    The only thing I’m getting here is that you think that police are the only/ultimate positions of authority, which is shedding some light on the rest of your “arguments”.

    Good luck infiltrating the cops my dude, I wish you the best and good luck. I’ll be over here working on other, useful things.

      No it’s one part. But we’re not discussing some panacea. We’re discussing one part. Do you want more paragraphs?

      Ultimately the point is what exactly is the plan on the left. What power are they left with in society

        No, I don’t really want more paragraphs dude, it’s getting exhausting trying to parse any points out of what’s already there. I’m still trying to wrap my mind around thr fact that the person who posted this video of cops being terrible people would then advocate for leftists to befriend and become cops themselves, over advocating for institutional, systematic change.

        And if you’re implying that the left has no plan, I implore you to extricate yourself from the rock you’re living under.

          I have not said befriend cops. I’ve said leftist need to stop alienating themselves from want positions of power and authority which include cops.

          The left does not have any plan. For the last decade, the left has been actively working against itself.

          We live in a world of Cambridge analytics, Peter Thiels, Heritage foundations, TPUSA and so on. I don’t think it’s crazy to think the left is pushed to becoming weaker and less effective by these groups. The signs are how militant that the left have become in giving up everything that is critical to being successful as a group. We’re all on lemme during a well advertised ‘exodus’ during a time when reddit gave mods a lot more power and removed tools to perform analysis just as we were all given AI tools that can be used to perform analysis by anyone.

          Everybody is going to focus on putting their effort into a protest now. Just like before. Then go home and do nothing. I’m tired of it. In order to get actual change we need to change. To do that we need to focus on doing what works for everyone one else. Focus on getting people into positions where they have actual power and authority

              Sure, you two. I’ll come back in 3 weeks when there’s been a protest and nothing has changed and everyone has moved onto something new that week
