I never said I thought an institution with similar powers to the FBI shouldn’t exist. I said that the FBI itself has proven itself beyond repair and control. So it should be disbanded. I can think of many ways it could be done better but for decades the same problems at the FBI have been occurring so the slate needs to be wiped clean.
- bell-cot 3y agoWith similar powers (and similar lack if oversight), I’m thinking that such an FBI-replacement agency would have similar problems in very short order. Sounds like a laborious feel-good exercise.
- monero-xmr 3y agoYou are somehow advocating for the FBI by saying “yes it’s a corrupt mess but nothing could ever be better”. What a defeatist, nihilistic opinion.
- bell-cot 3y agoVs. you’ve saying that replacing the FBI with the GCJ, then replacing that with the HDK, … IEL … JFM … would actually improve things? Sounds like you basically regard it as a PR problem. /s?
- chiefalchemist 3y agoThe fact that the FBI persists "as is" *and* doesn't change its way tells us one very important thing...to those who matter it's doing a great job. It's doing what it's supposed to be doing. The FBI is similar to the economy. Many complain "...the economy isn't working..." But the economy is working. Quite well. And as designed, expected and desired. That is, the wealth is trickling up. More and more in less hands. Etc. It's working. So the FBI is working as intended. Changing it would be fixing a symptom. Note: I'm not siding with the FBI, only hoping to explain why its able to persist.
