    I’m surrounded by people who watch local news, which is 99% “a criminal did something bad…but then our plucky boys in blue CAUGHT HIM!” It’s not enough that every other movie or TV show is about cops (or superheroes or cowboys or people in the space navy, who are all also cops). CNN / MSNBC / Fox News would honestly be an upgrade for people who still consume local news.

      More often its, 'a criminal did something bad... we haven't caught him yet, so stay extremely vigilant, 100% of the time; you could be the one that finds him!' So people create the fantasy of being a vigilante and install security cameras all around their house in the suburbs.

          I signed up for nextdoor because I'd heard it was a good place for fashwatching, and I left it after like a month because I couldn't handle how bad it really was. There would be videos of petty theft by kids, and the comments would be about how those children and their parents need to be put in a cage

            yeah, you can watch the fash -- but who wants to know that everyone in their neighborhood is a fashy shitter?
