  • Youre right, the police do have a monopoly on violence and will kidnap you for meeting violence with violence, as they can’t have their monopoly or their authority questioned. Although, I don’t consider that a good thing, myself.

    The role of the police has and will always be to protect the assets of the rich. Everything else they do is a side hustle to justify their authority. Please dont get me wrong, some of those side hustles are very important but that’s not what they’re for. Nearly every modern police force is built on either or a combination of the British police officer or the American. One started as a private security force to protect wealthy peoples assets from starving people during the bread riots and the other was founded by slave catchers.

    Every single police force started out that way and i just don’t think you can build from or reform-away that kind of foundation.



  • Haha nice, I had something similar to this. I’m an accountant/auditor who has ADHD and doing that undiagnosed was a special kind of hell. I was lucky enough to work in a very reputable firm too and the good ones, when you complete your work, will carry out a formal, two-stage review process. They’ll write out, on a separate sheet all the errors you made and you have to reply with how you fixed them. First by my line manager or department head and then by the partner who’s client it was.

    Essentially, I had to have multiple teams of professional auditors telling me, in explicit detail and fully evidenced, that I had a problem with errors of inattention for years before I finally realised that I might have a problem with errors or inattention.

    Luckily, I respond particularly well to the medication and things are much better now.
