The Ministry of Truth (DOGE) is operating as expected.

I’d feel bad for them, but they wanted to be cops.

Right there in black and white.

Interesting statement from the individual who refused to see police officers as human beings.

So AOC is supposed to be silent and let ORAGNE paint the town red?

I don’t call the cops. I call my friends. The last thing I want when I’m “in distress“ is for a bunch of stupid, authoritarian, armed thugs showing up to make everything 1000 times worse, possibly by murdering everyone around them just because they felt like it that day.

This entire comment of yours is a hallucinatory coping mechanism, since you seem to think that your group of friends won't revert to the same barbaric behaviour that you accuse all law enforcement officers of.

But you can still be involved! Get on the community oversight boards, or volunteer.

Yes, I was more thinking that rebellion can come as a direct result of an increasingly fascist state, a form of blowback against authoritarianism.

I find government a necessary evil, but left to its own devices, it will follow the Second Law of Thermodynamics, and create increasing chaos in society in attempting to maintain its own order.

What do you call societal rebellion against an unjust government?

Then if you find the cops bad, why not become one, despite your distaste for the profession? Someone needs to do the work, better a conscientious individual such as yourself.

Alternatively, create a better system of crime mitigation on a local level and lead by example. It would be better for society as a whole for people to stop being so complacent, and change things in their local community.

It is odd how prophetic the first Matrix movie was, despite being a part of the machinery itself. Btw, it's worth reading "Simulacra and Simulation" as the first movie is a decent film representation of the premises in the book. Warning, it's a heavy read philosophically. Free your mind.
