Very interesting a provoking article. I didn't really get what you mean with
Every time I read a news story of some horrible State sponsored violence, I look for how it came to be that this awful thing happened. So often, it is because some "do gooder" called the government goons on their neighbor. The State tends to protect these people because they are useful for revenue generation and also for propping up power and/ or perceived legitimacy.
So the question remains - Why?
These "do gooders" need to be held responsible too. Clearly, most of them have no idea that their actions are so dangerous. Others do intend harm on their neighbors and call the busters knowingly.
Is there anything that can be done about that? Can we start focusing on these people and see if that could persuade them from using the State against fellow humans?
I will wait for a clarification, because It won't be a good decision to express my opinion if I am not properly informed.
Education and Technology
I think you hit the nail on the head with this one ! It is our resposibility to educate ourselves and our children ! Leaving such an important task solely in the hands of the "govenrment" is crazy. One should step back and look at the whole picutre, Education is a life-long process but many choose to neglect it.
Good job !
Thanks!
Hmm. I'm struggling with coming up with a good example; not enough coffee. There are certainly many examples of victims of the Drug War where neighbors call law enforcement on neighbors for truly victimless crimes. Other examples are various code violations and there is the example of the SWATing that happened with the gamers a month or two ago.
I may have to come back to you on this with a clearer mind in a few, but my intention is to point out that people use law enforcement for grudges or misunderstandings against other people and that often goes very badly for the target.
I kinda got it, thank you ! But if you have a problem with a person adn you can't do nothing about it how should one deal with the situation ?
I think steemit is a very good example of how certain individuals do whatever they like and the community does a very poor job self-regulating the platform. If you are implying on more decentralized society, we have a long long way to go :)
