Correct... Not like that
"Law enforcement should be conducted specifically in the way that I imagine, not in the way that people vote for."
- Someone speaking unironically, believe it or not.
ACAB. This isn't the place to try to garner sympathy for your threats against society from the ruling class, traitor.
I'm just glad the Lemmy devs didn't set a maximum block limit so I don't have to pick and choose which bad-faith attackers like yourself I block.
Alternate viewpoint, it's not about doing it a specific person's "way" but more about not doing it the objectively stupid way.
One person's opinion is another person's "objectively stupid."
I have yet to see a reasonable proposition on how to do traffic enforcement that seems to sit right with the vast majority of people.
My point in making the above joke(s) is that this is the alternative that many people cried out for. It feels like goal-post moving when every way to enforce the law is "but not this way, a different way."
My guess at the common denominator that cannot possibly be objectively confirmed is that people simply don't want to be met with consequences for breaking the law, and no matter how that's done it will be rejected.
In other words, every way to enforce traffic has downsides - every single one. This is the one that does not involve cops. As you see, this is the downside. It's laughably easy to "THIS IS BAD" at it while proposing no alternatives, and very amusing when an alternative (like this one) is eventually picked apart for being "objectively stupid" when its downsides inevitably crop up.
I dunno man you come off as pretty objectively stupid, but whatever
Nice cop-out!
If it makes you feel better I feel the same way about you, given you appear to be in love with ad hominem.
3/3 of your comments were intellectually lazy, 2/3 were ad hominem. Do you ever contribute anything meaningful or am I good to block you?
Edit:
Wait, why wait for your answer? Someone doing an ad hominem multiple times in a row is obviously not worth chatting with further. Seeya!
Lol what fraction of your comment do I not give a fuck about hahaha
