Yes, its the shitty asshole liar, not the fact our entire system of recompense and accountability is fucking unhinged. I'm so glad we agree.
And keeping that system instead of any better social fprm, well, sometimes you gotta deprive innocent usually marginalized people of their autonomy; it's just a 'cost'. Cant beat a puppy to death without havin a few orgasms, amirite?
No better option s were presented. People are just bitching with no one considering alternatives.
Actually checking the time frame of your comment a few people did give you some good replies on options even describing better systems of paper work well over an hour ago(before you made this reply)
In fact someone even pointed out how that would not hold in court either 8 hrs ago in replies. Sure, They could try to sue with such an excuse. Doesn't mean they'd be successful.
Is it annoying? Yup. But it’s part of their actual job as security. That’s the point: They are the nark. They will face this as part of their job. They were warned they would face this. They signed their name on their contract knowing this sort of shit is expected.
you’re the one who’s bitching here.
So, have you considered a society based on the concept of mutual aid?
Are you familiar with the zapatistas?
How about state communism, like they have in cuba?
Syndicalism?
How do you feel about the municipalism they're trying out over in the AANES? That looks pretty promising.
Are you familiar with the concept of restorative justice?
Or did you not actually want better options, abd that was just an excuse?
I’m being partially sincere here, but can you elaborate on how one of those would help in this situation?
Okay, before you read this, maybe smoke up and drop your fav psychadelic before reading so you can follow me here:
Imagine a way society was organized where instead of exploiting workers as much as possible to enrich literal ghouls, we either:
didnt exploit people and everything was nicer and everybody was less stressed, and we all got to do things out of curiosity and love rather than fear and hate
OR
We all agreed to be exploited for the collective good and we were all still fucked, but we were fucked to make things better for everyone instead of better for ~3000 ghoulish billionaires
So, like, whichever one you picked; imagine if you couldnt 'own' stuff you weren't using. You could, like, keep it around. Maybe you're the only person on your block with extra space, so you put the neighborhood tool library or insulin factory in your shed, but its not 'yours' in the way your toothbrush or the parts of your home you dont choose to open are yours. You certainly couldn't 'own' the house someone else lived in, or the toothbrush they use (i hope). And we could focus on the best ways to do stuff instead of only being able to have nice things as the fallout from scams, too!
I bet when you imagined that, the construct of 'blame' was less necessary, and there was no/less need to obfuscate systemic forces, so it would be much easier to take a solution focused mindset, instead of just crab bucketing each other. Right? And either way it was more egalitarian, so there was less advantage to take of one another. Right?
Listen I'm a syndicalist too, but I've seen enough interpersonal conflicts to know the instinct to find blame wont go away just because of a system based on mutual cooperation
You still live your days and rely heavily upon capitalist systems.
And i said 'less'. To the point not every system needs to be built around it.
