    Those power hungry people who WOULD have become cops just to bully people, are just going to do it without a badge, and we’d find ourselves in a modern wild west. Whoever has the gun, will make the rules. Even the facade of regulation we have now would be gone.

    I’m not trying to be rude but this is exactly what’s happening rn in the US with ICE agents and their mercenaries.

    they’re not able to commit the deportations because of a lack of law enforcement, but because laws are inherently racist. this shit started before Trump took power during a “progressive” presidency like Obama’s. most people would probably agree he was following the rules of democracy yet he deported the most people.

      Relevance? Two thirds of my last comment was complaining about how fucked the system is. You don’t have to convince me of that. But, what you haven’t told me is how a world without ANY law enforcement works.

      Tell me how serial rapists are dealt with in your lawless world.

        no laws doesn’t mean no community values. victims either kill their rapist in self-defense or we all gather together to beat the rapist with a stick.

        if they hold any position of power, they’d be banned from office forever and stripped of any social capital. if they try to contact their victims again, they’re exiled.

        but most importantly, we should ask the victim what they want, short of the death penalty or torture.
