    That explosion isn’t real, it’s not actually filmed at night, actors didn’t really get shot, isn’t filmed in real time.

    If you have to start editing the movie yourself, to make it watchable, some story teller isn’t doing their job. I guess we’re at the Ikea point of ‘movies’, some assembly required.



  • This is what Zizek is talking about, currently law and order is only used to protect the statue quo of right wing people, because the left has given up and is too scared to use the police force.

    Take the example of loud cars and motorcycles. It’s typically right wing people that drive such cars. The police don’t bother to do anything because the police sympathize with them. It would be nice if a left wing candidate said we are going to put funding to hire extra police, to confiscate all the loud cars and motorcycles bothering the good average people of the city. But, the left wing politicians are too scared to use such power.


  • That’s the problem, the only people shouting for law and order are the right wing authoritarians.

    The left has giving up on poor communities, they have no plan. This is also why people in such communities have stopped voting. No one really addresses the issue they have. Many times it’s simply a few thugs, that should go to jail, everyone knows who they are, they terrorize a neighborhood , and never seem to get busted.

    The left speaks of police reform, but gives no examples of how to accomplish it.



  • I think the argument is, if the left abandons law and order, the right will fill the vacuum with authoritarianism. I believe this.

    We are not going to de-fund the police. In Ontario the right wing Ford government has reduced the educational requirements of people entering the police force, this is a blatant attempt to keep the police racist and sexist. The left leaning parties have no interest or plans on how to recruit or train the police. The vacuum, means that right wing parties push to get what they want, an authoritarian police force.






  • This will make Reddit worse. Some people will start to edit their comments to make them nonsense. Trust will erode further. Search will slowly become nonfunctional.
    From a users perspective, coming across a nonsensical thread (because comments have been edited), is much worse than see deleted comments. Not only does trust disappear people, but people become angry that the comments are outright random/bizarre/lies.
