mayo to try to policesplain.

police abolitionism would probably work just fine if everyone owned a gun and wore them always there were no guns in cowboy times and look how good blazing saddles is that movie is poggers so yeah abolish police yeehaw

If SOMEHOW they got rid of police, everyone would flee the cities, and rural and suburban areas would create strong militias to enforce strict laws probably with even less accountability than police have, and I doubt these areas would let a bunch of the average city folk in, probably just the wealthy ones. Police abolition would ironically give the average rural/suburban conservative so much power

That's dangerously close to seriousposting and agendaposting at the same time. Need some QC in here.

Ohh man, she got them taters.

mmmm mommy I love mommy milkers big wide milky taters like tendies, so big and good.

I hope Americans will actually go through have some states going for police abolition. I can't wait how much drama and schadenfreude will be on the shelves.

Imagine thinking that if police cant minority report criminals then they are useless lol

I think most crime stems from mental illness psychopathic and sociopathic tendencies.

Obviously there's a myriad of crimes committed everyday by pretty much everyone because we live in a complex world with many laws.

But most of the heinous crimes are committed by people with certain predispositions and I doubt there's any way to really ever change that short of possibly customizing fetuses and plucking out bad genes.

Why not just make crime illegal?

Yeah instead of calling the Police, Maggie would start calling uncle Doyle and his various machine guns.

Why didn’t we think of this before?!?!!

Those choccy milkers tho
