I really like the idea of a landlord devil.
I'd watch the shit out of Chainsawman vs Tom Nook!
it's power is to evict you. from this plane of existence
I don't think i get why people hate cops. I live in a country with a great deal of police violence that is not the united states.
We won't be better without the police, not having police won't solve our violence or our crime rate. Having better social programs, and better investment in education will.
Police exist to perpetuate the power of those at the top and to repress the people. It is a lie that they exist to defend civilians. They are a means of taking power away from civilians and making us dependent on the state.
What happens then when something bad happens ? I mean, imagine I get stolen from, beaten, humiliated, etc. I will still need to see someone with some kind of power to do something to make myself whole and hopefully avoid it being repeated on someone else. How do we deal with that without any kind of police ?
The police represent the state’s monopoly over organized violence. If you get rid of the police then what you have is called a failed state and a power vacuum. What happens then? Read about cartel-controlled areas of Mexico, warlord-controlled areas in Central African Republic, jihadist-controlled areas of Nigeria or Syria, or criminal gang-controlled areas in Haiti for examples.
Don’t get me wrong. The police in the US are quite bad. But things could be so much worse. I’m talking about guys driving around in pickup trucks with machine guns mounted on the backs, firing indiscriminately into crowds of people and homes and public places. Mass kidnappings, massacres, rape as a weapon of war. This is ugly, horrific stuff.
Police are the knights of the capitalist era, both in function and how we foolishly valorize them.
I've heard it called a luxury issue by some. As in an issue that privileged people take up because they already have the privilege of safety and order.
I mean yeah cops disproportionately target certain groups of people. Their training sucks and has the added bonus of making them trigger happy schizos who see crime and offence where it doesn't exist. But also I think it's pretty obvious that there needs to be some sort of law enforcement/peace keeping group.
Police reform? I can get behind that. Abolishing police? Sounds kinda dumb.
If you're looking for an apartment try searching for housing co-ops.
They operate as non-profit so the rent is lower, and if you have problems they tend to be easier to work with as well
