crime is a spook

US tomahawking 200 kids at girl school in Iran recently.
didn’t they also double tap to kill the responders and survivors

Similarly, a politician can abuse kids with impunity, but you can go to prison for seeing pictures of him doing it (or of others doing the same).
I’m not saying that possession of CSAM shouldn’t be illegal, but if we’re not prosecuting the crimes they depict, then is what they depict the crime or is it the knowledge it’s happening and who’s doing it?
You just need to familiarize yourself with the concept of blackwhite. Do you know much newspeak?

That’s the point of government: the state has a monopoly on the legitimate use of physical force.
That’s from “Politics as a Vocation” by Max Weber. It’s also why the population needs to beat back if that violence isn’t legitimate (i.e. it’s abusing the population in the first place).
Or dissolve the government and realise offloading societal obligations to use violence to a hierarchical organisation is not the solution.
If there must be violence, let it come from the people for the people.

Government is like money. Get rid of it and people will create it again to fill the function they need it to fill, so let’s have it do what we need and help instead of harm

I just assume the evil sumbitches are doing that on all the bombings now

Who cares about the school. Were the children also fake?
Oh, children don’t look like children on camera you have to paint capybaras.

you’re making that up

It’s easy to get away with crime, though.
Step 1: have parents who are billionaires
Step two, pick victims who are socially disadvantaged

The biggest fault of Game theory is that it is biased towards instant utility and short-term rewards. It does not model for scenarios where reduced short-term rewards can lead to greater gains in the long-term.
In short, decisions made for singular benefit typically have worse long-term results than decisions accounting for collective benefit.
That’s a failure of that specific model. It just needs more creative mathematicians/theorists

Criminal law is basically self interest fully encoded. “Well I don’t want bad things to happen to me, so lets codify them all and make it illegal to do any of them.”

Morality is not a social construct, it’s part and parcel of the social contract.
And the social contract is some divine thing, or what?

Vigilantism is not a suitable replacement. The general population is shit at properly investigating things.
Just look at how Reddit responded to who they incorrectly thought was the Boston Marathon bomber. A lot of innocent people will die to mob justice.

and innocent people die at the hands of police. i’m willing to take my chances with my neighbors.

if you’re going to just make things up, you should start off by letting everyone know so tehy don’t waste their time on your storytelling.

your gif broke. but i foundi t, and it’s just an appeal to ridicule, not evidence for your claim.

I can guarantee you that mob justice would be worse.
It used to be commonplace for innocent black people to be hung because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time and a bunch of pissed off white people wanted to kill someone.
The state making that a crime and enforcing it is what stopped it from being commonplace.

And other shit liberals tell themselves to never attempt change.

Community defences is a suitable replacement.
I can point to millions of examples of cops and courts getting it wrong and innocent people suffering and dying, yet that’s not an argument against the system for you so why should it be against community management?
