Besides posting on chapo, what is something you may do often or occasionally that you think/know is pretty lib?
I use to have a hard time saying no to cashiers who'd ask me to round up my total to donate to some terrible organization the store owned or partnered with. Not only are most non-profits complete shit, but doing it this way the store is the one doing the write off too, kinda a double whammy. I stopped doing this for the most part, but occasionally my mouth speaks before I think and I say "sure."
The other thing is buying girl scout cookies sometimes. I just assume this org is bad, i've never really looked into it, but if they are even remotely like the boy scouts, they are for sure bad.
And the last one is probably shopping at the salvation army, which has a horrible track record, has donated to anti-LGBTQA+ orgs, has a horrible labor track record and more. But like, I almost never buy brand new clothes and random household items anymore because it's both so much less expensive this way and the textile industry is one of the worst polluters out there plus they also have horrible labor practices. But in my mind at least, buying second hand is much better to reuse stuff instead of contributing more to those industries.
what do you got?
The police exists to defend existing hierarchies and will always tend to side with conservative currents so all cops are indeed bastards. But we would still need policing of some kind in the free society of the future. This is a real dilemma of police abolition.
One suggestion is to have a voluntary people's militia where members have "real" jobs as well and where it is expected of every citizen that they volunteer at least one in a while. The problem with that is that not everyone can go and do police work. Most people could man a speed gun but other things from driving an emergency vehicle safely to breaking up fighting drunks takes training and experience that you can't expect volunteers to have.
Another solution would be to keep a professional police force but to go the ultimate lib checks and balances route with body cams, harsh punishments for infractions of good behaviour, awareness training, targeted recruitment of minorities etc. It would all be a bandaid on s structural issue though and real world examples shows that this approach can only do so much.
The free society of the future could also shift focus in training and recruiting police from being interior troops to being more like social workers and tone down the gun and uniform part of the job to discourage chuddy types from joining.
