You can’t be "tough on crime" and also pro-government (pro-police, pro-military, etc.) because government is the biggest criminal the world has ever seen.
Yet, so many government supremacists love to position themselves as "tough on crime". It would be funny if it didn't have such disastrous consequences/
The way they get away with this deception and diversion is by misdefining crime as something government forbids, rather than as an act which violates someone's rights. It's dishonest, yet many people fall for it completely.
Owning a machine gun without government permission isn't a real crime. Enforcing a counterfeit "law" against the person who owns a machine gun without government permission is a crime. But it's a crime government loves to commit, with the approval of these lying "tough on crime" types.
You could find myriad examples. If there's not a specific, individual victim, it's not a crime. To treat it as though it is a crime is criminal. "Tough on crime" people need to suck on that for a while.
It's quite useful to coin a new word; I like "krime".
ReplyDeleteA krime is an unprovoked action that hurts someone, and is morally wrong. A "crime" is just the breakage of a government law; ie, an opinion backed by guns. Morally neutral.
Yep. You say "krime", I say "archation". Both mean an actual rights violation, not just ignoring some political criminal's opinions.
