Have they fixed the mechanics? Because that was the biggest stumbling block for the old system, being just this side of unusable.

I've listened to a couple of Let's Plays and it seems like they've changed the base mechanics to a percentile system that resembles Call of Cthulhu/Delta Green.

It seems so wildly impossible for "police abolition" to be even seriously considered for some people because holy poo poo, the entire structure has been glued together to work this way for longer than anyone can remember.

Why hasn't anyone used RICO against Wall Street? the only reason anyone is able to pretend the economy is actually good is because of the tremendous amounts of fictional money the financial industry constantly shuffles around that's why the economy as a whole took a poo poo just because some people defaulted on subprime loans

The person they're responding to is dumb in a generic run-of-the-mill D&D kinda way where they're very mad at this strawman in their head and give it a real person's name but goddamn this take  Is she conflating jobs and slavery in a "wage slavery is war against the lower classes" communist fashion, because I already think that's kinda dumb (no, you cannot be an anime appraiser after the revolution) but it's the least-insane reason I can think of to do that then they came for the profitable real estate, and I did not speak out, because I was not a wealthy landowner

MSNBC did a really bad thing today and broadcast a self-narrated excerpt from Clinton's new book. It almost made me fall asleep at the wheel on my way to work.

mastershakeman posted:what'd people do for the big felony crimes prior to that (murder, kidnapping , etc) typically, it was a community affair. there'd be a sheriff or two, supported by (often unarmed) volunteer constables and a neighborhood watch. if poo poo really went down, the sheriff would round up a posse of volunteer helpers or call in the militia. in places where there was a particular problem, a detective agency would be hired this was sufficient for dealing with violent crime, which wasn't all that common anyway. but since those systems were inherently designed to protect communities, they weren't very good at protecting the commerce and profits of rich industrialists, and they weren't a reliable bulwark against the social shifts caused by the Industrial Revolution and the rise of capitalism. so professional police forces started springing up with the objective of enforcing class divisions, protecting the property and infrastructure of the mega-rich, intimidating the increasingly-poor working class into submission, and cracking down on social movements that could potentially threaten the oligarchs' profits or position. in the American South they had the extra objective of enforcing racial divisions as well as class divisions
