https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsY70_uIXNc&t=1710s James Risen, you should have really considered your debate stipulation of "no take backsies" that you are clearly invoking now, as it relates to your remark at 15:30.

Tom Robinson’s powerful shoulders rippled under his thin shirt. He rose to his feet and stood with his right hand on the back of his chair. He looked oddly off balance, but it was not from the way he was standing. His left arm was fully twelve inches shorter than his right, and hung dead at his side. It ended in a small shriveled hand, and from as far away as the balcony I could see that it was no use to him. “Scout,” breathed Jem. “Scout, look! Reverend, he’s crippled!” Reverend Sykes leaned across me and whispered to Jem. “JJe got it caught in a cotton gin, caught it in Mr. Dolphus Raymond’s cotton gin when he was a boy . . . like to bled to death. . . tore all the muscles loose from his bones — ” Atticus said, “Is this the man who raped you?” “It most certainly is.” Atticus ’s next question was one word long. “How?” Mayella was raging. “I don’t know how he done it, but he done it — Also, it’s an insult to anyone who’s an amputee or shrivel-armed to assume that this disability makes them less of a human and therefore somehow incapable of being a real threat to my virginity. ”

rudatron posted:Power hierarchies sustain themselves regardless of the intentions of the people involved. Talking about how the answer to the world's problems, is getting the 'right' people in power, who are sufficiently virtuous, is reactionary, because that fundamental power structure dynamic is ignored. You may as well talk about how good a theocracy is, because clearly a pious leadership is more virtuous. what about getting the "right" people in power who are so blisteringly incompetent that even with infinite resources at their disposal they still can't manage to quash revolutions.

Which considering the Tories are a bunch of pedophile money laundering bankers, may be intentional.

sure but that was part of his pitch for the last election too - right after a major terror attack, he started pitching the idea that 'tory policing cuts' made the UK less safe since he's doubling down on it, i imagine there's some evidence it was effective, which is troubling to me

The UK Left talks about crime and funding in terms of officers on the ground and help centers and social programs. In the US, being "tough on crime" means providing more money for prisons and giving assault rifles to cops. Violent crime is actually on the rise in the UK, while in the US we usually get brainwashed into thinking crime is through the roof when it's actually level or dropped.

ACAB, but funding youth programs and rape kits and stuff is a good thing. I'm guessing that when funds are cut, the money goes towards maintaining the cops and the preventative stuff is given less money.

Also, apparently in 1999 a report found that UK police were racist and they took it seriously and addressed it. Whereas we still have debates among Liberals on whether institutionalized racism even exists.
