“We hate you, therefore you must: shut up, starve, become a slave, etc…

Police may protect innocent citizens from criminals, but they also protect criminals from the victims who may otherwise act to exact revenge. This has always been the incoherence behind the defund crowd - without the police, criminals are fair game for vigilantes.

This is a silly, juvenile take. If these numbers are true, it’s a tragedy. And the real question should be what can our institutions do next time to avoid politicising public health efforts. Part of that should involve engaging with critics instead of telling them to shut up.

This argument will also appear in my next Sonder piece.
You want to give the land back?
Okay, to whom do you give it?
My argument is not that stealing is ok, but that
(a) every piece of land has been stolen, multiple times
(b) we do more damage by trying to rectify old erors than just accepting them
This is a utilitarian tool for old errors; not prescriptive, legitimizing future thefts.
