Lol, saying yes to the death penalty in socialist countries because their justice system is just. These people live in a bubble.
I swear most of these people are bad Chinese state actors
They are not. There are no paid shills on Lemmy.
ActivePub every platform has at least one major Intelligence Agency monitor who has to make a weekly report of ongoing. Do people really think 9/11 didn’t happen on message boards? A lot of secrets for corporate espionage and government leaks happen on message boards. There are worst things to waste staff time on.
“Lemmy” as an app has to have a file in case it comes up on some security matter - it has to have a definition on a Wiki somewhere!
Crazy
I see you goat
also replacing schools with… schools?
unless education is privatised in the us?
To steelman the position somewhat, they did say “Schools as we know them”. Modern schooling does leave a lot to be desired, and if you listen to any passionate professional in the educational field talk about how they’d change and improve schools, it would fundamentally change things.
There are private schools. They range from religious to for-profit operations. There is a public school system that exists, though very… unevenly administrated.
Some on the right are trying to make it that way, but no. The vast majority are in public schools
The police abolition is an interesting one. Do they think there would be zero crime in this fantasy land of theirs?
Possibility 1: They’re idiots who think that ALL crime comes from capitalist material conditions
Possibility 2: They want to return to the pre-police system where military forces simply shoot people who are being unruly and influential locals decide who is or is not investigated for crimes
Possibility 3: They want to return to the pre-state system where the tribe communally gets together and beats anyone to death who blasphemes against the Holy Scriptures (in this case, of Lenin, Stalin, and Mao)
“abolish the police” always has been such a dumb and empty slogan.
Yes, yes, police in the us needs an enormous overhaul that will likely take decade, if (and whenever) implemented.
But just dumping, abolishing it? How stupid are you?
