Yes, but if we don't have so many shitheads in the street how can we justify such bloated police budgets? I would rather spend the money on our fine boys and girls in blue then some people who actually need it.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Okay, but we have to be careful what part of the budget the money goes to. If we pay the cops too much, they might send their kids to college or some other liberal bullshit; and if we pay too much for training, we might accidentally get them competent instructors instead of grifters who promise them that killing people will make their pp hard. We have to make sure that we only buy military surplus that no police force could conceivably need, and paint it scawwy black, because military camo isn't oppressive enough.

Also I don't quite get it. Who makes the money?

Oh is this so they can work?

Do they have to sign a contract where they will work for you or else they lose the house and counseling?

I just don't see how a society can continue if they aren't paying their fair share!

The worst thing is, this is a far more effective way to make them productive members of society. It just isn’t cruel.

If it's not cruel, I'm not doing it!

It still blows my mind that some people cannot comprehend that not everything needs an exchange of currency in some way shape or form.

"They don't do anything in return?" "They don't get worse!" "But who compensates the people who help them?" "We do." "But then who compensates us?"

I view it as a form of capitalism indoctrination. If there's no material compensation it's a bad idea, which is the capitalist idea of "if I don't make a profit I won't do it". I've seen people argue free energy is bad because the excess energy cannot be monetized, which is something you say only if you want to profit from energy.
