Great writing on the current Reddit saga. The author put down in words a lot of things in my mind I couldn't find the right words.

I just don’t like the “police” comparison. There are ways to motivate people to keep order without sending armed state goons to kill or imprison you.

I think weather or not this comparison is good or bad will completely depend on where you're from. The concept of police is good. It's how it's practiced that is either good or bad.

disagree on "the concept of police is good"

like I see what you think the police ideally should do, but the police never were about that, and you don't need police (as in, the institution) to have that
