The best martial art for practical self defense is sprinting, or so I'm told

Does anyone have a link to a good piece on what police abolitionists have proposed as an alternative? It's really not a subject I know anything about.

i can't find it at the moment, but surviving edged weapons reminds me of the insane firearms training video that was encouraging tactical rolls and filmed like an action movie. it also included a long shot of a man puking after witnesses a shoot-out.

This article gets into some of the essential ideas put forward by police abolitionists in Chicago.

Ah yes the famously safe working conditions of third-world factories where slaves “employees” are well-compensated for their labor.

Just because Liquor's dead, doesn't mean you can just roll this bitch all over town with "The Freedoms."
It's been a while since Matt Taibbi was on Chapo, but an article was released today clearing him of the accusations against him. Hopefully it alleviates the damage done to his reputation and he'll be on as a guest again, maybe even restart the TARFU Report as well.

"Reality based self defense" martial arts are generally marketed to rich white people who think that Hip Hop Style MS-13 Black Lives Matter Antifa Super Soldiers are waiting to murder them as soon as they leave their house. And sometimes in their house.

My favorite "self defense" guru will always be Phil Elmore. He was a great combination of the early Rational Internet Dude and Suburban Tactical Operator.

Checking amazon, it looks like his latest bestseller is "Ten things doctors won't tell you about your CPAP machine," so he's now fighting the good fight against sleep apnea and the establishment.

Edit: My greatest regret though is that, in 2004, I did not purchase Matt Furey's "New Video Reveals The Brutal Fighting Techniques and Conditioning Regime George W. Bush Should Use in Preparation for a No-Holds-Barred Fight With Saddam Hussein."

In the second half of fear and loathing in Las Vegas, Thompson talks about doing all the same stuff Taibbi was accused of doing.

Which is not at all a coincidence.

Speaking of the TARFU Report, is there a way to get the subscriber only episodes if, like me, you didn't know it existed until it ended? They shut down their Patreon.

OK that's true, the Bas video is probably the greatest gift the 00s gave us in the martial arts world.
