I had absolutely no idea what occult quacks chiropractors were for an embarrassingly long time. I thought it was just another medical specialization, like dermatology. No one told me otherwise and it was only a few years ago that I learned that orthopedic specialists and neurologists practiced something very different than the quackery that still legally allowed to blend in as if it were an actual medical specialization, to make suckers like me fail to notice the difference at a glance. I'm glad I never went to see one before I knew better. :the-more-you-know:

    Dirty Harry and its consequences and so on and so on. :zizek-fuck:

    For real, so much copaganda has the grand and intoxicating idea that if only the boys in blue (now in not-nazi black or tacticool camo!) were allowed to do their jobs and if only the meddlesome bureaucrats and regulations and those damned defense lawyers didn't get in the way, the streets would be safe. :brainworms:

      You can see this by watching even five minutes of a cop show on TV. They do "the law is going to prevent us from carrying out justice" so frequently in cop shows.
