Wow, your perceptions are so screwed up you think this is far left? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[(Anonymous)]

What do you consider far left?

[(Anonymous)]

We're going to seize ever bit of property and land and re-distribute it equally, each person gets allocated the same percentage of everything needed to live, all jobs not for the betterment of humanity will be eliminated and those people re-assigned etc etc etc.

That's too clear of an explanation for the far left. The far left wants to say "Abolish private property" and "Abolish the police" and abolish this and abolish that and not explain what they mean, so when people who don't understand the snappy phrasing are reasonably worried about not being able to own their own things anymore or what will happen to murderers and rapists if there's no more police, they get yelled at because "I can't believe you think abolish the police means we literally want to abolish the police, oh my god you're so stupid."

News flash: Complex solutions don't easily get dumbed down into a catchy phrases and people only want easy soundbites and refuse to put in the mental work. You try to give people the clear explanation and they scream socialism. You do the catchy phrase and they scream that it's unrealistic. It's almost like they don't want to do anything.

[(Anonymous)]

Newsflash that's why you either come up with a catchy phrase that's accurate enough to get the real idea across, or don't use one. That's allowed! You're allowed to keep complex situations complex instead of turning them into misinformation!

And then nothing gets done, because people.

That's not "the far left."

That's just being so goddamn exhausted of having to explain the same thing over and over to people who won't listen because they're happy living in their own bubble that no one else's reality can pierce. Unfortunately, a consequence of that means you might prejudge others as being incapable of listening or seeing what you might consider obvious.

Imagine you're in an abusive relationship.

Every day, you're treated like shit by your partner. But everyone else *loves* your partner, because he treats *them* like kings and queens, or at least he seems nice enough. They can't understand why you're so unhappy in your relationship, and think there must be something wrong with you. Meanwhile, behind closed doors, you're insulted and made to feel like you're never enough, maybe you're even physically abused. You try to tell someone about the abuse, but they know your partner, and there's noooo way he's treating you like that! After all, he helped so-and-so in their time of need, so he's a stand up guy! You try to show evidence of the abuse, but they just ask you what your part in the abuse was, or brush it off as "all relationships have problems."

Now imagine that happening over and over. You think you'd be tired of explaining it to someone else after a while?

Now imagine it's happening on a national level. You don't have one abuser, but potentially hundreds of thousands, and you pray you don't run into one today (especially one who's in a bad mood). And you certainly don't have the breath to waste on people who can't be bothered to step outside of their own bubble. They've shown they can't be relied on to even believe you, so now you're using all your energy looking out for yourself and others like you.

And for the record, nobody says "abolish the police." They say "defund the police." Because local police often have equipment that might be more appropriate for, say, the army, and tend to be dangerous if you find yourself on the wrong side (even if you did nothing wrong). Personally, I wouldn't "defund" the police as much as I would reallocate those funds toward deescalation training and weeding out powerhungry assholes. We don't need over-the-top weaponry or rewards for shitstains who shoot unarmed people in the back. I'd also take some of the stuff cops are expected to deal with and give them other special training (for example, a disturbance involving a person with behavioral health issues, which may not be understood/tolerated by police), or just give the task to someone else altogether.

Oh, and I should note: not all police, but definitely too damn many of them. Good cops often exist in the short term, because they are either pushed out for trying to hold the bad cops accountable, or they eventually give up and get absorbed in a system that rewards bad cop behavior, which turns them into bad cops as well (due to their enabling of bad cop behavior).
