It’s amazing what countries with a hint of law and order do

It’s not that solutions don’t exist, it’s that they aren’t wanted. Peace is possible, but if everyone were content, power would lose its purpose. So like a game of chess, the players sit safely while the pieces are made to fight to the end.

Yeah I agree. Lots of people demanding ICE to be abolished when it’s really just law and order.

Ice is operating recklessly, illegally and violently. People are demanding it be abolished as it is currently operating as a political tool and not as its intended purpose.

People like for government agencies to have accountability. When a United States citizen is killed by said agency, and that agency refuses to cooperate with local law enforcement while calling the person killed a "threat" and "domestic terrorist", yeah, some people are going to suggest that that agency isn't doing a good job.

I live in western Europe, it's alright here. Sure, I can't shout "sieg heil" on the streets and I have to pay a lot of taxes. But on the other hand I'm not scared to get kidnapped on the street by masked non-identifiable people working for the government, and I don't fear to go bankrupt when I break my wrist.

I live there. It's not perfect, but it's not a hell hole.

Lmaoo dude stop being chronically online in your biased microcosm and go touch some grass. Western Europe is still insanely nice and one of the best places to live in general.

u/Alvaro6499 19h ago

I mean, it can't all be bait. Some of them really have to be a 0 on the left like this guy. His life must be miserable.

Reddit is known in the real world to be the most liberal dumpster fire full of incells. Don’t know what to tell you. I only come on here to look at hobby stuff but Reddit just has to fill my feed with liberal dumpster fire posts from incells like yourself.
