Here’s a cool book about it related to the meme (and it’s got an appropriate title).

The issue, as I see it, is that police only need to exist if you believe force is an acceptable way to compel people’s behavior. From a nonviolent perspective, the argument can simply end there. People do not need to be policed because force itself should not be used to compel anyone against their will.
And even if you accept the premise that force is sometimes justified, you still have to reckon with the fact that any organization sanctioned to use force will always carry the risk of being captured and repurposed for ends other than its original intent. In my view, that risk is unacceptable. So even on pragmatic grounds, it is better not to create institutions whose defining feature is the sanctioned use of force.
Self-defense is not excluded from non-violent protest.
They might not have 50 words, but he isn’t cheating.

There’s a behind the bastards about him.
Me, eating alone because no one will invite me to their holiday celebrations lest I cook another face hugger: “Ha, got 'em”

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•DAE in their 30s/40s/50s not really feel like an adult?
93·2 months ago“When do I start feeling like an adult?”
That’s the neat part! You don’t!
Need to find a place to sell all the random trash I pick up in real life.
Depression nap = I work 12 to 16 hours a day.
Anxiety = If I can’t make rent, there are no safety nets and I will end up on the streets.
Unhealthy coping Mechanisms = Affordable coping mechanisms.
Social isolation = what adult has time to make friends? Even if I did, there’s dodging the minefield of fascists in my country.
My mental health is not the issue, and I’m tired of pretending it is.
Call off the war, boys. China’s clearly won.

An artifact from the past. Even if it’s a rebranding, it’s pretty obvious to me that leftism needs to move on. Right wing ideology has evolved while left wing ideology, online at least, stays arguing over the same tired shit from 100 years ago.
But if you did all those thing, people would say that you’re putting forth a good effort, soo…
