Breakdown: The unwinding of law and order in our cities has happened quickly
- Bostonian 6y agoAnother article today from City Journal on the same theme: "The End of Chaz: In Seattle’s “autonomous zone,” lives are destroyed under the banner of social justice." https://www.city-journal.org/end-of-chaz https://www.city-journal.org/end-of-chaz
- aiscapehumanity 6y agoYou know, if i had to use all my brain power, id wager it isn't simply only 'toxified social justice' but literally failed politics top-down and a major socioeconomic downturn.If thats the case, the solution is larger than directly attacking the culture of spontaneous anarcho-liberals since they're all resultants or symptoms of larger systematic failures. If you want to prevent other CHAZ's which are likely not uniformally spontaneous across the lands you cannot avoid the discussion of helicopter economics as one of the gateways of restoring a sense of civic relevancy and econ stability.
- rossdavidh 6y agoSo, uh, I even find the "defund the police" rhetoric and policy to be unwise, but the text of this article is, shall we say, not very balanced or objective. Not saying that the mainstream alternative IS balanced and objective, but if one is looking for a cool and dispassionate evaluation of the facts, this is not it.
